> rather taking banker money is like being a whore
What if you're a barber who cuts a banker's hair, is that "like being a whore?" What if you sell software to a banker, or you're a nanny for the children of a banker? Also: do you have any respect for actual women who engage in prostitution?
- ucee054 14y agoFurther: do you have any respect for actual women who engage in prostitution? No. Ditto for drug dealers.
- antiterra 14y agoAnd what exactly is the connection between those two? There are legal avenues for both.
- mikegioia 14y agoI can understand having little respect for drug dealers as they can negatively affect communities. But how on earth can you justify blanket-ly having no respect for the women themselves that engage in prostitution?
- ucee054 14y agoAre you under the delusion that prostitution doesn't negatively affect communities?
- mikegioia 14y agoWell "illegal prostitution" certainly brings about things that negatively affect communities, but that's not the point I was making, nor the question I was asking you. You said you have no respect for the WOMEN who engage in prostitution. Why? My point about drug dealers is that I can see having no respect for the person that deals drugs as they themselves produce harm (they could sell to kids).
