Lots of nostalgia for family values on this thread
Everyone has to draw the line for themselves, and everyone does. Recently I read a quote about how people on death row for multiple murders are likely to curse "liars" or "thieves" as contemptible, loathsome beings. Of course they're sincere, but the rest of us see the absurdity of their view. Not that you'd argue with them about it.
In the sex industry, there are tons of inspired amateurs who have a fun time doing their work. There are also really talented artists and inspired engineers. There are financial wizards and marketing gurus. And there are low forms of life that predate on the weak. Pick your poison.
What strikes me as gross is reveling in the degradation of human beings. Whether you believe in karma or not, there's no question we contribute to the creation of the world that our descendants will inhabit. Hastening humanity's descent into degradation for fun and profit always seemed like a questionable occupation. Then I ended up a lawyer. But an old fashioned one.
