Prostitution at World Cup

Jun 09, 2006 10:13

I don't quite know how I feel about legalised prostitution, but it appears that Germany are going to be importing a whole bunch of (possibly unwilling) prostitutes for the World Cup - that's today. I don't know what they plan on doing with them once the WC is over, but anyway ( Read more... )

Isn't it a bit late now mate? The first game has just kicked off, so I presume if this really is happening, then they will all be there by now? This world sucks.

Yeah probably... I meant to post it about three weeks ago but then we went on holiday and I only just remembered it. *sigh*

I don't mind if people want to be prostitutes, but importing them against their will is different - and so is forcing them to be prostitutes because "we'll cut your dole payments if you don't, it's a perfectly legal and acceptable trade after all and there are jobs going". That's like legalising rape!

I have a feeling that at best this is grossly over-exaggerated. These type of reports usually are.
Not to mention the fact that after Thailand Germany is perhaps second in the world for available sex. I doubt they need to immport them any further away than Hamburg.
Frankly I am more concerned over the documented reports of UN people trading food for sex, with minors in underdeveoped countries.

By the way, I hope you are feeling better, and your hearing has cleared up.
I have not been my normal replying self, due to a rather irritating physical problem that makes it uncomfortable sitting at the comp....but I am praying for you :D

Second in the world after Thailand? I very much doubt it! For a start the Netherlands are more of a sex-tourism draw than Germany, and then there are plenty of other developing-world countries that provide too ( ... )

I re-read what I wrote after your reply, and I owe you an apology, I came off quite callous, and like I don't care ( ... )

Thank you Rod. <3 I know what you mean, I feel helpless too. :(

I am sorry you're feeling so crap too. Really hope it gets sorted soon. *big hugs*

Have you got any links to the UN thing - we only get CNN here and I haven't seen anything about it (going away for two weeks probably didn't help either)
