Waitress asked to prostitute her self or loose bennetits

[Ervin]

I found this article on one of the forums. It's about democracy loving ways:

'IF YOU DON'T TAKE A JOB AS A PROSTITUTE, WE CAN STOP YOUR BENEFITS' By Clare Chapman 12:01AM GMT 30 Jan 2005 A 25-year-old waitress who turned down a job providing "sexual services'' at a brothel in Berlin faces possible cuts to her unemployment benefit under laws introduced this year. Prostitution was legalised in Germany just over two years ago and brothel owners – who must pay tax and employee health insurance –were granted access to official databases of jobseekers. The Telegraph

I don't think this a good thing to do to someone.

It is legal to be a prostitute in Germany. That means if they have an official job they are entitled to certain benefits. What it doesn't mean is that anyone has to be a prostitute. It's only one option. And unlike in many other countries, it is an option within an appropriate legal frame. Not so many countries count prostitution among acceptable jobs.

Hello Ervin,

This was exposed as an Urban Myth way back in February 2005.

Thanks Chris's. I have gone around on all forums and I have given them the link with an explanation. I have even gone to the forum were I got it from and I have done the same.

Thanks

You know that you said ..., um, "bennetits"?

I noticed that, but didn't comment - they were even 'loose benne tits' - isn't that Latin? LOL

Seriously, though, when I see the effects of European legislation I wonder if the law-makers ever bother to think about the consequences.

Being forced into this job would be highly Immoral.

As Chris said.
So I guess we can give it a rest before people get confused.
