(3 of 14) ITS WRONG TO PAY FOR SEX DEBATE - LIONEL TIGER

The goal of IQ2 US is to raise the level of public discourse on our most challenging issues. To provide a new forum for intelligent discussion, grounded in facts and informed by reasoned analysis. To transcend the toxically emotional and the reflexively ideological. To encourage recognition that the opposing side has intellectually respectable views. To engage the live audience as active participants who will ask questions and decide which speakers have carried the day by voting on the motions both before and after the debate.

@hapobelle I dont trust any man that is pro prostitution.

[DelinquentBilly]

@freestye08 I'd rather die once than live in a "daily hell" so that throws your argument out. 

[freestye08]

most humans do NOT have a choice out side of take it or leave it and die because we don't really care. Dieing of hunger and exposure is a bit worse than living a daily hell. SOme Choice Mr. Tiger. Get a life and quite taking others away form them!

[freestye08]

This man is deceiving himself...free choice? I bet he never went hungry. I bet he has always had money in his pockets, his children have aways been fed and his bills paid. He was probably told from birth how wonderful he was and how the world is his to take and he can aspire to be anything, anything he "chooses" to be. Mr. Tiger, just because you had a good life chock full of choices dose NOT translate into everyone has a choice. Some, many, yes even most humans do NOT have a choice

[hapobelle]

Most pro-prostitution are men.How in hell would he ever fuck a 20 year old if not giving her money,he knows that and that does not make it sex for pleasure so it is wrong to pay.

[aileenwuornos89]

Shut the fuck up, Lionel tiger.

[aileenwuornos89]

Also I love how this dude totally ignores the existence of spinsters and lesbians.

[aileenwuornos89]

If everyone who actually said rape was wrong actually acted that way, debates like this wouldn't exist, so clearly, not every one does recognize that rape is wrong. And a man speaking for women? Gee, how original.

[jill198751]

well... his argument is so weak. His argument doesn't beat the counter argument that even if women make the apparent "choice" to be more sexually appealing in order to get more affection from their own partner or get more money from their sex buyers, paying for sex on the male side is still wrong.

This is making me miss the British debate version.
