Description[?]:
| "It is a blemish upon our nations good name that we allow this disgusting practice to continue even in this day and age.

Furthermore this encourages people to not follow respectable and beneficial career paths as they can simply use their body to make money as opposed to contributing to the economic and moral well being of the nation. Supporters claim it is the oldest trade but even if that is the case it it time we made it as dead as the time period it originates from." -- Itzhak Machuv, Minister for Internal Affairs |
