RE: Defining a whore- And defining yourself.

in #blog7 years ago

"Whoring" isn't morally outrageous, it's a fact of life. Every being exchanges resources for a better life. Thus exchanging money for sex is also fine, in my books. Why some countries outlaw it, I don't know. I agree it shouldn't be encouraged, but it shouldn't be illegal either. In fact, making it legal would benefit all. Regulations would exist for health safety, governments would get taxes, "whores" get to make a living and clients get their desired product.

Agree with all your points.
Except the regulations.
Government deserve nothing from anybody's sweat, no matter how it's earned.

I disagree. Anarchy is an utopia. You need laws and regulation to not devolve into feudalism. So, humans created governments. We can argue how much regulations, because I oppose the level it has risen in this day and age, but eliminating it completely is stupid.

I wasn't arguing about eliminating anything - I said the government doesn't deserve anything from our labors. Very different.
(transaction tax on finance, as a 'off the top my head' example)

You say you're not arguing for eliminating anything, yet you argue for eliminating all taxes. How do you expect a government to function and uphold law? So yes, they do deserve taxes, because they're providing services to all. We can argue about the level of taxation, a point that most likely I'll agree, as I do think governments have become too big these days.

taxes were never a 'thing' until recently in society, you do know that right?
We are getting off topic slightly -

State and federal inheritance taxes began after 1900, while the states (but not the federal government) began collecting sales taxes in the 1930s. The United States imposed income taxes briefly during the Civil War and the 1890s. In 1913, (wiki)

Are you kidding me? There were always taxes, but before there was no law to govern them. The people with the bigger sticks just took what they wanted.
