Are people who feel prostitution is unacceptable 'jealous' or 'resentful' that they don't get paid for spreading their legs?

It's such a cop-out, why does condemnation have to boil down to resentment or jealousy - can't something be obscene or intolerable simply on its own merits? I wouldn't put myself in the public eye if you paid me a million pounds, nor would I do the thankless job of an MP for all the benefits in the world - the public are f'ing retarded and I'd rather stay well out of their way tbh.

Agreed.

Apparantly she's having an estate funeral.

I stand by my belief that most people in the UK are envious of Jade Goody's wealth and fame and would happily have swapped places with her, right up until the moment she developed cervical cancer - I accept that few people would willingly follow her down that particular path.


Incidentally, do you buy lottery tickets?

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm motivated by money all right. Can't stop thinking about it sometimes. There are, however, limits, and making myself look a complete arse on TV, however much I was offered, is well beyond them. Of course, this could have been what you meant.

Perhaps I'm too optimistic that people might talk the talk but if they were ever given the choice, I think you might get many that refused to walk. Who knows though! That still doesn't mean that even if they would do the same, that they are resentful or jealous that they can't, it just makes them hypocritical.

No, unless it's a scratchcard to use the shorter kiosk queue at Tesco's instead of the big queues

I would love to see a survey conducted to see how many would actually agree with your belief!! I have a feeling you'd be quite surprised Maybe not and maybe it is I that would be. *shrugs* whooo knows! But to be fair... who cares!

If you could possibly need any more proof that her life (and death) is pretty much being prostituted to the highest possible level... they're wanting to make a film

I do think jealousy plays a part in the dislike for Jade than so many people seem to have.
Let's be honest, there aren't many people who can watch Jade on TV and not feel superior in terms of class or intellect. For many people, his then progresses to a feeling of resentment.
"look at her. She's thick, clumsy and coarse so why should she have all that money/easy going lifestyle when I still have to work for a living".

It's not hard to see what leads so many people to their almost vitriolic dislike of the girl.
