TV3: Sweet Rachel and LaBelleThatcher

[anon361]

How is congratulating someone dampening a fire, pray tell? The point remains, certain people don't like Lilian's opinion and so she is being pilloried. It makes it all a but senseless, don't you think? Unless of course you are only allowed to voice an opinion if it fits, in which case that makes you equal to that you protest against, no?

Bah. Little point talking sense

With the same breath nobody has stopped her voicing her opinions, her posts have not been deleted but are we not allowed disagree with her, it just so happens there are a hell of a lot more that don't agree with her hence why she is being pilloried but that doesn't seem to be stopping her

Of course you can disagree with her. But I read posts accusing of disrespect, jealousy, yadda yadda yadda. I don't think you are looking at the bigger picture with the whole debate thing, but on the same note I don't really intend to waste time explaining how to suck eggs, get on with it. After thirty pages though somehow I doubt it

That's right, yes. However..
Lillian didn't mention Jeans as far as I am aware. Rachel did and you did.
Post #181 - Rachel

We have street workers in Ireland as well, part of the sex trade,dont forget. Those escorts you want in front of the camera , in nice Versace dress , Gucci bag and D&G sun glasses , are not charging Gucci rates nor some opt for not explicit reviews.

On a tv show , I agree with a nice dress, make up etc .. on the street, in cold and rain, walking as a normal person, dressed as one, makes more difference and people will see me as one person more, not a prostitute.

How many ladies go to the shop in fancy shoes and tight jeans?! Every single person know what her work is, by looking at her.

I mentioned jeans, leggings and tights-everyday wear for women. Rachel was wearing everyday wear. How does that reinforce the prostitute stereotype ?

It doesn't. Not in my opinion. It would appear that leggings do in Lillian's opinion and tight jeans do in Rachel's opinion. I don't agree with either of them on that.

[Lilian]

That was a battle darling .. You have yours only online

Stop assuming things you dont know about !

[mellors]

Eh..........no I'm not Mellors.

Given the way this thread has gone it's just as well I disabled youtube comments.

Dont worry frumsp, Rachel just likes to randomly thank me....probably just for being such a wonderful person

[El Gordo]

why dont you just mind your own business? Your not an escort and this isnt your livelihood that can be affected by all this. You cant possibly understand an escorts viewpoint because you arent one so why not let escorts debate this.

Westside.

The proposed legislation criminalises punting in the Republic. I punt in the Republic. Surely even you can figure out why this affects me.

[Lilian]

Hi Lillian,
I have not posted on these boards for a long time but I feel compelled to do so now.
You state you don't work in the Republic yet you criticize Rachel who does work here. If you want to get involved here do so. You say you are only interested because it might affect your profession in another juristiction. I suggest you confine your interest, as well as your work, to those juristictions.
As for suggesting that a young lady like Rachel, because she dressed in jeans and a jumper, the same as thousands of other girls her age all over the world is stereotyping escorts is so stupid as to be unbelievable. In every town in Ireland every day young women are dressed in jeans, leggings, tights under shorts etc. Are you suggesting they are all prostitutes because they dress like that. Are you saying a young lady with a skirt three or four incches above her knee with four inch heels looks less like a prostitute ?
I'm afraid both your motives and your logic are a mystery to me.

As you might recall I stated , additional to what you gave as my reason to do my bit , that I actually care about the people in this business as well as my own interest , that doesnt stop at a county or country boarder .
And I am involved already, kneedeep .
Why would you suggest to confine my work to out of Ireland ?
You can call me stupid if that makes you feel better , but it doesnt change my opinion ...
