Vote: is prostitution acceptable or unacceptable?

I don't need a book to tell me what's right or wrong, I know for myself.

Example;

A human eating a human for fun is wrong

A human killing and eating a human to survive and feed the family is right.

---------------

A human killing a human for fun is wrong

A human killing an ignorant human for a better society is justifiable.
--------------

There is nothing wrong about this philosophy, if there is, tell me what is wrong in killing ignorant people for a better society or killing and eating another human to feed yourself and your family?

Ignorant people are those who voted a yes for prostitution in this poll.... If prostitution is exploitive why vote for a Yes?

Half of the people who voted a 'no' in this poll don't actually want to ban prostitution because they know it might not solve the issue and cause more complications, but at least those people still voted a "no" because they're honourable and understand how corrupt and immoral prostitution is.

 

Most businesses get very ugly. It's the nature of greed. Why single this one out when in its best iteration it is a simple entrepreneurial enterprise.

 

So you find Solomon to be the height of human depravity, with his hundreds of concubines on call? Well, maybe you are right.

 

Drugs are a choice as well. Being poor might mean you would take a wide aray of jobs that may not be very appeasing to other people, (notice wide aray, a person could also always choose to take another job instead of prostitution as we are not discussing forced prostitution). Of course there are also prostitute that do not fall into any of those categories. Some make a very good living and currently do not have to pay any taxes on that income either.

As far as being abused, treated like rubbish, and exploited those are thing legalization could help eliminate. Local Hookers 654 unite!

You have an articulate anus? You could probably specialize in the field of discussion yourself and do quite well. I certainly would pay to see.

 

All you will do is cause a terrific spike in condom sales through the use of barbaric methods of a homicidal zealot.

By the way, before abortion was made legal and safe, sticking things into the vagina was common and caused many deaths and injuries. You won't stop it, you'll just make it treacherous. Of course, that might be satisfying enough for someone who has sociopathic tendencies.

 

Anyone who is forced to sell him/herself to get food is a prostitute, obviously. Some do it well and get to exploit others. They are pimps, like those who defend the system. Like all the bully-boys you like to pretent those you make rubbish of are 'free' to do otherwise. That, kid, is disgusting. Nobody can live in this piggery without drugs, though the pimps use religion for theirs. Repent.

 

Good point but are people really that desperate to pay for a prostitute and a condom when they could be looking for a real woman? Would you pay for a condom and a prostitute during a time where AIDS is high, would you even take the risk? What if the condom fails!?

What you're suggesting is also the same to a man running through a minefield. There is an unpredictable probability that someone will hit a mine and die from injuries, the same way there is an unpredictable but present probability that someone's condom could fail and therefore catch AIDS.

You will prevent it in civilised places with suitable and advanced medical equipment and technology but most importantly you will stop abortion and prostitution not by legislations, laws or technology but by the enlightenment and awareness of people. Morally superior enlightened people will know prostitution for what it is, exploitive, primitive and treacherous and therefore will not practice it.

You guys are right, why should we ban prostitution lol? A good society doesn't need to ban anything that doesn't exist for them.

But with people like you in power it's a different story because you yes voters ARE NOT enlightened people, but selfish individualists.

 

In that case I have been a prostitute since I was 17, as I have been footing the bill for myself since then and I have had to work to do it. I don't think being a prostitute or a porn actor/ actress is a very smart career choice, but I also do not feel I have the authority to make other adult's choices for them when they are harming no one but themselves, I am sure some of them are happy and enjoy it. Who am I to judge.

Also you are describing street hookers, or hookers on the low end of the pay scale. Some prostitutes make more in one year than I do in five. Still do not agree with it being a healthy career choice but I sure as hell don't feel bad for them or the need to save them.

 

What do you expect from humans, we live in a world where football players and now according to you prostitutes, get paid more than most scientists, teachers, engineers or doctors, how pathetic.

 

I don't see it that way.

Prostitutes are targets for abuse. Moreso than say an administrative type person, or any mainstream kind of job. The threat of being bashed, raped, killed is real, and the odds are higher for prostitutes. The really sad thing is that when a prostitute is murdered, media / and the general public barely notice or care. In Sydney there was a case of a 17 year old prostitute in Kings Cross who was murdered and stuffed up behind an abandoned refrigerator in a laneway. It was a very small article towards the back of the newspaper. That made me cry.

