1) Do you think there would be less illegal labor practices if there weren't labor laws in place and an enforcement mechanism? 2) I'm not arguing for allowing underage sex workers. However, age of consent is very much a cultural i

Am I missing something? Everyone of those links is about someone being caught and punished for breaking labor laws. Yes it still happens, but when it happens there's a mechanism to punish the perpetrators and help the victims (In most

I'll admit I don't know much (anything) about labor laws in Sweden. From what I've read legal migrant workers are afforded access to the welfare state and rights such as collective bargaining. Which is awesome, but what'

Yes? Is the idea that poverty and sex work are linked contentious? Seems like a case of direct causation to me. http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/kenya_46571.html http://www.iasociety.org/Abstracts&#x

And what's the legality of employing migrant workers?

by quinnchr 13y ago
Probably because they have a strong safety net and there's not enough Dutch men and women willing to engage in sex work to meet demand. I would also imagine the demand is much higher since it is illegal in surrounding areas and most of

Legalize and regulate prostitution, boom you've eliminated the market for sex slavery, and maybe you can provide a safe work environment for men and women who are going to be sex workers regardless of legality.

Welp, congratulations! If you fail to see the misogyny in that blog post that means you're another venerable member of the PUA community who is proud of its misogyny.

Right, and simply stating that taxes constitute theft isn't an argument either. What exactly is your argument? Because so far all I've gleaned is "waaaaah taxes." And supposing I accept the fact that taxes are theft. If

Yes you are correct when the U.S. was founded it had almost no regulations, no taxes (aside from tariffs), and federalism hadn't quite been worked out yet so the U.S. government was as small as it could have been. I would argue that th

Cuba has a longer life expectancy, lower infant mortality, and more gender equality than the US. It also has a much better educational system. So yes, I would actually love to live in Cuba, so I will take you up on your offer to buy me a ti

That's a pretty unique definition of solipsism. As far as I'm aware a solipsist believes he can't know if reality exists outside his own mind. But we've strayed pretty far from my original point, which was that you can&#

No? How does him being unsure that reality exists outside his own mind mean he believes he's the sole exception? I mean if you're unsure there is a reality outside of your own mind, wouldn't that make you more risk adverse? Y

I never once mentioned, or alluded to the transfer of money being the transfer of wealth, so if you'd like to try reading my comment again with that in mind... Also notice the part where I explicitly mentioned that if the money earned

You're still saying it's the early adopters responsibility to determine the safety of the product, which seems fairly ludicrous to me...

I agree, I'm really just arguing technicalities here. The majority of your labor went into acquiring the knowledge, not writing the code in that directory. But that directory still holds value, however minuscule it may be, and it is st

So you're saying it's the early adopters who hold the responsibility for ensuring the product is safe? They should possibly risk their lives so they can give reviews to future potential customers so that they can make an informed

by quinnchr 13y ago
Well, you could argue the labor theory of value, and since that directory consumed your labor it theoretically has value. Does it have value to anyone but you? Probably not.

And a much larger percentage of that wealth was transferred to the engineers who worked on that project in exchange for their labor. The rocket itself represents a tiny percentage of the overall wealth transfer. So the majority of wealth wa

I'm not sure how to answer that. What is the purpose of determining which one is more likely? I don't think that's a question that's possible to answer nor one that reveals anything about the nature of existence.

Ummm... what? All solipsism says is that you can't be sure reality exists outside of your own mind. You can question whether or not you would be dead outside of your own experience, but you'd still be dead in your internal world.
