Some interesting comments on yesterday's poll.
Most interesting was a few people complaining that they didn't have the option they wanted on the poll. Two which I have two responses:
1) As I've made clear before, no simple structure is ever going to map onto a complex situation. So complaining that a poll on "favourite Indiana Jones movie" misses out "Last Crusade" is reasonable, but complaining that one on prostitution doesn't have an option for every possible way of dealing with it strikes me as fatuous.
2) These people apparently wanted an option for "Prostitution should be legal, but I'm again slavery, beatings, and rape." I'm sorry, but on this journal you're assumed to be against those things (well, in actual sense, feel free to tie each other up in a consensual way). I wasn't going to ask if you were in favour of prostitution being legalised providing it didn't involve the death of the prostitute either - because you're assumed to not be in favour of people stabbing prostitutes to death. If you're in favour of slavery, rape, murder, etc. then feel free to leave a comment and I'll ban you when I get home tonight.
Honestly, you people baffle me, you really do.
