Just going to bed and I had a neural misfire which resulted in what I think is an interesting question.

What is ethically worse, being a stripper or being a telemarketers?

IMO, it's the telemarketers.

In general, stripping isn't exactly the most respected profession. But, to see a stripper you have to go out of your way; you can't really accidentally see a stripper. Thus, only those that choose to see them, see them.

But, telemarketers are involved in annoying us, mostly at the worse times. Not to mention that a good portion of them are trying to rip us off. There is also no limit to who they bother. They affect the young and old alike regardless if we want it. They also will not leave us alone. There is no escape.

What are your guys opinions?

The problem I see is that there are side effects to strippers. Say a strip club opens up around the corner from your home. You start to worry about your kids being out at night even near their home because they bring in "undesirables". Now don't get me wrong. I enjoy myself at a club every now and again, but some of the folk I've seen there give me the willies (sometimes the dancers too)

That said they are quite similar. They make most people uncomfortable who are not interested in spending money there. The telemarketer who calls at dinner, or the seedy strip club in a residential neighborhood. 'course I definately agree with you on one point. I feel like I get more for my money from a stripper

I think for the most part we'd be better off without both of them... or at least as many of them. Nice to know they're there if you wanna go out of your way to do business, but I don't like shiting where I eat. I kinda liked the idea of strippers more when it was dirty, not well lit places you'd go to off of an expressway. Not so much a fan of them when they're taking off their clothes right next to the Baskin Robbins at the local mini-mall, in a non-smoking establishment. Yeah... they did that in cities in Illinois already because we know that the patrons who frequent the nudie bars and get drunk there are really upstanding citizens who care an awful lot about their health.

I also derive pleasure from both of them. Strippers need no explanation of course, but I like harassing telemarketers just as much. Nothing beats trying to sell my car to a telemarketer.... except maybe getting a lap-dance from a stripper that's crying.

Everyone is entitled to a job, and if I have to choose the lesser of two evils I would say the strippers stay and the telemarketers go. It wasn't a easy decision, a good friend of mine works as a DJ at a strip club and has explained to me the unseen elements of the whole situation so I have a perspective beyond the surface veneer.

But what's your opinion of the phone sex workers?

Both of them are jobs that one may not want to have to fall into. And both are held by people who are just trying to make a living like everybody else. One job is annoying for almost everybody the other is pure entertainment for those people whom want that sort of thing.

My vote for the more ethically worse is the telemarketers. We can do without people trying to sell us life insurance and change phone service when we are trying to eat dinner. But face it most of us love, at least a little bit, a person who is willing to take their cloths off and dance for a couple of bucks.

Course the $20 cover and the $8 beers are morally and ethically wrong.

What is ethically wrong with being a stripper....Their bodies, given to them by god, to show men for a buck...Works for me.

I have no ethical problem with strippers per se. I worry more than anything about the strippers being mis-treated or shady things happening in the background. Telemarketers I know are just people making minimum wage somewhere trying to make a living. It doesn't mean they aren't annoying as hell. My wife has a great response actually to telemarketers. You can usually tell if you're getting a telemarketer since there's a little pause before they connect. She'll grab our 3-year old and give her the phone.

Course, I'll never forget a quote I once saw on the news when there was a report about how the city was trying to get the strip clubs to shut down by removing their liquor licenses. They asked this woman who was passing by how she felt about her husband going to the clubs. She just replied: "Honey, I don't care where he goes to get an appetite, just so he comes home to eat"...

Love that quote...

Me, I personally don't enjoy strip clubs. It's just teasing without release... you get arrested for getting that...

You're presupposing that they're both unethical. Justify.

All I know is telemaketers are evil.

Telemarketers attack you at home and at the worst times.

Although, I wouldn't mind a stripper calling me at 8:00 p.m. to tell me she's coming to give me a lap dance.
