Johns don't passively sit in coffee shops or stand in line at Best Buy while beset by offers of sex for money. They roll up on girls and women walking down the street in an attempt to purchase sex.

The number of "I don't get it." comments on this thread should be a lesson for everyone. THIS is the reason diversity in your company and social circle is important. A forum full of men not understanding how a $3.8 billion

Does this mean group messaging is available? I've missed out on a few events due to not receiving a group text to my google voice number. Is there a service that can replace google voice?
