Great. Very constructive.
At this point all I can say is that we disagree on this one.
Free will is as made up as god (do not read religion or supreme being) and is often used in a way to declare an action as conscious. Free will is just a big fat whale…

well there forked the road my friend

A study has found that half of 22 women working as prostitutes in the Dublin area reported being sexually abused as children.

The women, who were aged between 17 and 26 and interviewed mostly in Mountjoy Prison, had also experienced high levels of physical abuse, homelessness and drug addiction.

The findings of the study, A Qualitative Account of 22 Young Women’s Involvement in Prostitution, which was conducted by Siobhán Quinlan, formerly of the DIT’s School of Social Sciences and Legal Studies and now a lecturer at Blanchardstown Institute of Technology, are due to be published shortly.

It found that 11 of the 22 women were under 18 when they became involved in prostitution. Most were introduced to prostitution through friends, whereas others became involved on their own or through a family member.

One woman interviewed as part of the study said: "My innocence was stolen from me years ago, so selling it then was no big deal. It was just another job."

The dangers of prostitution were also highlighted. Seventeen of the 22 women reported being attacked in the last year, while 12 reported being raped at least once. Twenty of the women said they had contemplated suicide, while 15 said they had attempted to take their own life at least once.

Twenty-one of the 22 women were addicted to heroin, and one reported being an alcoholic. The findings of the report were publicised at a conference on young people and crime organised by the DIT...

Here you have your free will.
"Please dad... Can you just F**K me so i can become a prostitute and addict..."

Your right. They probably been raised by highly educated and happy people in a great and happy neighborhood.

On a general note, I am under the impression that the sex workers in Amsterdam's red-light district and the likes seem more healthy than those on the streets of Rome, Paris or New York.

Impression? You know the culture well or what?

 

[Martin]

That must be it then.

I've no idea how the system works in Belgium tbh. Considering it's supposed to be the same as in Holland, I'd guess the prostitutes should be more protected than elsewhere. But then again Im no expert : maybe Erik knows this stuff.

We're talking Brussels here.

As for the action in Paris, you should try Bois de Bologne

I've just seen it once at night through the window of a car. It's one of the main streets so we were heading for the camping, but it was an interesting place, hadn't seen a street like that before. Must have been 10 years ago, haven't been there since.

Do you know how many women come into hospitals every week, claiming to have been raped? Often, they claim to have been drugged, but test show nothing but alcohol in their bloodstream. That kind of accusation can ruin a man's life. Not that Id' do either, but I'd sooner pay someone.

Yeah, but there is a line between actually being raped and being drunk, but having consentual sex then later regretting it. I know a girl that was drunk and had sex (she wanted to) then the next day she regretted it and thought she was pregnant so she told everyone including her mom that she got raped. The guy she had sex with got in huge problems and she had to admit she was lying

The Dutch system sees them get blood tests either daily or weekly (I don't recall which).

That is because in the Netherlands its legal. But for example, I was in Thailand a month ago and there prostitutes are popular because theyre cheap. I read in the guide book that you should be careful with them because most of them have diseases. I doubt theyre checked for diseases because its not even legal there. Same in Cuba, prostitution is like the number one career there. Its also illegal, and the girls are full of diseases. They arent checked either

Exactly. Doesn't seem like a good argument against making it legal though.
