    1. this one did not tell anyone to f*** off yet. definitely not as gutsy or as smart as his daddy and that is just sad.

    1. but very apropos. no one volunteers but when forced by others or just plain circumstance i am sure it is work. and very hard work at that. to bad YOU think it is boring but maybe that says more about you than about the discussion. question period has never been porn.

  1. Yet another shameful excuse for a conservative! Back pedalling losers trying to look edgy. 🤦‍♂️

  2. She says “sex work” is legit, then they get mad when asked if she ever considered “sex work” personally? Sounds like they don’t believe their own rhetoric to me.

    1. Thats exactly what I said above. Thanks, your response makes me realize I wasn’t way out in left field.

    2. Amsterdam seems quite fine calling it work, and Amsterdam isn’t falling apart. U just exposed your lack of knowledge & your character.

  3. Complete tripe to state ALL sex workers are “trafficked into it”. Many choose it independently of their own volition, some out of greed or laziness, or an inability to find/maintain a regular job. Read “The Happy Hooker”!

  4. His comments to her were perfectly reasonable. In order to formulate a question. One must consider the question from all aspects of it.

    If not the question then is simply relegated to a meaninglessness point of contention.

    1. Shes talking about helping protect those that go into that business. Her choices have no relevance to the discussion. For example when debating safe injection sites, asking if they would have debated on using drugs is the same thing. It’s off topic and was set as a personal attack

  5. He’s 100% right, if it’s so legitimate to you, and it pays well, then why have you never considered it? That’s because it’s not actually “real work” it’s getting paid to let men plow you, and most of it is tied to human trafficking. Stop normalizing sex work, just because it’s 2020 doesn’t mean everyone should throw away their morals and be okay with those sorts of things.

    1. Well your way of criminalizing it works so well🙄, maybe we increase the penalty for traffickers & pimps the ones causing it. But that is prob just too simple for u😉

    2. What’s the problem with having legalized sex work. Helps protect those that decide to go into the business.

  6. There’s no such thing as sex “work”. It’s not work, it’s prostitution. Just like there’s no such thing as robbery “work”.

    1. and u say u live in a free country where a gov has the right to tell a person what to do with their own body? The laws in their current format are the reason it is dangerous. Have u ever been to Amsterdam? Guessing not, by your comment.

    2. Jonathan Edward What does giving an opinion on something has something to do with “having been to Amsterdam”? I know it’s legal there? So? Does it mean it’s right? Own body or not it still doesn’t refute my point which is that it’s not considered “work” being fucked by men.

  7. A harlot’s feet go down into death, and her wandering and unaccountable steps go in as far as hell. A harlot’s house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
