Why is prostitution immoral?

[nehalem256]

Do they have 13 year old girls working there?

Why is 13 year old girls consensually engaging in prostitution something we should feel bad about?

I mean did you miss the link where 14 year olds are allowed to choose to be mothers?

Huge difference is that, you go to any corner where prostitution is being promoted and you'll find all kinds of bad stuff. Most prostitution is not done in some 5 star hotel, lol. You'll find children being put out there and stuff. Its just bad all around.

All kinds of bad stuff? Obviously children shouldn't be involved, but I can go to a major sporting event and find all kinds of bad stuff too.. should we ban sports? Your argument is ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but I refuse to let you use the government to nanny me and everyone else to death.

You can take your self-righteousness and shove it up your ass.

Not that I'm aware of.

You can make the same argument about factory work in China.

Does that make factory work in the US immoral?

I don't think it's a good idea for society to encourage (or simply be permissive towards) the exploitation of broken people.

Why does having sex for money make you a "broken person"?

Especially from a liberal perspective that says there is nothing wrong with saying having sex with a random person you just met in a bar.

Do you have any idea whether or not the person you're talking to thinks there's nothing wrong with having sex with a random person?

If not, this is a straw man.

When will you learn that all 'liberals' do not exactly fit your definition of them?

Society has no problem with one night stands and friends with benefits. These are considered a normal part of modern society.

So please explain why is suddenly becomes bad to have sex with strangers just because money changes hands?

Except you can't which is why you choose to entirely ignore the point I made.

Are you asking a question, or did you answer it yourself?

In addition, what do arguments that society at large makes have to do when questioning the logic involved in a specific post.

Edit: Society does have a problem with one night stands, depending on who you talk to, and you chose to entirely ignore that point I made.

Having sex for money doesn't make one a broken person.

Can you cite where a liberal perspective has something to do with random bar hookups? Or is this just more of your persecution complex lashing out?

Puritanical (aka conservative) sexual morality say that things like ONS or FWB are wrong. Liberal sexual morality says such things are individual choices.

Do you really not know that?

Then your statement makes no sense.

Are you unfamiliar with correlation does not equal causation?

Who said I didn't know it? I said it's a straw man to debate a position you have no idea if the person agrees with or not. You debate the position of 'liberals' as if it is a homogeneous group. It is not.

Then your statement makes no sense.

Yes it does. If I said it was wrong to force criminals to work slave labour, it does not mean I believe slave labour makes you a criminal.

I'm starting to wonder if there is a simple language barrier that's at the root of nehalem's combativeness.

I didn't say "liberals". I said from a "liberal perspective". It should have been clear that was short for a "liberal perspective on sexual morality".

So for instance someone who claims that sex outside of a committed relationships is wrong would be considered to have a conservative view on sexual morality.

someone who thinks sex with anyone you feel like it would have a liberal view on sexual morality.

This isn't exactly rocket science.

And the same principle applies.

You have no idea if jackstar7 holds the 'liberal perspective on sexual morality' as you have defined it in its entirety.

If I were forced to pick a side, I would consider you a conservative. Should I debate you on the basis that you are against abortion, and bring up the idea that you are against abortion as way of pointing out a logical contradiction in what you post?
