It aint a lack of mass transportation I’ll tell you what.

What is wrong with us? Talk about malaise.

OK, a few weeks ago, it was discovered that the Governor of New York, Mr. Spitzer, was paying $5 grand to meet with a young girl in a hotel and that he probably wanted to have anal or condom less intercourse and that he wasn’t going to get that.

Now let’s look across the pond to England

[Nazi themed sex party by the head of Gran Prix Racing](http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/07/world/europe/07formula.html) in which, five women, count them 5 or as Mr. Mosley would say "Eins! Zwei! Drei! Vier! Funf!” some dressed in striped concentration camp costumes and how much does this cost?

Five Thousand Dollars. That’s right; the same Mr. Spitzer paid to not get anal sex.

Why is sex so expensive in America? Who has inflated this for their own ends? The so called ‘sex shortage’ is a hoax people. Wake and stop the corporate big wigs from price gouging us into boring sex.

Er, so the problem in America is a lack of anal sex with young girls?

And it is so expensive!

For the same 5 grand that you can’t get anal with in America, in England you can get 5 women in a whole Nazi theme night!

Yes, back in the good old days when that quaint trope that they’d remain “technical virgins” held sway. It was a simpler time, when being led down the primrose path had an off-ramp to the hershey highway.

I’m sure ex-Governor Spitzer seriously considered the option of concentration-camp-themed hookers, at a discount rate, but decided that it might not go down well with the Jewish vote in New York.

But did they get Nazi-anal? That’s where you fuck her ass and call it “Invading Poland”.

Sex is much more heavily taxed in Europe than in the US and yet we are actually paying more ‘at the pump’ for less.

Life must be different for men. All the sex I have ever had, no matter how many people were involved or what the theme may have been, has always been free.

You see right there, thats is the problem. America, once the land of opportunity where if there was an chance to make some money, there would be someone taking it. Here we have **pbbth** giving a valuable commodity away for free and thus leading to a demise in the domestic service industry in the US.

Spitzer’s $5000 wasn’t really for sex. Sex, even anal, is much cheaper. He paid for the feeling of power and priviledge that comes with being able to have a $5000 call girl. It’s not even the kind of power rush that he could show off!

All this hate and name calling is probably why some of you don’t have access to free sex. 🙂

If I had access to free sex, I would be so filled with hate.

It’s a classic Catch-22.

:dubious: Oh, yeah?! Just wait 'till the bloom is off your rose, honey! Then . . .

Then you’ll still get it for free.

Hell, you could **charge** for it.

Yeah, life is different for men.

On the other hand, orgasm is virtually a guarantee! Gimme 5 minutes and I’m there… 😃

(2 if an actual female is involved)

Let’s be reasonable- we all know you aren’t going to need that long.

Personally, I think this whole thing is great. About time somebody made F1 interesting again.

I was really just hoping they’d widen the tracks to make it easier to overtake, but beggars can’t be choosers.
