Please explain to me how being rich is any of these things.

It's not.

Don't make me invoke Godwinski's Law.

What?

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

No.

"Please explain to me how being rich is any of these things.

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.
