The amusing thing here is that the lady...if she takes the job...can under-report all of her income...accept the cash...deposit it into foreign accounts...and retire within 10 years. Having lived in Germany for 12 years now...I've seen the documentaries that talk about this. Most hookers aren't that smart and get stuck into pimp relationships that cause the money to disappear. But there are those few women, who pull in $100k a year, never report more than $30k to the government...and invest the rest wisely.
Just one question.
Who do you think is paying for prostitutes?
The hypocrisy of our prostitution laws make me sick. If you want to be soooo "moral"..tell me why the women are only arrested? Sure, a very few men are busted for "soliciting"...but sure not enough to stop prostitution. I agree this is a stupid policy they have in Germany, if that is the case. But legalized prostitution cuts down on crime, disease, etc. And why is Reno making so much money on this? Let's just quit the 'morality" punishment. If there is a crime ( robbery,assault, etc) committed, arrest the person. If you really want to be non-hypocritical then arrest ALL the customers too, the judges, attorneys, suburban married guys.
Yes I've notice pretty much the same thing. That's why it's so disturbing to see what's going on over there.
A very good point.
If Society accepts prostitution, we will create more prostitutes.
More prostitutes means more disease spread.
That is a CLEVER play on words.
Who does not whore, shall not eat.
Well, the statistics don't prove that out in Nevada.
Dear Mr.*********
Please find enclosed a leather outfit suitable for your new position at The Blue Oyster Club. I would like to point out that while you are working for the minimum wage, it is your responsibility to report all tips and gratuities to the IRS.
Yours faithfully,
The government.
This is too funny. Who wants to visit a government-sponsored hooker? Germany would do well to promote basic man-woman relationships instead of getting sticky about this sort of thing.
But ... but ... but I thought working as a prostitute was supposed to show how *liberated* women had become, and how much *freedom* they had. Oh well.
Make it legal in NY then and see what happens.
The missing link is the benefits. They equate cutting unemployment benefits to coercion to take the unwanted position (no pun intended). If they had any gumption they would get off the couch and find something to do useful to society, and the compensation would follow. That's the natural order of things - not waiting for a government check.
I live to receive this letter.
And my point was, not ALL or even a majority of women support the feminist philosophy, so reveling in the degrading of those of the female sex is very disturbing to me.
________________________________________
I beg to differ on the point of support for this feminist philosophy!! I am old enough to remember the beginnings of this Movement!! I agree that the pendulum is swinging back, but that depends on the moment.
My father always taught me to respect my Mother and other women, especially the elderly women, and to care for them! When the MOVEWMENT surged up, it was like a Tsunami!
The ladies demanded Equality and in doing so gave up a great deal of respect that the men have always had for them! Behind every successfull man there is a strong women, remember that? We never wanted to be successfull without you! You were the reason WHY we strived for the success! A Strong and Powerful Man, bends his knee and ASKS for a women's hand, no small thing to commit to is it, for either party.
My response to your Query is: Give me Liberty or Give me Death. Unlike some, I am willing to pay the wages of freedom.
That's the primary reason I doubt I'll ever get married. I don't particularly like the 50/50 oddds of loosing all my stuff. That, and there's this quote from "Old School": "Well, let me be the first to say congratulations to you man; you have one vagina for the rest of your life. Real smart man."
Nope.
It's already there
Thank you for an intelligent and informed post.
I want my tax dollars to go to police for better salaries, training, education so that they can protect me from terrorists, killers, rapists, and those who want to take my private property (legally or illegally). Legalize prostitution and focus on REAL problems...like assault and illegal aiens.
