A) That's what you think. Who died and made you God if defining "dignity"?
B) You think that, in large part, because of the stigma associated with prostitution; attitudes like yours are what that stigma is.
C) That's why the original suggestion was to remove the stigma around prostitution. (If that could be done, then you possibly wouldn't be thinking the way you are now.)
I don't think that includes paying for sex.
Also to your comment "Different people want different things. Prostitutes want money." That's not what prostitutes want, it's what they need from a practical point of view. When you're just trying to get by, you do things you don't want to do in order to get what you need. Now the higher end ones that make big money probably don't need it, but I don't claim to know what their motivations are.
"The problem we are discussing is that some people aren't desirable for some reason they don't know how to do something about."
That we can agree on. My point with the crude comment is to alert them to that fact. Most people don't want to change and will reject the idea that they need to. You gotta smack em with the idea pretty hard sometimes.
