Questions are bad. Don’t you know better than to ask questions! Especially, especially, if you live in Nepal.

I kinda agree with Flood. It’s one thing to do it just to do it; but when you make it such a spectacle and obviously make every effort to make sure everyone knows about it… Seems more egotistical and attention hungry to me. If she is going to draw such attention to her “deed”, my opinion is that she should attach some sort of cause to it.

Good. Don’t eat there. They torture their chickens.

oooh, very cool. I don’t see why not- Giant Squid and whales abound- and prehistoric sea creatures didn’t have the fatal human interaction some of their land cousins did- also, if it truly was a meteor that altered earths weather and killed off the land dinosaurs..would it have affected deep sea creatures? With my oh so limited knowledge of the subject- I’d be willing to say they are still around.

What a ridiculous ploy. It really doesn’t look right; with the expressionless posture and face. I wonder if they had any real expectations with this?

I would have to ask the government officials who have implimented this decision if they would be comfortable with their own wives or daughters being forced to take up jobs within the sex industry, and if not why should anyone else be forced into it either?

Well, I’d have to point to my post about it being a matter of enforcing moral precendants on an entire population. How can the government decide what is morally reprehensible and what isn’t? It has to be left up to the indvidual person what they will or will not subject themselves to. I think the government would have a “right” in theory to withhold unemployment from anyone who refuses to take a job that’s available and meets their needs, however, again, in reality it is impossible because some individual people may have a moral objection to certain employment (such as brothel work); and as the government can not involve themselves in this; nor can they base their decision to withold needed monies on it, either.

It doesn’t matter how they would feel about their wives or daughters partcipating; because they can’t make the decision based on that. Or, shouldn’t.

What a conundrum for the government- I imagine they should leave it up to the woman, keep the option of working in a brothel on the table; but if they refuse- it shouldn’t impact their unemployment at all.

Unemployment is a funny thing. Here in the states you get a certain amount of unemployment after it’s gone it’s gone. If you can’t get a job you’re SOL. If you lose your house, car and end up on the streets, to bad. It’s sad. It isn’t right. You work for so many years, pay your taxes- but in the end it doesn’t matter.

I agree, Sauron- let’s hope the right people were elected to do the right job.

The important thing, however is that they had a choice. Hopefully they’ll never let anyone take that away from them.
