johnnieconnie: feckingmorons: It does need to be rephrased. If they hired more women they could hire fewer hookers.

Came here to say this, or more English majors.

Well hooking is all an English major qualifies you for.

snocone: This cry for "Moar Wimens" is just about the most bald faced, blatant sexist crap I have heard since Rush Limbaugh shot his feet.

Why nobody calling THEM on it?

Okay, fine.

liam76: quatchi: Hiring more women who are qualified for the job is neither revenge nor "trying to take it in the extreme in the opposite direction". It's simply addressing an imbalance. It's identifying and fixing a problem. It is, in fact, not "using race or gender as a basis for hiring" in the sense that it is not giving preference to male applicants. I'm not saying 50-50 is the ideal or should be stated goal here merely that having more women in the SS ( they do have some now, ya know) would do more to help break up the current boy's club culture that's led to this scandal. It's that simple. Speaking of simple...

You shouldn't be hiring "more women who are qualified". You should be hiring the most qualified who apply.

That's probably been the rationale to date and quite frankly the results sucked.

You're just trying to rationalize your sexism.

Headline reminds me of:




Man, that was short-lived program...

quatchi: Corvus: quatchi: To be perfectly honest I don't give a flying f*ck if these guys do fark professionals while off duty in far off lands unless there is some kind of security breach/honey trap thing going on.

How the fark would they know? You think after they have sex the hand out the agents "This will/will not be used for black mail in the future" documents.

You never know if it would be used for blackmail that's why you are not allowed to do it.

They have a morality clause built into their contracts specifically citing "No Nookie"?

You got a link to that? Curious now.

Probably not "No Nookie." More like, "No Nookie with A Prostitute the Night Before the President Arrives, But If You Do, At Least Have the Sense to Pay Her So She Doesn't Throw A Justified Fit and Get the Cops Involved When You're in A Country with Legalized Prostitution, Because Unlike American* Prostitutes, They CAN Get the Cops Involved."

Something like that. I'm sure they get special lectures on honey traps as well.

*Void in Nevada.

quatchi: More female SS agents?



Why the fark not?

Because they are the Secret Service not the Passive Aggressive shiat-Talking Service.

Women don't want to work as much as men do, however they do like to make less money. So there's that.

This is stupid. People should be doing their job regardless of their gender.


I'd hire a hot male prostitue.

I wouldn't dicker about the prices if I were a secrete service agent.

So what you're saying is you want to bring back camp followers.
