Value for Money: Pimps vs Realtors - Stephen Dubner

[ReX342]

More marketing. That won't ruin the last human experience we have...

[dustinrmiller]

hmmm...Realtors and pimps...never would've put those 2 together

YOU GO TO A CINEMA TO SEE A COMPLETE MOVIE.

THE PROJECTIONIST IS TRIGGER HAPPY SO HE STOPS THEMOVIES WHILE THE CREDITS ARE STILL ROLLIING. OR HE PULLS THTE CURTAINJS ACROSS, THEREBY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE SCREEN. OR HE PUTS THE LIGHTS ON WHICH MEANS EVERYONE STANDS UP TO GO HOME, BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE SCREEN.

PIMPS! PIMPS! PIMPS!

How can I sue these cinemas and bastards who robbed me in t he first place?

Hey Stephen,

You're a funny, but ignorant guy. First all professionals are not created equal as there are good pimps and bad pimps...I mean Realtors. It's a hard core fact that Sellers who sell their home themselves NET less money due to their ignorance of the entire process from marketing to negotiating to closing. I guess if someone sued you, you'd be your own attorney so you can save the money? LOL, sorry buddy, your an educated derelict.

@hampteam What?

[jvolstad]

I would trust a pimp far more then your typical Realtard.

I don't agree with his pimp analysis, it could be that the higher wages and the pimps are correlated, but that does not mean that the pimps are providing a service, it only means that that is a possibility - it could be that the pimp's prostitute is more attractive than a typical non pimp prostitute. So the the non pimp prostitute would have lower wages and work longer hours.

[jvolstad]

Pimpact? Is that a registered trademark like Realtors?

[stinkypoon]

You'll never know what a hard ass-raping feels like until you go to sell your house and these vultures get to pick away at your. I mean, they will wipe you out. It's a complete sham. Their near-cartel is not a free market system. Billions of dollars are robbed every year from people selling that have slaved to pay down their mortgages mortgages, just because some uneducated douchebags have access to a lockbox and you have to go through them. This cartel needs to die.

"Pimpact"

lol wonderful term

[fliegeroh]

Well I have bought 3 houses in my life and I always feel like I am being gang raped when I sign the papers and see all those weird fees coming out of nowhere.

Thousands of dollars -- for what?

[forwardmover]

MFA in Writing from Columbia University? Then compares realtors to prostitutes?

Totally idiotic. As a person who has sold property, trust me, a sharp EXPERIENCED realtor can help your sale to not later backfire. HOW do you put a dollar value on this.

SEEMS like another ivory tower egghead out of his element.

@forwardmover

Buy now, or you'll be priced out FOREVER!!!

[childrescuer]

You can use this theory for politicians too and social workerss who are the pimps for the judiciary, foster care, psychiatry and the prison industry. They bring in children for trafficking in this disgusting American culture that has emerged from this petri dish called socialism.

When she says "you're amazing" and doesn't mean it, she has good reason to.

What motive does a prostitute have to lie about her numbers after admitting she is a prostitute? I assume they keep their identity secret, so it's not as though she is bragging.

[didate]

The only reason pimp stats were brought up is to "sex up" the headline for this video and attract viewers, otherwise no interesting talking points were raised in this video. "You can keep 5% commission if you do the work yourself" - what else's new?

So here we are talking about pimps. It's rather pathetic.

[smsthalia]

By nature, we love everything about sex. It's fun to talk about and in this case quite interesting.

Don't be such a debbie downer, if you don't like sex then don't have any, it's ok for the rest of the human population to enjoy sex-related information.

Thumbs down for you abstinent allen!

[Shadizar666]

everything is pimps and prostitutes

you just need to use the mindset to see it for what it is

advertising agencies are all pimps

and all service agencies are prostitutes

eg. hair salons, a very real likeness, they sell "hands on make-you-feel-good-about-yours­elf" service

same with manicures and pedicures, blah blah

they're just whoring their skills to make you happy

...

and they charge about the same as actual prostitutes too

[freesk8]

And there is nothing wrong with being a pimp, and prostitution is a totally voluntary transaction, and both should be legalized.

[Shadizar666]

wasn't claiming anything otherwise

the point I was making

is that while "legitimate" whoring salons have legal houses

legitimate whores must use illegitimate houses

I mean

we spend thousands upon thousands of dollars for psychiatrists

when all we really need, is a good fuck

who the hell set up this system???

[AtheistKharm]

this is funny

[CharBroiled04]

@16242T,

I think you underestimate the power of statistics and the ability of pollgivers. Not to say you can't have a bad poll, but such things are largely accounted for in a good poll.

Just because someone is a pimp or prostitute doesn't mean that they're evil in every way and can't speak a truthful statement if their life depended on it, which is what you seem to assume.

[oayia]

good point

[Durchbrechen]

Are you a realtor ? :)

[TheGeorgeBush666]

Where da big bootay bitches at?
