Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I have never heard of anyone who becomes a prostitute just to avoid "getting a real job" I agree with the alerter... this is disgusting.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I rather see someone debate this idiocy so I will let it stand
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: this 'it's preferable to getting a real job and actually working for a living' identifies poster as a complete jerk
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Disgusting is too kind of a description for this post
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's an opinion. That is what discussion forums are for, not to erase every opinion we don't like, but to argue against it with facts if we have them.

Thank you.
