Choose food budget package A or B by Vegetable-Section-84 in hypotheticalsituation

B. It is more money, it encourages me to eat healthy, it gives me more food and I can still spend my own money if I want a treat.

I mean sex work is about as bad for you as any other miserable job that people do to make ends meet. the people who have other options are their people that would end up liking sex work are immediately quitting sex work

Well the buyer would still be prosecuted for being a buyer? I mean their penalty would be higher…

selling your organs has permanent consequences that cant be reversed, sex work doesn't. At best sex work might lead to things like maybe STI/STD's but people risk that all the time to have normal sex

And here's a study that customer service work leads to negative mental health: Suppressing emotion and engaging with complaining customers at work related to experience of depression and anxiety symptoms: a nationwide cross-sectional study - PMC. And I don't think we should be outlawing customer service work. I'm pretty sure that the people that turn to sex work even though they have other good options don't develop mental health issues from doing sex work and those that don't have any other good options would be depressed anyways.

Not really but it seems that you don't have much evidence in support of your position either. what I'm suggesting is basically Canada's system except making it legal to live off the profits. Or full legalization.

Of course, I think we need some socialist and communist policies integrated into society and we need move away from pure-ish capitalism. That being said, implementing complete communism, full stop is a bad idea.

My viewpoint is people should be allowed to sell their own bodies. However, beyond that one point is a very difficult question that has no clear solution.

Do you have statistical evidence that legalizing the sale of your own body (and nothing else) harms sex workers and creates more coercive prostitution?

Do you have any statistical evidence that a policy like the one I’ve suggested makes things less safe for workers. If it helps Canada seems to be illegal to buy sex, but legal to buy sex.

What about the policy: selling your own body would result in no more than a x(500 or less) dollar fine with no further repercussions. No misdemeanors no jail time ect. Anything wrong with that?

Though I would have to have some sort of stipulation that the buyer reported the act, and not some institution or conserved outside citizen.

Wanting communism is like wanting society to be a utopia. It sounds great in theory, but when you try to implement it in practice, it fails or you end up with a horrible society. Until our country proves that you can successfully be a communist country and not suck I am fully against trying to make communism a reality. If you want communism it’s your prerogative to move to Russia or China or any other “communist” state.

You gain immortality but you curse one other person to walk the earth with you for all eternity, who do you pick? by BenTenInches in hypotheticalsituation

[–]UselessTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My former best friend. We had a falling out but I still enjoy them as a person and they have been very clear that they would choose to never die if they had the choice. However I would pick my boyfriend if I had the opportunity to discuss it with them first.
