I could be missing the real sarcasm here, but allow me to expose myself to humiliation in such case.
Point 1: Very few people on this planet would consider prostitution to be a moral source of income.
Point 2: When arguing against immoral acts, few people would be stupid enough to actually MEAN that prostitution is higher on the morality scale.
The point being made was that, and I feel redundant saying this, once you've stooped so low (read: prostitution level, in her opinion), why not go for something that's more stable/reliable money than a fickle once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
That said, I don't entirely agree with her extremities, but that's Sarah for you.
Once you've thrown away any bonds with morality that you have--especially for money--you may as well go all in and do it right. Prostituting yourself is a great way to do that without polluting the rest of the world; perhaps that can be your saving grace. And I don't mean that in a GODLY way, but societal. I've certainly got more respect someone who degrades themselves for money over some betraying everyone else' hard work for it.
People need to stop rationalizing doing pomegranatety things because it benefits them and then acting like those who look down on them are in the wrong. You want to be a scumbag? Then own it for what it is. The people who choose to live their lives in a way that doesn't harm anyone else (and yes, this is exactly what you're doing whether you acknowledge it or not) are absolutely better than those who choose to disregard everyone around them for a quick buck. What's worse is those who further rationalize it by saying it's for a greater good like education. Seriously? pineapple off and get a job.
