OH-SO-TYPICAL DUTCH MORALS AGAIN...

The French gave us the Statute of Liberty...our Lady Liberty. Wonder what they'll call this statute?


The Statute of Fallen Whores?...




AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Amsterdam's red-light district will soon get a new attraction: a statue to honor prostitutes around the world. The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news agency ANP reported. "In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength," Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who commissioned the statue, told ANP. ANP said the statue, made of bronze, shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world.

Why is a statue for prostitutes so wrong? There are prostitutes all over the world, including in your country. Throughout history there have been prostitutes, if you do not believe me you can do the research. Yes, prostitution may not be the best of professions, but if we're all created "equal" then who are we to judge them. Everyone has rights, so do prostitutes. I believe it is good that they are getting some recognition, because of all the crap they have to do just to make a couple of bucks. You know in some countries long ago, prostitutes were highly respected, more than a man's wife even. Think about that some more, before you cast judgement.