Self-esteem is another issue. Exploitation another. Having to deal with ugly fat repulsive characterless pig-like men one more. Seems nobody wants their mothers, daughters, neices or loved one's doing it, but fine for all those other women. I don't make that comparison. If I didn't want it for my loved one's, I still wouldn't want it for any other woman.

But I am not pushing here. Or ramming my opinion. Just in case anyone wants to get uppity with me. I am not invested.

Prostitution services men. In most cases. Of course these fella's like prostitution.

Souless exercise. But don't jump on me. That's my opinion. I won't argue on this. It just makes me sad.

 

I agree with you on that, it is pathetic. What you can expect from most humans is stupidity, brutality, blatant hypocrisy, and need for moral superiority over others. Good sane people have been outnumbered from the beginning.

 

Better that than being subjects to a homicidal maniac. Lesser of two evils.

 

Perhaps they are better at it than you?

 

I lack an articulate anus

 

An articulate anus would be something I'd gladly pay money to see.

 

You had me fooled.

 

Well, I guess resorting to moral relativism is OK then? Prostitution - supported by modern human slavery, is OK because it happened in the Old Testament? Well, since its not so bad, go ahead and do it ...

Go ahead and turn yourself into a nice human smuggler, where you can be prettied up after being addicted to drugs to control you, and then sold off to the highest bidder who will commit all kinds of depraved acts on you, essentially being raped repeatedly, while some pimp or handler beats you (but only where the bruises won't show when you are bent over ... just being an entrepreneur) and gives you just enough to survive on. Cause that is clealy what Solomon was doing ...

And people wonder why I disagree with atheists who will apparently rationalize anything. The above behavior now is just fine and dandy - as long as its happening to someone else? Or is it that you are the one raping the human slave that makes is acceptable behavior and practices?

 

There's an interesting thing happening in Thailand for the last 12 months or so. School girls prostituting themselves not because of poverty or drug use, but because of consumerism. 15 to 18 year olds prostituting themselves so they can buy the finer things in life,, clothes, makeup, laptops, iPhones and things like this. Most of these girls come from middle class families

Many don't go the whole hog but will charge 300 to 1000 (10 to 30 dollars) Baht for a blow job. This made for some interesting reading in the Bangkok Post.

 

And this is acceptable?

 

Did I say it was?

 

Did I say you did? Or did I ask a question?

You did not provide an answer.

 

No,,, I don't find this acceptable. It's plainly wrong.

But, women (and men) prostitute themselves for varied reasons. The main reason is poverty.Simply feeding and putting a roof over their heads and their children.

 

There are many impoverished people who ... put a roof over their heads, and their families, without resorting to prostitution. Now, tell me, how do you know the girl is 'just improverished' or the victim of human trafficing and enslaved against her will? You don't do you?

So is it poverty that drives prostitution? Or greed? Greed that allows some to capture and enslave the innocent to feed the desire of the deliberately blind? Its poverty coupled with the no one cares mentality that leads to so many being brutalized in the first place.

Seriously, if it were your wife or daughter, and she 'just needed more money' would you still be saying the practice was acceptable? Would that be a good enough reason to prostitute your own daughter? But its OK with someone else's daughter? Son?

I don't get that at all.

BTW - I don't blame the workers, I blame their customers.

 

I am paying a professional sex worker to do what she does best and since you don't seem to have an idea professionals are light years ahead from amateurs performance wise .
When you hire an electrician to fix your electric installation do you treat him like a piece of plastic? do you abuse and exploit him? is he your human slave? i guess no , well it is the same thing with sex workers .
Another mistake you do is that you think people are forced into this , most are not it is just a choice . Brothels are legal business girls/boys get their physical once a month they have socialised security and they give you a receipt .

My little advise is that whatever you assume is wrong and you should stop talking about things you don't know, your opinion is not reality so STOP HAVING ONE.

It was an employment decision , i didn't want to work 8 hours for a pittance .
There are no slave girls , they have professional licences , there are no pimps , stop having this idea of a street hooker from the 3rd world you will be surprised with the cars those girls drive. Most of them are very professional and because there are rating/critique sites they are always asking to write them a good review .

HAHA you mentioned the wrong desperation here , they are consumerist mad they want the best house, the best cars , the best dresses and vacations in exotic islands .

The only reason is that religious zealots think of sex as something extraordinary (it is not) and amateur women can not stand the competition . I

 

Prostitution is or should be legally acceptable, but is morally dispicable. For a more comprehensive definition of the word 'dispicable' as it relates to morals, I suggest you contact your closest liberal.
