They are parasites because they produce no "real product"??? Add to the list teachers, musicians, actors, mail carriers, police, judges, lawyers, doctors, masseusses, physical therapists, secretaries, receptionists, social workers, soldiers, sailors, pilots, taxi drivers, bus drivers, cashiers, waiters, waitresses, bartenders, psychologists, firemen, telephone operators, bank tellers, accountants, street sweepers, stock brokers, clerks, security guards, etc., etc., etc. Are these people all parasites, too? The working girls certainly are not welfare queens - you are not forced to pay for their services, but apparently do - or else why are you here? Do you drive from your home in the US to patronize them, and pay them for their services? Then presumably, you are receiving something of value to you in exchange for your time and money - or else, why do you do it??? As for their profession not being "honest", if they do what they agreed to do, for the agreed upon amount of cash, where is the inherent dishonesty? Perhaps you feel some shame for patronizing them, and project your self loathing onto them? (No extra charge for the pop psychological analysis) . . . My advice to you is, if you think you are not getting anything of value, stop paying them money. If you do agree that they provide a valuable service, allow them a little respect and dignity - they get shit on enough as it is. That's my take, anyway.
