America: Land of the free, Home of the handouts

[Centerfire]

Look what we've gone and done. Everyone that ran there companies into the ground wants a hand out and why not? The banks and the big three got theirs. What is my USA turning into? Whatever happened to econimic darwinism? Give me a F**king break guys....

Publicity stunt. His viagra probably quit working.

I would agree that this seems like a publicity stunt.

Either that or an interesting way to pose the question, what makes an industry worth rescue? While I don't know the specifics, I imagine the porn industry employees a large number of people, from producers, to distribution companies, to retail outlets.

I did not support a bailout for the auto industry, and I don't support a bailout for the porn industry, but if you do support bailouts, where do you draw the line?

"where do you draw the line?"

....right after my mortgage would be fine with me. ;p

its getting pretty crazy, not to mention most of these handouts have no check and balances attached to them
