It seems absolutely ridiculous to me that individuals are being forced to work in the sex industry against their wills. Does anyone else see the strong parallels to government sponsored rape, all for the sake of policy? The mere fact that limp-wristed lamentations of "It would be too hard..." are being put ahead of human life is bordering on disgusting.

Don't get me wrong, it's a dicey quagmire of what jobs are okay to force people to work in, and which ones aren't, if they have been on unemployment benefits for too long. I don't necessarily believe that prostitution is immoral either, but that doesn't give a government the right to exploit that person if they have honest moral convictions against it. To paint everything in a society with only two brushes and ignore the vast middleground that exists is myopic and irresponsible.

Side note: What is so difficult with forcing brothels to be registered nationally? Then, if your boss at a non-brothel bar (for example) says "have sex for money, or you're fired" you can then take take legal action against said boss. Obviously I'm oversimplifying here, but the basic idea seems plausible at least.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
