No tricks, no treats?

Those traditional defenders of human rights, the Germans, have come up with a program that is destined to be emulated elsewhere. The subhead in the UK online Telegraph gets right to the point: 'If you don't take a job as a prostitute, we can stop your benefits' .

Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990.

The government had considered making brothels an exception on moral grounds, but decided that it would be too difficult to distinguish them from bars. As a result, job centres must treat employers looking for a prostitute in the same way as those looking for a dental nurse.

While we attempt to stifle our disgust, our inquiring minds must ask, Why should government find prostitutes (or coerce women into becoming prostitutes) for brothels? The writer explains:

Prostitution was legalised in Germany in 2002 because the government believed that this would help to combat trafficking in women and cut links to organised crime.

Oh! Why take the risk of kidnapping, beating and drugging women when you can get the State to force them into prostitution by cutting off their unemployment benefits? The superior "morality" of this position just goose-steps you right in the groin, doesn't it?

If the Christians of Germany do not rise up to stop this madness, then we can safely conclude that there are no more Christians left.
