tree-mac - you were molested and thats what makes it normal for you, but it isn't normal. Go see a therapist before you end up in jail
first off a woman who goes into a prostitution is MUCH DIFFERENT than a kid who is forced into it. you're right. i can say i had a good childhood. my parents worked hard. they stilll work. living in America is great. i wouldnt wanna live anywhere else. nobody in my family or nobody i know has ever had to sell their body for sex, sell drugs, etc..... i dont know where you live, but in America decent people dont do that crap no matter how tough times get. There are always other ways to make money here. I can walk into a Walmart tomorrow and get a job. I dont live in a third world country, but in some countries, that kind of stuff is accepted and even allowed. People were raised around that culture....and that still doesnt make it okay. Are you really defending that now? i realize desperate times call for desperate measures, but to me desperate measures include having a 2nd job, living in a homeless shelter, asking a family member for money, etc....... not selling myself or my kid out for anything.....would you do that? tree-mac, i think it's unfortunate you were molested as a child. molestation charges can include antyhing from what happened to you to oral sex to bestiality. if you're saying one thing is okay, then you're saying all of this is okay
My original question was if the damaged was already done, would you take the money? I'm surprised. No amount is enough? Even billions?
there must be someone else who grew up in vietnam on this board.. please come forward and tell us if anything remotely similar to the practice tree-mac described is true..
Then you spun it into saying you would be willing to do it for the money because of poverty, etc. Nice try. But I'll humor you. The answer to this question is still an unequivocal no from me. And I'll echo what someone else said a few post back, because I hadn't seen your comment that you were touched as a child when I posted my first reply. Get therapy. He's right. You think it's no big deal because it happened to you. It is a big deal. It's a very big deal. Get help, or I'm afraid you'll continue this cycle some day.
What country have you lived in besides U.S.? This state is probably the only state you've lived in. You really don't know what it's like in poorer countries. They over there would not mind anyone feeling on them for millions of dollars. You can do a survey if you want. So don't tell me that whatever is right in this country is right in another country. Sure murder is wrong in any country. But feeling on the body is not a felony in other countries.
Yeah, ask. I'm not saying it's a national thing, but it's something that's not a huge deal like everyone is making it here. I did not spin anything. I somehow got insulted just because I asked a simple question, taking the money or not? I know I said I wouldn't mind if that happened to my kid. I don't think with so much money that there is no therapy that can cure some fondling. I don't think my kid would be traumatized for life, not if I don't make him feel that way.
tree-mac, you're justifying child prostituion now. there are broke people in vietnam, india, and even here in america, that would never even consider selling there kids into prostitution. just cuz they do it doesnt make it right. if im poor, and i rob a bank? does it make it right? nope are you okay with child p*rnography as long as the kids get paid?
Also, I'm a normal person. In fact, I'm more normal than most people. I have never done any crime in my life or even attempt to. I respect my parents and adults, more than what my American friends have towards their own parents. I'm also ambitious and know where I'm heading. So don't bring up this I was molested situation and assume I'm abnormal. I feel like I've been asking "Is it okay to murder someone for money?"
I guess ideally you'd like to think a parent would like to raise a child and always look out for the child's best interest, not take advantage of a child's innocence for financial gain. If your child was a grown woman, perhaps 20 lets say, I'm curious, would you still let someone else fondle her genitals for a price? Or are you trying to say it's okay because as a young kid they won't know the difference so that justifies your actions as being okay? If your child is unwilling to be fondled and is crying and scared by being fondled by a stranger does this even phase you, or does the $20 million outweigh any of these factors as that is ultimately the most important thing to you? Initially I mistook you for an attention seeking troll but the more I read your responses the more I fear that you are someone who is a danger to society.
You didn't ask a simple question - and like another poster said, just because it happens doesn't make it right. Furthermore, your original post ended with telling us that anyone who says they wouldn't take the money is a liar. Not simple at all, sir.
It's not prostitution. There are no sexual acts involved for the kid. It is only some guy fondling with a child and then bam, millions of dollars. Are you losing your dignity as a person if that happened to you? Seriously? There is no way to make your life better? So why are women these days sleeping around for free? It is just as degrading as a molestor. Wait, in this country it is okay to sleep around before marriage. You see? It's a big deal here, not there. It's a big deal there, not here. So if you just answered my question, then we're good. But the attacks that I'm a monster or something is just wierd. I mean, as a real life person, do you know me? Or do I know you? It's just supposed to be a discussion on a hypothetical situation.
I can see that your opinion is unlikely to change until you make a mistake while living in this country and get shown differently by the authorities. So I will repeat that I only hope and pray that you never have children due to these beliefs of yours, no matter what country you may have them in. And please, stop comparing the actions of grown adults to something you would put on a child who depends on you for protection. It's ridiculous. And sir, it's a big deal everywhere. That a society doesn't recognize it is a crime unto itself.
I don't consider teenagers who sleep around as adults. It is wrong to sleep around pre marriage. As them being kids, parents should be held responsible for their kids' wrong actions. Or there was a time when it was wrong. Back then, parents would be shamed if their daughter is pregnant without a husband. So allowing girls to sleep around should also be a crime? You will never see me in the news because all I've been talking about is hypothetical. But if it did happen to my kid, I would definitely take the money.
Well good for you. Again, I hope you never have them and make this hypothetical a reality. I don't think I need to post in this thread anymore though. So one last time, get help. Your opinions on this issue are scary.
I think your a sick **** that has probably already molested someone's child and your on here trying to justify it in your own mind.
Or you'll just go to Vietnam and perform oral sex on little Vietnamese kids right....cuz it's okay over there, right
