Some folks may have respect for these pimpsters; claiming that they're just doing what they got to do to get what they want. After all they're arguement is "we're not killing or hurting anyone. We're making the girls happy and we're making $$$."
I'm glad to hear your view on it though...don't get me wrong. Maybe I can try and clarify this....I'm not asking how it is helping the community but simply do you see it as a profession or a pity. Should Bishop and his crew be taken serious or should they be pitied and prayed for!
Most of you will probably say prayed for!
This was just a thought that crossed my mind this afternoon and I was wanting to hear your views. Surely I don't partake in offending anyone.

I see where you're coming from, Oneinamillion. And I now agree with others when they say that these "pimps" don't deserve any pity. I guess my "thang" is that I can't see HOW they can JUSTIFY their..."profession"? Yes, they are making money and they are delivering "services" that are in demand (I guess that I can say that, right?)

Anyway, I guess that I'm looking more at the MORAL and ETHICAL aspects of this "profession". And, from my observations, there ARE none. I mean, it's just kinda HARD for me to classify pimping as a profession. It's not like these people file this stuff on their taxes every year.

If that is the case, then another question would be do you consider prostitution, selling drugs, money laundering, or any other criminal activities to be professions also? I don't know. It just seems that pimping would be more like a hobby...you don't haveto do it, but you do because you get some kind of kick out of it. On top of that, it does not line up with MY belief system. I can definitely see that we're all on the same page about pimping though. But you HAVETO admit. My comment about the college courses was really funny, right?

My husband and I were talking about this topic last night and we had a ball imagining what it be like to attend a class on pimping.
