No I'm not :umm2: I don't think it's a 'good' profession, I think it's a profession. What is and isn't a good profession isn't for me, you or anyone else to decide - there's no monopoly on what constitutes a 'good' profession, it's completely subjective.

Being a pornstar is a profession. Do I want adults to encourage minors to take it up? No, because again that's pretty disconcerting.

I used to be very 'left' about prostitution. Always said it should be legal and such. However, given 2 countries have given us examples of what happens..I am not so sure on my views now.

I am kinda preferring to go down the Swedish route than the legalize the lot that Germany has done. Given the results.

Slightly offtopic though.

Will never agree with encouraging teens to join the sex trade, in any form. I have no issues with adults chosing to do porn. I do not think it is responsible to encourage teens to do it. If they chose to, fair enough. But teachers should not be suggesting it as a career path. I can just see it now...'Mary you aren't too bright, but you have a fantastic body and have had a fair few boyfriends the past few years. How about becoming a porn star'

I wouldn't push it forward in Primary Schools, but when they've hit puperty (which is normally in Secondary School years) then I don't see why it can't start being discussed then, and I'd even warn of the dangers of being a Prostitute so that the kids know if they want to become one or not, which tbh I doubt many would unless under severe financial strain.

You honestly think Prostitution is just as bad as theft and blackmail?

Drugs again is upto the individual in my eyes on if they want to damage their own health, I don't see what it's got to do with anyone else tbh unless they're personally being effected by it?

are you aware of the abuse that goes on in the sex industry? Are you seriously saying the pushing drugs is a career that is respectable? I despair, I really do.

As soon as I knew that prostitution and drug money now contributes to GDP there would be a drive to amend popular opinion....oh, come on now it's not that bad! :/

I never said respectable, I said that if it's not effecting anyone else then it shouldn't be illegal, that is just a simple fact that everyone should agree with otherwise we hit a slippery slope where professions not "approved of" by most people would be made illegal to even discuss just because "it's not nice."

a drug pusher is affecting people though, again, I really have to ask if you are aware of what goes on in those circles, because if you are, and you still say they are doing no wrong, then I would most certainly take issue.
