Who said sex was a bad thing.

You did. Remember this line –

Profiting from other people selling themselves for sex is radically different (and f’ed up).

You restricted your comments to sex. You didn’t say a word about people selling their bodies for modeling, professional sports, or acting.

We were talking about profiting off of other people having sex with people they would not choose to otherwise (usually because they are desperate). That in no way equates to your last statement and if you can not see that you are irrational (or disingenuous).

I won’t work for you unless I get paid and a hooker won’t let you screw her unless she gets paid. My agent is the one that chases after the customers to see I do get paid as well as finding work for me. That usually works out pretty well for both of us. Similar to what a pimp does.

Of course if I was being forced to work then that wouldn’t be a willing relationship.

The record label will take a large cut (pimp) the RIAA will pretend to protect the artists by threatening fans (stand-over man) and hopefully I will get off on the music (John). What you miss is that these are metaphors. In brothels people actually do get fucked (usually metaphorically as well). No it is not "any more wrong than what a "pimp" does" it is less 'wrong'.

That in no way equates to your last statement and if you can not see that you are irrational (or disingenuous). John's and pimps always think it is a good idea, prostitutes less so, but I was not debating the value of prostitution or sex. If that is not clear enough I offer these examples... (a) A person offers apples for sale and a shop attendant receives payment and passes the profit to the owner for a wage. (b) A person offers crack for sale and the street dealer receives payment and passes the profits to the drug boss for a wage. Can you take out the words that are the same and concentrate on the words that are different and evaluate whether they have equal moral equivalence? Or do you believe "do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law"? P.S. George Bush was the worst, no Barack Obama is etc. # 8 Mr. Fusion

No it is not “any more wrong than what a “pimp” does” it is less ‘wrong’.

Who said sex was a bad thing. We were talking about profiting off of other people having sex with people they would not choose to otherwise (usually because they are desperate). That in no way equates to your last statement and if you can not see that you are irrational (or disingenuous).

John’s and pimps always think it is a good idea, prostitutes less so, but I was not debating the value of prostitution or sex.

If that is not clear enough I offer these examples…

(a) A person offers apples for sale and a shop attendant receives payment and passes the profit to the owner for a wage.

(b) A person offers crack for sale and the street dealer receives payment and passes the profits to the drug boss for a wage.

Instead of everyone fucking ME, I could make money when somebody fucked somebody ELSE. It's like the time I dated a lawyer. It is so gratifying to know that at least a hundred times, I fucked a LAWYER. I wish I could do that,instead of going to work every day.
