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 :->

No, I read it. I disagree. I know women who have chosen to work in the sex industry, both in countries where it is legal & where it is illegal. In both cases, I'm told that it's only a good move for those who are not coerced in any way. Withholding an unemployment check because a woman refuses to have sex with random strangers is coercion.
