If they are only do it to get paid but would rather be doing something else.... IMO its not 100% consent. Like the guy flipping burgers for minimum wage, they are doing it because they have to make a living and pay bills(which takes some choice away) and may rather not be there.
So you agree that prostitution is not unique in this regard?
unique in what regard?
What we just ****ing discussed 5 seconds ago.
When you put "unique" you need to clarify what you think is/isn't unique.
The city is still responsible for the shutdown,
Hah!
It is when using 20 mil poly sheet with Gorilla tape.
I've read a lot of what sex workers have to say on the matter and this seems really belittling and patronising. It is possible to exploit people financially, but suggesting to people they aren't capable of making informed decisions regarding the use of their own time and body is absurd.
Humans are more than just "dumb" (meaning ethically, spiritually, and cognitively unenlightened) animals. Or at least we are hopefully trying to be. Because if we are not, then our whole purpose for being here is wasted. And there is nothing about prostitution that serves the call of humanism. In fact, just the opposite. It serves the call of greed, and selfishness, and animal desire. The very attributes that as human beings we should be trying to rise above.
It applies to the way we humans treat each other. Money does not buy anyone the right to exploit and abuse people. In this instance it is already illegal, and it should remain illegal. In the next instance we will have to fight for change. But for God's sake let's at least stop pretending all this human exploitation and abuse by other humans as "freedom". Or is desirable.
It applies to all forms of gross exploitation and the abuse of humans by humans.
If providing goods or services in exchange for pay is exploitive, what's the alternative? Should people perform their own medical procedures to avoid exploiting doctors?
Sounds a little “killing fields”-esque. I think I would prefer diplomacy, education, outreach, and advocacy.
Already addressed. Try to stay interesting.
Don’t mistake autocorrect for ignorance.
That doesn’t sound like garbage bags, But that you knew how to handle the concern and chose to use some cheap trash bags instead just goes to show how some landlords will cut corners to save a penny, even when the health of their tenants is at risk.
**** no it shouldn't be legal. Here is why: Because we are not always going to be a nice country that is nice to prostitutes, and slavery is not always going to be illegal. There are not 'Good' countries in the long run. Every country (so far) has gone rotten.
Good.
Some are worse. After a transaction with a prostitute at least one person is happy.
Nymphos exist too.
I guess we are if your wit has expired.
But you are still negating the rights of individuals to do what they want with their bodies and simply because of some moral belief or system of beliefs. How can you justify this? The fact is that there are many things we might not like that people do but such are allowed in any liberal democracies because the alternatives probably lead to a worse society. For all that I don't like prostitution either, I would allow people to do such - as consenting adults - regardless of my morals and what I would want to see, but of course trying all the time to eliminate exploitation. And I suspect that the latter is more easily done if prostitution is legalised.
