Corner Cases Example

Here's a perfect one:
1)German employment law states that if you've been unemployed for over a year then you must take any job offered to you.
2)In a bid to cut down on the trade in women and other mistreatment of prostitutes, Germany has legalised brothels.

Can you guess what the end result of this is?

Read about it here.

I'm looking forward to reading your responses to this one :->

Hey - I _like_ Visual Basic.

And I've known several people who were raped who said that raping someone was worse than killing them. Indicating that the mental effects are significantly worse than, say, working in an office job.

And I've known several people who were raped who said that raping someone was worse than killing them.

A person who has just had an extremely traumatic experience is entitled to say this, but it's pretty insulting for anyone else to accept it at face value -- I think you might remember a discussion on this in kimberly_a's journal a while back.

Working as a prostitute because when the other option is not receiving unemployment compensation from the government is the same as being raped. If the idea of being a prostitute is so offensive to a person, they can panhandle for change, sponge off friends and family, eat out of dumpsters, or do any number of other things. If you say that these things would be worse than being a prostitute, you've just contradicted your earlier statements. Saying "if you don't consider this option, you won't get a monthly check from the government" is the same as saying "do this or I'll kill you".
