Always seems ridiculous to me why consenting adults are deemed criminals in these prostitution cases. The oldest "Crime" in human history and authorities are still trying to cash in on caper.

Poker players are pretty infamous for getting hookers. All that time at the table prevents them from having meaningful relationships, particularly with someone they would marry and if they are married it's tough to stay so. Paying for sex seems obvious.

Let him, his wife and kids handle it. I could care less.

The first wave of news said it was a male prostitute

then they corrected it to female.

Would have been classic if he wore the fossil man glasses in that mug shot.

Sad this is something that is deemed to be worthy of being news.

Don’t tell me the law. Tell me the judge.

I used to make the same grammatical error until a few years ago. Saying you "could care less" means there is still room for you to actually care. When in actuality, you are trying to say that you do not care at all, thus "could NOT care less.

And I agree that if someone wants to fu ck a prostitute, it is no one else's business but the two consenting adults and her pimp.

^While you are correct grammatically, the phrase is so ubiquitous in the American language that "I could care less" is now short for "I could not care less" (that is, everyone knows what you mean when you say it so no need to correct it).
