Prostitution, Massage Parlors, and X-Rays

[NaturalWonder83]

I would like your opinions on the following questions below that I often think about:

1) If you are not allowed to drink and drive, why are bars and beer festivals allowed to operate? Why can restaurants sell alcohol if you’re not allowed to drink and drive?

2) If steroids are illegal, why are people allowed to discuss openly on YouTube and admit to taking steroids and their cycles?

3) Why are prostitution and massage parlors (with happy endings) illegal? Let’s say a gorgeous woman marries an older, rich, ugly man. And the only reason she stays with him and has sex with him is because of their lavish lifestyle and the spending money he gives her. And he knows this. So how is this different from prostitution? What makes it so bad if it’s a nerdy, sad man visiting a massage parlor and he’s too nervous to be with a woman and he gets a happy ending and then leaves? And he feels happy that someone actually is nice to him and touches him. Why is that illegal? How is that different than a loveless marriage where the nerdy man is rich and his wife only touches him because of his money?

4) Why must we fast before blood work? If blood panels are supposed to tell us how healthy we are in every day life, shouldn’t we be getting blood taken while in fed state? Being most humans spend their days in fed state? Why are we getting blood work during a period of the day that is not representative of how we normally are? I’ve lied to doctors before and told them I’m fasted when I get blood work done and my results are just the same as when I’m fasted. And it makes no sense that just fasting for a brief time prior to blood work is going to somehow make a huge difference and have a profound effect on how our body is.

5) How do we know X-rays are not a scam? Especially dental X-rays. None of us know how to read X-ray results. Why does the dentist bother explaining the results to us? How do we even know those are not someone else’s X-rays just to make us appear sicker than we are?

1. because its not compulsory that you have to drive to and from festivals, restaurants and bars

2. its illegal to sell steroids but not use or possess them

3. because the definition of prostitution doesn't include a husband and wife situation.

4. because food can alter the levels of glucose and cholesterol in your bloodstream

5 I have x-rays regularly for my kidneys, I have a small coil in one kidney after a surgery, every x-ray I get has the coil in it.
thats how I know it isnt someone elses.


One question I would like to ask is "Why do people have so much free time on their hands to come up with threads like this?"

Okay, thank you.
These are questions I've been thinking about for over 27 years and finally wanted to ask. I've had a decent amount of time since 1998 to come up with 5 questions.

It was a cheap, old rickety treadmill that I'm sure bothered his neighbors.
