This is my second thread, so lets have a SEXY PARTY!!!



I heard this on a Comedy Show, but I thought it was funny, and true, and sad all at the same time.

Have you seen those commercials with those poor, starving children in the "3rd World Countries?" It costs less then a dollar a day to provide them with food, clean water, medicine, and so on.

And then, followed by that, you get a XXX Sex line where it costs $5.00 a minute to talk dirty to a member of the opposite sex.

What we need to do is convice the starving children to talk dirty to us. It would work.

This is a post to bring this back up to the top of the forum. Nothing in particular, just nobody has come here yet, and that makes me sad.

eleveninches
Are you serious??

Fire
same question as 11

are you bloody serious?

burlyman
laughing out loud!

TheProgramSmith
I am not serious, but it would work, if you think about it.

eleveninches
well, if they cant afford food or water, then how are they meant to be able to afford a telephone, or a bank account???

Fire
it is just sick, why not just have to goverment place like a 1$ a minut tax on those numbers and give that money to help those kids

TheProgramSmith
First off, the post was for shits and giggles.

But, to answer your question, because how does that benifit the goverment? They fail to see how giving money away is rewarding. Helping out is, in turn, its own reward. Greed is just a human trait.

Fire
it doesn't have to benefit the government why should it

yerssot
hey Fire, read your own damn sig boy stick out tongue

Fire
well the other forums are empty, and sometimes I dont mind to shut down my brain atleast I CAN reboot it
Which can't be said of too many ppl here

TheProgramSmith
that is their train of thought, Fire.

Let me ask you a question. You have more money then you can spend in 10 lifetimes. Would you be willing to give some away?

More often then not, the response to that question is "no." Greed is a disease, my friend.

TheProgramSmith
Fire, remember when I said this...

Fire
I dunno about you mate, but the belgian government gives away millions to ppl in need each year, still not enough IMO
and well I dont even have enough money as it is but I do give about 25 $ a month to various charity organisations

Fire
and I remember what you said

WindDancer
Phone Sex and starving children? This is indeed an oddity.

Fire
well it'd be an easy way to get money smile putting etxra taxes on Porn

WindDancer
Nah! Porn should never be tax. wink

yerssot
the more tax on that the merrier big grin

tazman
laughing laughing laughing



well if the starving children did do that, how would we understand what they're sayin'? confused

TheProgramSmith
Indeed. Quite the pickle.

Does nobody find it puzzling that it costs more to talk dirty to a person on the phone for one minute then to care for a starving child for a day?

Fire
no it's because those things are bloody expensive

TheProgramSmith
But, in essence, that is saying sex is more important then surviving.
