Why do People Delete my Answers when I suggest Prostitution?

I have had a answer reported and deleted for suggesting that a single mother try prostitution for a while so she can provide an income and spend more time with her infant. In my country this is a legal, liscensed occupation. What is the problem with suggesting this job?

Update:

Eastwood, I live in a devoloped nation and it is perfectly legal. The government doesn't try to stop it because it is not a problem.

Update 2:

Dutch, I live in Germany. I personally have not used this service, but I don't understand why Americans are so afraid of such a relationship between consenting adults.

Update 3:

Ok, to be more direct, I realized that most people consider prostitution to be immoral. I wouldn't want my friends/family doing it, what I am saying is why are people reporting it when it does not in any way violate the rules, nor is it illegal. If I was suggesting the sale of heroin, that would be different, because it is illegal.

Then yahoo sends me a blanket email when I try to bring this up.

    To be honest Paul, I'd at least find out if the single mother was asking from a place where prostitution was legal before suggesting something like that. Because, like others have said, in most places it is illegal and quite demoralizing for a person's self respect.

    However, if I am ever in Germany, I am calling you up and you better have at least three, clean, ho's for me to test out....lol Oh and nothing over $500.

    The problem is that prostitution is illegal in most countries of the world. People will view your answer as offensive.

    I don't disagree with you, it can earn very good money, though you are on a world wide forum with millions of people, any of which could find your answer offensive at any time and for any reason.

    Eastwood below, prostitution is illegal in the Philippines. Come here and you'll see the nightly police raids. Corruption is what brushes it under the carpet.

    i'm sorry that that is occurring to you, apparently you've picked up a troll, I relish your questions, i began having the same situation and function went inner most because of it!! There are some people right here that do not have any life and experience the desire to attempt to interrupt someone elses, unhappy yet real!! attraction to Yahoo on the violations, do not carry your breath in spite of the undeniable fact that, technically any question you ask would properly be considered chat and would properly be bumped off!! a minimum of attraction!!

    Although you did not post the exact question, I must assume that your answer was reported for being offensive and a slap in the face for single mothers. Even though prostitution is absolutely legal in Germany, posting your answer on YC Germany would have resulted in a deletion too, and rightly so since it is rude.

    I'm sorry that happened, but SAM you have no authority to say that.

    No, in America where most of yahoo users live its illegal

    Your answer is too hard hitting. Most women would never consider this an option because their situations aren't life threatening.

    Not an appropriate or acceptable occupation to sell your body. Just like we don't have slaves either. Self respect!
