Ship Living Quarters

2009-12-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: absolutely.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: But there would be very little drive in a city that did not encourage you to do something challenging.

2009-12-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: if prostitution became a profession it would become fairly competitive I imagine. Good money and good hours, too, for those paying for further education. Plus we'll need to keep our populations up, eh? ;)

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: I don't think I'd like to see to what depths people would go for "challenging prostitution"

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: of course there would be an application process.. make sure you were good enough for it...

2009-12-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: "challenging prostitution"? Keeping in mind that brothels get away with being called 'escort service' this would also include harems, hosts and entertainment (like geishas). Plus we're catering to more than one species here.

2009-12-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: You'd have to get licensed :D

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: I'm sure there would be a union too, like in Las Vegas..

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: So what would happen if they failed to get in through this application process? And I still dispute usefulness

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: All work and no play makes people very dull... and cranky. And if they failed, they would apply for something else.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: What something else? Why didn't they apply for this to begin with? And I never said no fun, just no prostitutes

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: Why apply for a job at McDonalds, when Walmart pays better? Lesser of two evils and what not...

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: because in mac Donalds you aren't selling your body for repeated use as "tension relief", and in Mac Donals there's a chance you might go somewhere.

2009-12-18 [Ravenclaw]: No, they tell you that there is room for advancement but you never get higher than swing manager if you don't totally sell out and devote yourself to the company. So yeah, it is like prostitution.

I spent four years under the golder arches and I still want my life back.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: Further than I can see prostitutes going... and there's always been trouble leaving that trade

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: not the respectable stuff... just where pimps are concerned...

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: but people who are going to not become the "respectable" version might not go onto other jobs, but become the less respectable version.

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: why would they do that when the respectable version is just as nice, but with respect, and more money?

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: Maybe the "respectable" version asks for certain aspects, which they don't fit? Or they find they don't get enough money for their tastes because there are rules now? What's wrong with just getting a normal job?

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: Because it causes feelings of hopelessness... make people VERY unhappy.... kill themselves or others.... And it's not about that Evo-kun, it's the fact that some people would CHOOSE that life, and you shouldn't force them to pick something else just because you don't like it. I don't like car mechanics, but I don't say 'don't to that, it's yucky'.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: It's not that I don't like prostitutes, I just think there could be more functional jobs that people could be happy with. I just think you're saying a very unreasonable situation where people can have no hope in any other job other than prostitution.
