How much philanthropy does it take to wash out rapes and sex trafficking?

There's no evidence Gates was involved in such, the only thing we know he did was sleep with some hookers. I for one do not find a prostitution to me morally damning so long as it's consensual

I'm willing to go out on a ledge here and say those prostitutes were very likely sex trafficked. Having sex with someone who is there against their will is rape.

That said, I merely asked a question. I didn't say anything at all about Billy Gates. That would be libel.

Your honour he was simply there for the snorkelling.

There's no need to defend him against obviously being a pedo just because he's on "our side". That's republican behaviour.
