Of all the honorable things for a woman to make a living in this world like a teacher, doctor, nurse, or even a waitress, a prostitute is definitely at the bottom of our culture and society. This also applies to men. I believe in moral relativism but men and women in these positions are usually not in a good place. I feel it should be legal though because the corporate government has no right to tell us how to live, or destroy our lives.
Way to throw the blanket of judgement over people you've never met. The girls I met at the redlight weren't from "hillbilly families" (I suppose that's a dig where you're from?), they didn't seem to have low self esteem, and they certainly weren't vain or shallow. Prostitution has not always had such a bad rap, and in some cultures it still doesn't. You can live or destroy your life as a nurse, a teacher, a doctor, or a waitress. It very much seems to me like people are making value judgements upon what they assume to be the universal lot of prostitutes in life, those bad things they assume must flow from the job. Pimps are bad, agreed, drugs are bad, agreed, stds are bad agreed...but what, precisely, is wrong with the act itself? I can chalk all of this down to our cultural heritage, but help me lay the blame on selling sex?
Maybe, just maybe, if you tell people how bad their lot in life is, how terrible their chosen profession is, and if you tell them often enough, they might just start believing you? What is it that you do that commands so much more honor or respect than what a prostitute does, and why?
(I'm sure it was a great experience for her as well, having some asshat dump his condescending load all over her
:thrust: :thrust: :thrust: "I feel sorry for you" :thrust: :thrust: :thrust:. Not sorry enough to have avoided her services though eh? I say this a clear winner for our "worst things to say during sex" thread)
