Prostitution Anyone?

I watched the old movie “Taxi Driver,”, the other night. This lunatic ends up a hero in all the media, rescuing a 14 yr old prostitute and killing all the pimps. The prostitute (Jodie Foster) return home and goes back to school. Even a crazyman knew Prostitution is a degrading, terrible thing, doesn’t everyone already know that?

Except when its not.

Which is 100% never.

I’m not saying they need to be shunned and locked up. How about creating a society where no one sinks so low? Mess media these days, glorifies and exploits trashiness.

By the lack of respect supporters in this thread have shown, they do know it, but worshipping the sex god is more important.

You brought up Adam and Eve, so you don’t get to complain about how I talk about them.

I’m not complaining about you talking about Adam and Eve, I’m complaining about mixing scientific knowledge with religious mythology. They tell two different stories.

That’s your opinion and I’m not bound by the same point of view as you.

No they don’t. Check your premise.

Whatever would us poor women folk do without big strong men to look out for us and tell us what is best? Oh my…

That’s sexist. Your son or nephew could be a prostitute too.

Thanks Samm. Good on you for realizing it. I have been responding to Optrader’s comment which omitted male prostitutes. I’m sure if I look back I will see your post chastising him as well though.

Good job Samm!

Actually, I asked about male prostitutes just several posts ago…

Sure, but not in the same context you did women. You didn’t mention anything about anyone needing to give approval or have an opinion about men being prostitutes.

So would you object if your dad, brother or son wanted a side job having sex with women for $$.

No, but I did ask if men would care if their wife used a make prostitute. The same issues were implied.

There were two points I raised. First legalization and second respect of sex workers. My take away, based on the responses is that while many people want it legal, they have no respect for the (primarily) women who engage in it. The guy who asked Bernie the question, and apparently the men who responded for legalization, try and politically correct and sanitize prostitution by calling it “sex work” but the reality is most people have no use for those they deem as dirty whores.

And yet they say with a straight face that there are no victims…

Legalization would very likely lead to a change in those attitudes from the majority of people. It wouldn’t happen overnight, but it would happen.

Yes. Why are men not subject to the dangers involved?

I’m just pointing out that Optrader didn’t feel the need to mention men in his post.

It’s time to legalize and regulate prostitution. “When I get that feeling… I need… sexual healing”

And you didn’t think that just maybe, that was because the vast majority of prostitutes are women? Excluding minors, since I would hope nobody here is advocating legalizing that.

It’s not just my opinion. Even just the timeline alone tells a very different story.

Sorry, but Genesis and the anthropological record are at serious odds.

Only if you’re trying to read it as a literal work instead of the allegory it was always meant to be.

I agree, it is an allegory. That’s why the contradiction with scientific information is so considerable. And that’s why you cannot mix the two stories to make a point. It’s one or the other, not whatever parts of either whichever is best to suit your argument.

There are documents (the book of Jubilees) found with the Dead Sea scrolls, that are not in the Bible, that say that Cane married one of his sisters. It does not say what her profession may have been.

Not when the one I’m making points to refuses to see it.
