Britain is proposing to remove the term "prostitute" from the criminal statutes because it carries too much stigma.

Instead, a new bill that the Justice Ministry has drafted refers simply to persons who sell sex persistently - defined as twice or more in three months.

"We just wanted to remove the stigma of the label 'common prostitute'," said a spokeswoman for the Justice Ministry.

"It's been around since 1824, so it was a bit outdated. It just wasn't really helpful to label people."

The new bill introduces measures to try to get sex workers out of the industry, and in effect decriminalises prostitution for those who are not considered persistent.

What is wrong with the labor party in that nation..

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

People are seriously becoming dumber by the day. Next we are going to start renaming criminals and child molesters to more BS 'PC' names.

Prostitutes ought to do what they do in Germany: Unionize!

They don't have their own union, but as far as I know they can join one (the GMB) - I remember it being in the news a few years ago that they were trying to recruit more members from among 'sex workers'.

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png

Anyone remember that movie from the 80's- I think Michael Keaton was in it- Night Shift? Night Moves?

There was that one scene he had the word prostitute writen on the board and was breaking it down- Pro, 2 tits.

That just popped into my head.
