34. I called you on your criticism
of Madonna for selling sex. I countered that almost all "visual" celebrities do.

You responded that she sold "sex to make millions then criticize(d) those who sell sex for mere survival." What does that mean? It was unclear whether you fault her for becoming wealthy by marketing her attractiveness or you feel she has demeaned other workers in the industry of supplying sexual stimulation. I only remember a few quotes from her regarding sex-industry workers, and they were all supportive.

I asked for a citation where she had spoken ill of any sex workers. You had no answer.

Who's bullshitting?


In response to your next assertion that some (unidentified) hypocrites fail to acknowledge some amorphous "connection" between successful purveyors of sex and those who fail to become rich. Actually, I have no idea what point you were trying to make. I did try to paraphrase and parrot your statement back in order to receive a clarification, but you merely tantrum-ed about straw and the decline of the definition of "democrat". Perhaps you're attempting to be subtle, but you're merely gibbering.

You haven't supported one of your statements. Every query I've made has been ignored or misdirected.

Who's bullshitting?

You end by increasing the invective of your personal insults. That sounds like bullshit to me. That sounds like someone venting their spleen, then failing to coherently explain their rancor. In short, that's bullshit.
