A man or a woman is equally respectable just as an average citizen even if he or she chooses to sell his/her body for money – as permitted by law of that society.
Most of the women most probably don’t choose to protitute as a career choice.
There is a person there who has a story. Story full of ups and downs of life just like any of us. A prostitute has a God given life, a life full of living through circumstances, a life full of chances upon its very upbringing, and a life full of very God given genetics.
Prostitution is not a question of morality for the prostitute. It’s a question of morality for the ones who pay for it.
Roman, we all have ups and downs in life. Just because life is a bitch, you dont start selling your body for money. Everyone is responsible for the choices they make. Yes, even the person who pays to have sex is responsible for his act. If they women/man chooses to sell his/her body for sex, they should be man/woman enough to face the consequences.....please dont give me another soft story how life had been so rough for these poor souls.
Speaking of which...I was at Pretty Girl a few days ago, you know that place where 12 year olds and 21 year olds with 11-ear-old bodies (i.e., no meat, no nothing) I saw a tube top (hooker uniform!) that said "My Body is a temple, But I share"
True, but God says otherwise and I follow His, not others definition of morality.
This doesn't mean I'll yell and not allow others a choice. Everyone has a right to chose and to do what is right for their lives. But my standard is in my Bible and it says that a body is a temple for God. Think of it that way and you could never prostitute it.
minha, but religion is a subjective matter. We won't get anywhere if all of us on this globe started following what his/her God says. There should be common grounds to survive, no? That's why we have a society full of differences but yet viable synergy, yeh?
Roman, do you think that breaking up of a marriage is moral? How about a child having to grow up with out his dad/mom in its life. Yes I am talkking about divorce due to hoesih acts. These acts destroy the very fibre our society is based upon, it cannot be defended with any argument.
Kaleem, you should really back you argument with the reasonable extrapolation of how many marriages break up because of sheer existence of prostitution.
Secondly, again, marriage breaking up because of it goes towards the argument I made earlier: People who pay for it. Why can't the man who pays for the prostitute stay at home and raise the kid instead?
For that we will have to ask the Judge...and they usually dont take it too kindly when ifnormed about infidelity(sp?).
Roman, you know that I dont have numbers to bakc this argument...so you got me there. Lets try this approach, will you agree to marry a known prostitute? (of course she would have left her esteemed profession...unless you are into it:))
Kaleem, no I most probably won't. But I did not raise a question of marriage here. I raised a question of legitimate respect as a profession someone chooses. Just because I do not want my wife to be a former prostitute does not mean that I should look down upon prostitutes as second grade citizens in general. That is the point.
