But not all public jobs are unpleasant and they can be enjoyed just as much as private jobs. You have bad incentives with private jobs, too, because if someone is just trying to get money that's when they are more likely to take advantage of you and do a poor job while taking your wealth. So based on that, one could argue that private jobs are more susceptible to corruption than public ones.
Regardless, the system has been slowly configured over time to have the perverse incentive structures that those in power like it to have which is why it would be a lot quicker at this point to pull the whole thing out by the roots and start over with a more intelligently set-up system.
Also in 1995 no one could share their sexual fun with the entire world. Technology has made it easier to make these things far more visible. Teens still had orgies though, to various degrees, depending on the repressiveness of sexuality in the particular cultures.
All excellent points, although the moment someone argues against something because it's "not normal" they can just stop right there. XD You can compare scenarios all you want, and doing so does point out how ridiculous it all is and is good to do. At the same time though, all that matters is if it's not hurting anyone or being detrimental. Anti-sexuality largely stems from Puritanism and the concept that sex a) should be hidden, or b) is somehow hurtful for anyone young to be around or experience themselves, are both ridiculous concepts that need to die. If someone isn't brainwashed that sex is going to cause them to go to hell, sex is a normal, fun, and healthy activity.
Yeah, have to make sure the same thing that happened in Egypt and other countries doesn't happen here, where there is a power void due to a revolution that gets filled in by the same rich thieves who controlled the masses previously.
My best guess as to what would create a better system is democracy (since even if the masses are dumb, they need to be educated and become smarter by debating everything for a good long period of time until there is a wide consensus on what to do, as opposed to the idea of the dumb masses electing a smart leader which just doesn't work. Also, no secret laws, obviously.), transparency (those who are elected to positions to perform work for the community are open about everything that happens), and respecting a balance in freedoms between everyone (the current America only respects the freedom of the rich to steal wealth from everyone else).
The plant is rotten and needs to be pulled out by the roots. The entire system has been corrupted to the point of most all incentives being geared to yield the best outcomes for the rich and powerful, and the worst outcomes for everyone else. If you would have told Americans decades ago that we'd have a prison industrial complex that makes money off jailing people, they would have laughed at you.
The Constitution laid out a fairly decent list of rights, but it didn't lay out things like sexual rights, or the right to wear what one wishes to wear including nothing. In the upcoming revolution, I hope things like this are corrected.
No one I've found has covered this except for Techdirt...gotta love all the sneaky undemocratic laws that just suddenly get approved. I understand there was a theoretical point to EOs, but obviously that point has been completely lost, and this is a complete abuse of it.
When is the constitutional convention slash revolution happening please?
Look where your brilliant laws have gotten you America. Make it illegal for kids to be the normal sexual animals they are and pretty soon every kid will be in jail.
In the upcoming revolution, can we please finally agree that sexual rights should be protected for everyone, and only make actual rape and things that are actually detrimental to someone's mental or physical health illegal?

Not that it matters, but prostitution is legal in some places even in America, and making money off sex is done across all sorts of websites.
