  • Prostitution is generally defined as the practice of providing sexual services for money, but because it requires a buyer and a seller it can more appropriately be defined as the practice of exchanging money for sexual services.

  • Levels of prostitution increased during the FIRST WORLD WAR when there was little employment for women, and decreased during the SECOND WORLD WAR, perhaps as a result of the greater economic opportunities for women in war-related industries.

      Je trove que cette point de vue de l'auteure est très intéressant...
  • It's that time of year again - the buildup to the holiday whose name so many people are afraid to say. "Merry Christmas." Why do these two words offend so many people? Why is this greeting such a big problem? Why are their retail stores that insist their employees say "Happy Holidays"? Of course, some have even dropped the 's', and wish people a "Happy Holiday." What holiday are they talking about? Why can't they just say it!? Why are there so many offices that are afraid to have a "Christmas" party? Why are public schools forbidden to utter the word "Christmas" and, in some cases, not allowed to even have red and green decorations or visits from Santa Claus? What's the problem with Christmas? In truth, there should be NO problem with Christmas - and there should be no problem , thankfully, some retail stores like Wal-Mart are wising up to this fact.

  • While the United States is officially and culturally committed to religious freedom, the overwhelming majority of the American people respect Christmas as it has traditionally been understood and observed. Here are some facts to prove this: According to the well-known polling firm Zogby, 95% of Americans are NOT offended when they hear "Merry Christmas" and over half are "bothered" by the greeting "Happy Holidays." A FOXNEWS poll in 2005 suggests that 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas - that's "Christmas" specifically as in the holiday on December 25 Another FOXNEWS poll that same year said that 83% of respondents believed nativity scenes were appropriate for public propertyA 2004 Newsweek poll revealed that 79% of Americans believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ as depicted in the BibleNinety percent of respondents to a 2000 Gallup poll affirmed the birth of Jesus Christ as the purpose of Christmas
  • This author will grant that it's unethical and socially wrong to deliberately provoke and offend someone who is of a different faith. But this does not mean - nor should it mean - that we have to censor out any public, visible displays of Christmas for the comfort of the few who might be offended. The First Amendment guarantees the free exercise of religion. It does NOT - and read this carefully - it does NOT guarantee one the right to NOT be offended. It does NOT guarantee the right of one to be free of any social discomfort.
