For instance, if you are unemployed for a year and refuse to take an available job (like being a prostitute), the government reserves the right to slash your unemployment benefits.

Seriously?

There are still cannibals in some parts of Africa and New Guinea. Thet still head hunt in parts of South America.

Ameirca is so much behind the times.

Polygamy likely will be legalized here. Once “gay marriage”’is legal it’s pretty much over.

Gays want to normalize pedophilia.

When the average American has 10.7 sexual partners over the course of his or her lifetime, it is moot to have discussions on the ethics of polygamy.

Using illegal drugs.

They use the example of Portugal, where many drugs aren’t illegal.

So how do you use illegal drugs in a jurisdiction where they are legal?

and that some French women believe that regularly drinking small amounts of alcohol wouldn't affect their babies in any way.

I believe that America's obsession with don't drink AT ALL when you're pregnant is liability driven.

If your doc says you can have a glass of wine or beer a day, which I believe would be fine, and you overdo it and then later when your baby is born with problems you can say, "Well, my doctor said I could drink."

So to protect themselves doctors veer in the direction of "no alcohol at any time while pregnant" mode to avoid a lawsuit.

I believe incest is legal in some Western European countries, Italy and France I think. The Belgians are okay with pedophilia too.

Also, in some parts of the world it’s okay to live in grass huts and eat pig $hit.

For instance in Africa, children are considered to be symbolic of wealth, so polygamy is an appealing lifestyle because of how quickly it allows families to grow.


They left out how African Moslems mutilate the genitals of baby girls with “female circumcision.”

All cultures are not of equal value.

I remember bringing up the German prostition/unemployment angle to some liberal family members last year.... they were stunned to learn that this “legal” occupation could be used to hinder unemployment benefits. (I just gave them the standard “unintended consequences” line).

Prostitution has some terrible connotations in America, but in places like Germany, it's just like any other respectable profession. For instance, if you are unemployed for a year and refuse to take an available job (like being a prostitute), the government reserves the right to slash your unemployment benefits.

IIRC, this embellishment comes from a tabloid story about a woman who refused a job as a cleaning woman for a company that also had a contract with a brothel and then had her unemployment benefits reduced. Seems people now only remember the sensationalist headline ("Woman Refuses To Work In Brothel, Has Benefits Cut")...
