The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

>>I guess then it boils down to the size of that fraction...<<

Nah. That's quibbling.

Whether on the street soliciting, in a car negotiating, or engaging in the act, a hooker is a hooker.

$50.00 or $5000.00, whether the act results in 'satisfaction' or not, the booking will list prostitution.

If you solicited a cop, you're guilty of soliciting prostitution even though it wasn't actually a prostitute. - sano

You are entirely missing the point I was making.... The relative size of the two factions has everything to do with the odds of a successful coup. If 1/10 of the population supports Trump's assertion and 9/10's are opposed, then Trump is not likely to succeed. Since we discussing the likelihood of losing our democracy, that ratio is important.
