Please explain to me how being rich is any of these things. Don't make me invoke Godwinski's Law.

It seems to me that you're saying that merely wanting sex is dehumanizing.

It's not.

What?

No.

Then what DO you mean? Minutae of phrasing?

When I said "more awesome", I meant "richer". That is also what Roko said - that money gets you girls. He didn't say that money gets you girls on the black market. Money gets you all sorts of girls - from sex slaves to true love. Not being a jerk is a separate problem.

Godwinski's Law.

The first Google result for this is the parent comment. I have no idea what you mean. From what I gather, it's supposed to be invoked when someone calls one's opponent a Communist. Did that happen?

It's a term that was proposed on TV Tropes, but I forgot that, apparently, it wasn't launched.

Is thomblake's definition correct, then?

Yep.
