That Bill is now being Voted on

[Curvaceous Kate]

A woman slapping a man is okay, the other way around it is not, unless she is into it.

I'm sure if you would see it happening in the pub you would be admiring the woman.

Get a grip ..

Have to disagree with you on that one. Equality (which I hope most people want these days) means that it is not okay to slap anyone regardless of their gender. Zilch is also correct in that you never know how someone might respond to that and a lesser man might slap you back, which is a risk not worth taking.

I think Zilch was trying to tell you to take care more than reprimand you and that is where my post comes from too. Don't get yourself hurt Rachel.

the truth is the majority of those in this country will welcome the new law and why should the minister care about sex workers opinions, she doesn't and in reality she would have a very low opinion of them in general, they don't matter

Any poll I have seen though none of them were that scientific suggest that most people oppose the insane part of this bill and polls in The UK also oppose similar proposals when ever conducted.
I think the vast majority of people if they were exposed to a balanced debate would oppose this daftness!
Also the notion that a law which will inevitably see an increase in violence against women is about to be introduced would never be supported by the majority of people, absolutel

They are also very aware that the young generation of today are not anti sex workers as long as they are not being abused. This is far scarier than tackling any sex worker that might not approve of the changes.

Bill makes sex workers ‘poorer and unsafe’ http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/ir...safe-fj3pw20lw plain and clear here why is it ignored ????

Sex workers among many other skills which they have developed from dealing with a diverse group of people so intimately tend to be experts in sizing up people fairly quickly and also in body language! And as we are all very well aware, there are no flies on our Rachel!

Oh sorry, ignore what I said, of course you are right, I don't know anything.

Ireland is Ireland and wives girlfriends and a lot others would welcome it, these don't have a high opinion of sex workers either because they don't fully understand to even want to.

Why is it OK for a woman to slap a man coz if I saw a woman doing it I'd think "tramp"

But then maybe I'm used to socialising with ladies.

You also fail to see my initial point.
I was merely advising you should be very careful when slapping clients. My mistake.
A lesser man wouldn't just walk away.

100% Right Zilch as a gentleman would walk away and true a lesser man would retaliate and hit back..As dangerous enough letting a stranger in to their apartment but but striking or slapping them is taking lady safety out of their hands..As they say you keep pushing someone they will retaliate in words or physical..
One rule in this world is better to walk away from a lady as you never win a argument as I had a girlfriend who hit me but never hit back as only take one hand to her and I am in the wrong..I know people say that laws equals on both right but believe me it not..
So guys live and learn with girlfriends or wives in a row.Best to walk away as you be better man to do so..And go out and book a Escort for hour and chat to her and if lucky have sex as it good to calm body and mind as stimulated the body..

I don't really agree with that as the Bill was in many parts not just the paying for sex part, it was put together in a way the made it appeal to others that it was the right thing to do so, it was a smart move putting it all together as one

Sure that is the current generation, but if you look at the early 20's generation and their responses on these debate shows and at the Universities they are not fussed about sex work at all. I think they find this alarming, so they are having to do this now before they lose a grip on the current 'mid 30's +' age group that still have a religious background and more moralistic and linear background. Younger people travel much more than in the past, although I know a lot of people here went to Australia, they didn't travel through Europe so much and there is a distinct difference in attitude between those that have and those that haven't in my opinion.
