Yeah, morality’s a bitch, ain’t it?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone or get into a name-calling argument – this isn’t the board for that. I’ll concede the last word to whomever wants it. Just reply with “Thank You” and you’ll have it. It’s that or head for the Pit, and I have no heart for that today.

I’d actually rather continue a rational and civil discussion than take it to the Pit, myself. In that spirit, I apologize for my cheap shot.

You’ve made it pretty obvious that you think prostitution is a wrong in and of itself, even in the absence of drug addiction, violence, coercion or whatever. You also seem to chalk this up to some kind of universal ethics, as evidenced by your “morality’s a bitch” post. My questions are:

1. Do you realize that there are many people who see no inherent wrong in a woman or man exchanging sex for money?

2. Do you think those people are just flat-out wrong, and if so, why?

O.o Must be the German in me. At least once a month someone says I look like a female Hitler.

And people wonder why I don’t even try to bother with makeup.
