Kenny replied to Matthew Hawkins's discussion Is Prostitution Morally Wrong"Adding cash into the agreement isn't forcing anyone to do anything. By that logic, today I forced a deli owner to give me a sandwich when I handed him seven bucks."

Natalie replied to Matthew Hawkins's discussion Is Prostitution Morally Wrong"I think, ignoring religious connotations, there's no real way to argue prostitution is morally wrong. It's just a job, it's a job many people fall into because they may not have the financial security or need, but it's…"

Kenny replied to Matthew Hawkins's discussion Is Prostitution Morally Wrong"I'm not exactly gonna read that book, so I'll take it on good faith that prostitutes generally want to leave their jobs but don't. Personally, I've never had a job where I didn't want to just say "fuck it"…"
