Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
so according to your logic it doesnt matter what germany will or will not do, because your daughter shouldn't need to take unemployment benefits anyhow, therefore germany's "mandatory prostitution program" (LOL) wouldn't even matter because she would morally object to getting the benis anyhow right??? (fwiw i can assure you that the vast majority of welfare recipients in germany are not prostitutes and have not been denied unemployment benis because they have not been prostitutes...)
Quote from drjekyllus:
LOL. Please tell me this a joke. In Germany if you don't accept a job as a prostitute they will take your unemployment benefits. MoFo, if that is freedom, then let freedom ring. Everyone should have their daughters forced to have sex with strange men by the state. Its freedom. Barney Frank would take the job as a gay prostitute and enjoy it.

a nice propaganda piece, but it's bullshit, if you believe this crap you have done humanity a grave disservice by reproducing...
germany's unemployment rate is LOWER than the united states by a huge margin, is lower than your inaccurate claims...
FRANKFURT (AFP) - German unemployment rose slightly to 8.3 percent of the workforce in August, official data showed on Tuesday, while analysts and officials warned of further increases in Europe's biggest economy.
Adjusted for seasonal factors, the Federal Labour Agency said the number of unemployed rose by 9,000 people from July to a total of 3.47 million, with a government scheme to subsidise shorter working hours "stabilising the labour market."

"Repercussions from the economic crisis were felt in August on the labour market" however, a statement quoted agency president Frank Weise as saying.
Analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast an increase of 30,000 unemployed workers and a jobless rate of 8.3 percent.

On Monday, Labour Minister Olaf Scholz said in Der Spiegel magazine that unemployment would keep rising in the coming months, but remain below four million.
"The economic collapse will of course lead to a jump in unemployment in the coming months," the Social Democrat minister said, before adding that "this year we will stay under the four million mark."

A state scheme subsidising firms to cut working hours has thus far prevented a flood of jobless claims but experts warn that a steady trickle in recent months could soon become a deluge.
According to an assessment by German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, the 30 companies on Frankfurt's DAX index (Xetra: news) of blue-chip stocks have axed a total of 50,000 jobs, including 30,000 in Germany, from October 2008 to June 2009.
But Germany has rebounded with unexpected speed from its worst recession in more than six decades, edging back to growth in the second quarter of this year with an expansion of 0.3 percent

sure, yahoo finance, the article being spot on also means you were way off... germany's unemployment is FAR LESS than the usas and the usa underqotes their unemployment, whereas germany overstates theirs... glad we could agree you were incorrect...

Really, its not my fault you are not informed.

"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 â who must pay tax and employee health insurance â were granted access to official databases of jobseekers.
The waitress, an unemployed information technology professional, had said that she was willing to work in a bar at night and had worked in a cafe.
She received a letter from the job centre telling her that an employer was interested in her "profile'' and that she should ring them. Only on doing so did the woman, who has not been identified for legal reasons, realise that she was calling a brothel.
Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job â including in the sex industry â or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990."
It certainly sucks to be you.
Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
you proved your "point" in this argument by posting articles about german unemployment... and the fact is that the united states unemployment is higher...
Quote from omegapoint:
You misinterpret what the word "forced" implies in the language above. It doesn't require a woman by law to become a prostitute it suggests that prostitution is an option if she wants to keep her benefits. My impression of Germany is that it isn't so uncivilized that it would send police to a womans door, drag her out and insert her into a brothel.
Quote from drjekyllus:
Well thanks for clearing that up for me. So the government of Germany says, "Go have sex with strange men for money, if you don't we will cut your jobless benefits."
Isn't that nice. I am so glad that you are perfectly happy with this kind of policy.
This is what we call "liberal compassion".
