Perhaps more nuanced words than the already-cheapened "joy" might be helpful? I don't find "joy" in dealing with people, I don't discover them a fountain of ecstasy, I just "like it" rather a lot. Per

Fair enough, that was just my impression. But it is my impression also that most *organised groups against prostitution often seem to have religion behind them. I may well be wrong though.

The earnings for a streetwalker, who is at the bottom of the heap pretty much, is low. Some years ago I was offered sex for £15. I still feel sorry for that lonely lady who was just trying to get by best she could. I hope she's well.

It seems like a judgemental attitude induced by religion. Those most against prostitution seem to be in religious groups.

Perhaps you should look into it, try and find out a bit more from other people's experience whose parents were sex workers, before you decide. Otherwise you come across as bigoted. The saddest problem from sex work that I'm aware

Most sex workers I've come across are not drug addled nor mentally unwell. Obviously that's a tiny proportion and not enough to draw solid statistical conclusions from, but at least it's more data than you have.

I never get this argument. The syntax is important for consistency, but in another sense is trivial. It's the smallest thing about a new language that you have to learn, I don't understand why people get hung up on it.

The a typing feature[1] in the language Eiffel was based on the assumption of the author that the typing holes it apparently introduced could be statically detected. It turned out he was wrong after the language was released IIRC. I guess y

You may be a smarter person than me, but I couldn't handle it and quite possibly that was partly related to its truly appalling XML-based syntax. I'd like to point out that no other language I'm aware of is so syntacticallyvi

Each 'leaf' statement of language should have a definite and finite list of exceptions that it can throw. Each non-leaf statement is a composition of leaf statements. Therefore every exception can be determined, and that's ou

And no answer :-( It does rather defeat the point of discussion here if people say things they won't back up. I don't know if I've changed your mind, you certainly haven't given me any reason to change mine, so why post
