We live in a society that condones killing innocent villagers a world away on the suspicion of their harboring "terrorists" and we condemn a couple of dumb women for trading sex for rent and then even more money for not telling the fool's wife. Bombing innocents is murder and grifting is just stupid.

When you commit crimes, like drug dealing, the crime they can and do get you on is not declaring the income and thus not paying taxes on it, even if the source of the income is illegal. You still have to delcare it and pay taxes on it.
Well then they should legalize drug dealing and prostitution so that people feel safe declaring the income.

No, you would prefer to suppress freedom and free trade.

A local store has a motto that reads:

'Everything you buy comes from China. If you want to buy American, visit a hooker or buy some weed."

But again, the bigger part of this story of declining morals is that Americans just do not know their own history.

Hmmmmm.....a married man looking to settle for sex in place of rent, but ends up empty-handed and facing extortion. Someone find my sympathy bag....it's gone missing.

you are outright lying. We do not condone the killing of innocent civilians. We regret that it happens, as it's inevitable as part of war, especially when terrorists hide amongst civilians, hoping to get civilians killed to win public sympathy. That's a long way from "condoning" civilian deaths by us.

Well oddly I agree with you on that, I have no sympathy for the dumbaz landlord, I do however think these women should face the criminal charges. Had they just ended it with one session and got their months free, I would have just laughed the story off..

We live in a society that legislates the murder of babies via abortion and uses tax payer funds to pay for those murders. You don't have to go offshore if your intent is to point the finger at moral decline.
