There are a lot of things that weren't considered offensive on the Internet 10 or 20 years ago, that are now offensive.

It shouldn't take more than a brief amount of thought to realize what imagery trading humans conjures up, and what happens next in terms of outrage and scandal and what will inevitably plague the service accordingly.

Expecting fairness in capitalism is like expecting the olympic games to feature random contestants drawn from a pool of the population at large.


There are winners who go on to the next level

And there are losers who drop out

Takes money to make money
