As most of you know and few of you care. I live in germany and thought about doing a little expose' about the life here. Well, here is one for you.
In 2002, Germany legalized prostitution, mostly for tax revenue and to make sex workers eligible for health care benefits, and at the same time, it specifically declined to exempt brothels from those places of employment at which the jobless might be required to work in order to maintain their benefits.
In December, there was a press report of a 25-year-old unemployed waitress complaining that she had been called for an interview at a brothel and feared that if she declined the job, her benefits would be cut. Germany's Federal Labor Office said it would not do that, but a Hamburg lawyer said there have been cases of unemployed female call-center workers being offered telephone sex-line jobs via the government.
Yes, I have been to the "Red Light" as it is so called. I was young and it was most excellent. So, one of Germany's little quirks. God I love it.
