I did not say they are bad. I said they make selfish choices on such an extreme scale that such character lends itself very badly for marriage.

Being a hooker/escort is not always a selfish choice. Just because they made that career choice doesn't necessarily make them bad wives.
A guy who invites a hooker or total stranger into his home, leaves all his belongings lying around, does not watch them, gets to state he loses control over his senses (via alcohol, drugs, or Rohypnol) and then has his belongings stolen does not deserve what is coming to him? Again, I am not saying they are not victims. And a guy who gets married to someone he does not know what true intentions she has did all his homework and applied judgement to the best of his knowledge? I can't disagree more.
It is perfectly apparent now that we look at things very differently. Let's rest it. I respect your view on life, men, and women. I just view things differently.

Alright if you say so. Providing for her family by selling her body must then be a justifiable reason. Perhaps you start to look at this differently when you have a daughter or sister or mother who might prostitute her body out to strangers with or without diseases. By that rational it should also be ok to cheat on one's wife as long as long as it somehow benefits one's family I guess? I beg to disagree but hey, you are entitled to your thoughts as everyone else. I have made my points clear.

No because in the same situation, he could've still had all of his belongings intact. Just because somebody's putting all of his belongings in front of you doesn't mean that you are supposed to steal them. People nowadays really have a problem with the concept that when something doesn't belong to you, you are not supposed to take them, I find. The idea that "Thou Shall Not Steal" just doesn't exist on people's moral compass anymore. It's more like "Thou Shall Not Steal only if everything is not feasible for thee to do so". It's incredible. LOL
Sure, but we keep on talking about different topics here. I did not say such person is not a victim but such person is stupid. When you put down a suitcase full of 100 dollar notes on Time Square in New York and others steal it then you are the victim, it was wrong of others to steal your money. But you definitely would qualify as being stupid. You are barking up the wrong tree because you apparently do not understand the point in question. Case closed.
I would be very hurt if I see my family/friend god forbid would have no choice but to prostitute their bodies to try to support another person and I would definitely sympathize them and wouldn't call them selfish. Nobody has the right to judge and evaluate the "righteousness" of a profession just based on what it is as long as it is not bringing harm to another person.
Husband and wives are different because they are ONE person. So if the wife or the husband is prostituting, he/she is lying to the other person and that is a little different. Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbour and Thou shall not covet thy neighbour's wife BUT there is nothing that says Thou shall not sell thy body for money.
So on the other hand if the husband/wife is fully aware of the other spouse's prostituting action and consents to it, then yes I would be fine with it because they wouldn't be bearing false witness and the other person (the john) would not be coveting thy neighbour's wife.

one ALWAYS has a choice not to. Hundreds of millions of women at even the lowest poverty levels choose not to. They toil for pennies a day. What you are saying degrades and belittles all those women who make ends meet without engaging in prostitution. You are incredibly disingenuous. On one hand you cite bible verses and commandments on the other hand you totally disregard what God has to say about prostitution. You may wanna check your belief and what it represents. You can't have it both ways. WTF. I am out of here.

Nobody ever knows how their action was until in hindsight. If nothing happened to that 100-notes suitcase in the middle of Times Square in New York (that area is quite safe now btw), then putting that suitcase there is not that stupid. If I am tired of carrying such a heavy suitcase and just want to put it down for a while, why would that be stupid? But on the other hand, if something happened to that suitcase that it was stolen due to ASSUMING (because you never know I could've still gotten that suitcase stolen even if I held it tight against my chest) that it was because I put that suitcase down, then from hindsight you might conclude that my action of putting down that suitcase is imprudent or stupid. Whether my action is stupid or not still rests on the action of the other person whether he/she left the suitcase alone or decided to steal it knowing very well that the suitcase didn't rightfully belong to him/her. So just by looking at my action alone, you can't conclude whether my action of leaving the 100-notes suitcase in Times Square in New York is "stupid" or not.

NOT always. And the bible did NOT condemn prostitutes. Jesus SPECIFICALLY taught his disciples to be compassionate towards Mary Magdalene who was a prostitute instead of condemning her like the rest of the population. He accepted her and never judged her because of her profession. I am not a Christian but I know the Bible.
