ctually, the civilized world is where disputes are resolved by civil actions instead of phyiscal altercations or extra-legal means(thus the quantity of law suits). The /shudder at the idea of the Hooters girls being transexuals was just me. Sorry if that offends you

Well, I think it's not a debate any more. Prostitution and sex services are collapsing due to the recession - unless Hooters wants to just employ exclusively eastern european women, they just can't compete. You can get a woman to grow the **** food for you, feed it to you with her naked body and marry you with a firm pre-nuptial agreement sending her back to hungary if you get bored - for less than the price of a plate of chips at Hooters. They won't survive the recession. Unless they go for the gay niche, of course - then maybe they can survive on the grounds that a gay hooters would still have a viable market even in a recession (needs must).
