Ship Living Quarters

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: Nooo, and at what point are you thinking they are going to learn that they are good at sex here? A large part of schooling will be done by the time they are old enough to consider sex. I'm just thinking as the commander of a ship, even if they aren't enjoying any other path, I would rather have people who are doing something with a purpose that they aren't exactly happy with over doing something they are happy with that doesn't serve a purpose for the ship. Even then, consider the idea that they enjoy it, but they aren't good at it, or they enjoy it AND still are good at it, but don't make a decent living off of it?

2009-12-18 [Chel.]: My 2 cents: Even if prostitution isn't legal in your future....it's still gonna happen. So are drug deals, murders and suicides.

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: Ah suicide is not illegal... just failing to pull it off is.

2009-12-18 [Chel.]: Hah! Good point.

2009-12-18 [Chel.]: Wait... yes it is. If you are caught attempting suicide. They throw you in jail.

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: But you haven't succeeded and actually done it, have you? No, you failed to pull it off.

2009-12-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: You can be part of a brothel and have class, you know. There are brothels who will pay most if not all of a lady in red's tuition if she chooses to pursue a college degree.

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: Another good point.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: But I do not find "brothel" to be a very useful aspect to have in a city. While they might pay for ladies to have educations and college degrees, you could have a place that does something similar that has more of a useful output. Say somewhere that does small time, short term jobs for money, hiring people out and using the money it collects to then sponsor people onto degrees.

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: Not everyone wants to do a day's work for a day's pay.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: Then why become a prostitute? I'm not suggesting it isn't a job in itself, I'm just saying I could think of things better than doing so. I would not encourage prositution, I am aware it will happen, and that it can be very hard at time (giggity) but I would rather see other alternatives.

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: Why would someone want to do odd jobs, or anything really, if they aren't very smart or skilled and love having sex?

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: They wouldn't.

2009-12-18 [Artsy]: Exactly.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: And I don't care. Do something productive instead of doing something you like.

2009-12-18 [Chel.]: Or a pimp?

2009-12-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: yeah, but if it's legal you can tax it. :D

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: A gain for a city that would not head anywhere

2009-12-18 [Pnelma Tirian]: what? please! a city's government can ALWAYS use heavier taxes.

2009-12-18 [Evolution X]: to spend on?

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