BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Selling sex legally in New Zealand
How sensible, New Zealand is to be commended.
Somehow I doubt many would agree to this in either the US nor EU.
When "Sophie", a medical worker from Christchurch, fell behind on her mortgage payments last year, she found that her job was not paying enough. Her only option was a temporary career change: she became a prostitute.
Sex workers have the same rights as everyone else. In the eyes of New Zealand's law, the oldest profession is just like any other.
What is New Zealand going to do with a bunch of rich sheep?
Yes yes... because in Jerry's world, only Jerry's way is the right way. :roll:A couple thoughts:
1:
Even assuming she handled her finances correctly (being debt free except the mortgage, emergency fund which could support her for 6-12 month, taking a 15 year loan with 20% down, etc), assuming she couldn't take out a second mortgage on any existing equity, the most appropriate action here is to sell the home and rent until she gets back on her feet; not become a prostitute.
So if you skip out on your bill, will you be charged with "shoplifting" or rape? :shock:
What happens if you don't pay for services rendered in any other profession?
They sue you for the money.
I'm going out on a limb here, and guessing there will be some counter suits for the exact same reason.
No they won't. Their wives would find out if they did. :2wave:

I know that legalization of prostitution is popular among libertarian types. Unfortunately, I'd have to say that most women (or men) who enter this profession were traumatized in some way. And the resort to prostitution is simply a desperate and awful way of surviving what is already a problematic life.
In theory this may be a victimless activity. In practice, not so much.
Heh, I got news for ya: It's not my way. It's someone else's qualified and credentialed, tried and proven way, which I happen to agree with.

I've never paid for such "services", but have received some pretty shabby "service" for free on more than one occasion.

Uh huh. :roll:
So, someone else's "tried and proven way" is to sell your home instead of working a second job temporarily to get rid of some debt?
Well, that is ONE way to attempt to remedy a bad financial situation. But I really hate to tell ya.... it's not the ONLY way. A great many people work a second job.
Yes, yes... in Jerryland, of course. Where Jerry thinks he knows the mind of all the people in a profession. :roll:Most women who enter into prostitution are either duped, naive, or are already victim of other sex crimes. Those few who do not already have psychological issues will likely develop them quickly in due course of prostitution.
Does your boss own YOUR body? Do your customers own your body? Why make such blatantly erroneous statements?Welcome back to the dark ages, where owning another person’s body as a commodity is called liberty.
I saw no qualifiers.You are ignoring my qualifers....deliboratly?
My bad, I thought we were talking about the profession of prostitution.Sure, but slavery is not a job.
Of course prostitutuion should not be illegal...It must be taxed and controlled..
; the world's more modern and tolerant nations will do this, finally the more backward and conservative countries will follow suit..
This takes time....
