I have (back patting inserted here) read this whole thread and I don't see where a strawman arguement has been introduced by MM.
Indeed, he has been quite logical, although I wish he'd find another analogy rather than prostitution. But, that's just me.
Shoot! Now my face is red. You all were funnin' each other.
Well, I was surprised that I was able to find a FReeper who is okay with 14 year-olds acting in pornography.
I think my point applies to less disturbing jobs, like sending kids into mines to reach ore in places where adults can't go (a common practice before child labor laws). Or using them to unclog textile machines since their hands could reach in (though, sometimes, the machines would take their hands off).
I was trying to use the kiddie porn and prostitution analogy to point out the craziness of the idea that kids should be allowed to work in any profession, so long as their parents approve. Sometimes, though, FReepers can really be off the deep end.
