Though it is never certain as to what a person will do as he enters adulthood. Though I appreciate your sentiment and I have given it a lot of thought. Before and after its saying.
However it's really hard to change this up much:
"Everything is permissable but not everything is beneficial."
"Everything is permissable but not everything is constructive."
"Do nothing that would cause another to sin."
Though you are right it is possible for that to change. I guess we'll just have to see how that plays out. |
A little hard to understand your grammar...
But I do agree with each of your quotes, just undestand that what I'm saying is the definitions of "constructive" and "benificial" are different from person to person and from day to day.

I respect that. I would be lieing if I told you I understood everything about what is and isn't beneficial and constructive. Much less in concern to others. Thank you for your clear minded responses. (Not that others gave responses that were made with unclear minds, I mean in general.)

People really do abandon intelligence and reason on the internet far too often.

| In my mind, prostitution would be wholly permissible so long as the prostitutes worked a wobbly shop model with no pimps. I don't think there's anything ethically wrong with paying someone for sex, so long as they were willingly offering the service. |

Unfortunately, this leads to one of the biggest catch 22's in modern society.
a)Lots of parents don't want their children exposed to the dirty outside world and topics like teen pregnancy and prostitution.
b)Not only does this make them want to experiment when they get older, but...
c)It also fails to provide them with the knowledge of what to do and what not to do.
For instance, if a girl wants to be a pornstar or a prostitute, they'd better know the ground rules before they start, what they're dealing with. STD's, pregnancy, rape, general misogyny are all part of the bag. Personally, I think if you grow up in any major city and don't know about the perils of such things, you're either really sheltered or totally retarded. But for the girls whose parents MUST inform them about these things because no other source will, something has to change.
I thought of this last night and I wanted to let it out here.

yeah, I mean, it's like one of the ultimate forms of giving up.

I was unaware that prostitution was now an "industry". Whether or not prostitution is cruel and exploitive really depends from situation to situation. A prostitute working for a pimp is surely being exploited, and probably the victim of cruelty. But what about upscale call-girls? A prostitute is a prostitute, regardless of how expensive her rates are and how exclusive her clientele is. Assuming that all prostitutes are doing so against their wills is to assume that these women lack minds of their own.
It is also impossible to lay down a universal morality. Prostitution is only "wrong" if you view loveless sex as wrong, plain and simple. |

Never.
To me, intimacy would be a key part.
Sex with a stranger, even if it's her job, would be too fucking akward.

A woman may be selling her self out of necessity or for a little extra pocket change. But both of them are motivated by the same resource to sell sex, money. People will do degrading things just for money. They wouldn't be giving it away for free. And in Kolkata, where there are 200 or so woman literally lined up on both sides of the street, it doesn't seem that much different than a factory farm. |

You missed the point, Zaq. Who says that prostitution is always degrading? And who says that doing things just for money (degrading or no) is wrong? As a college graduate, I worked a job where it was my job to clean up human waste... let me tell you, I felt degraded, and I was only doing it because I had to pay my rent and eat. BUT does that mean that my job was immoral and depraved?
And the idea that a girl on the streets in a city is no defferent from a group farm is preposterous, despite the fact that there's nothing wrong with working on a farm. The fact that third-world laborers are poorly treated is a social, political, and economic problem and has nothing to do with whether or not prostitution is wrong.
