There were a lot of video store owners and managers out of work, once pornography became more about streaming and downloads. but the other thing is that there are a lot of people who make money by finding a place to stand and add almost nothing. it's particularly ironic if your job title is pimp. on some level, in a healthier world where sex work could be rationalized and the risk reduced, your whole job title would be extraneous anyway. it's not exactly a point of great grievance if you're a pimp that suddenly your prostitutes don't require the same level of reliance.

There Were A Lot Of Video Store

More From David Simon

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

Irony is the disparity between what you expect will happen, and what does happen. so raining on your wedding day isn't ironic, it's just crappy. it would have been ironic if she had lived in a place like seattle, and traveled to the desert of mexico for a wedding and it ended up raining there, but not in seattle. alanis always gets the last laugh though. we all sit here, saying her song isn't ironic, but in fact, that's pretty ironic that she wrote a song called ironic that wasn't really ironic. those canadians are pretty crafty.

There are some people who do not want this thing to continue to work, and that's what they're doing is all about. they don't want to unify. they don't want this thing to work. that's the whole point of going forth with grievance after grievance after grievance and victim after victim after victim, because this inherent system... there is an all-out assault on the unity of this country. there are people whose express purpose is to rip it apart.

I am often asked why men don't get as worked up as they might about women - particularly poor women - having to use their bodies as prostitutes. because most men unconsciously experience themselves as prostitutes every day - the miner, the firefighter, the construction worker, the logger, the soldier, the meatpacker - these men are prostitutes in the direct sense: they sacrifice their bodies for money and for their families.

When you help make people healthier, it makes the nation healthier, it makes the world healthier, it makes the economy healthier.

I think if you were to sever the connection between arousal and shame, you might actually come up with something liberating and socially useful. it might be healthier for us, and lead to a situation such as they enjoy in holland, denmark, or spain, where they have pornography all over the place - quite hardcore pornography - but they do not have anywhere the incidence of sex crimes.

Similar Quotes

I never feel sexy. i have a distant relationship with the mirror.

I have no sex appeal, which kills me. the only way i can ever hear heavy breathing from my husband's side of the bed is when he's having an asthma attack.

Don't explain computers to laymen. simpler to explain sex to a virgin.

The most disgusting, appalling horror of our world that we live in, to me, is sex trafficking and the enslavement of men and women, boys and girls, in the sex industry. that is the most horrific, horrific thing that's happening and it's happening in all of our towns here in los angeles, in new york, in london, in paris, all over the world, and i think that's really what has to be addressed.
