The World's Oldest Profession by Jairzinho(m): 9:32am On Jan 10, 2010 |
Many times we have heard people refer to prostitution as the 'world's oldest profession'. Going by Bible accounts (GEN 4:2 )however- FARMING - Crop(Cain was a tiller of the ground) AND Animal(Abel was a keeper of sheep) seem to be oldest profession. How did prostitution come to be reffered to as 'the oldest profession in the world' in contemporary writing? |

Well Thats because cain and abel NEVER existed. |

Dreaming (Imagination) is the world's oldest profession, and all other professions rose therefrom. Soon it will be time-travelling (because some interesting people will go to the time before men started to dream ![]() |

Child; Mummy what is your profession? Mum: Honey, i'm a professional dreamer Child; What the fu ck? |

MAVENB0X: Good THINKing right there! *claps* Tudor: Mavenb0x is sort of right, I guess. I don't think she meant it that way. |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Mavenb0x(m): 1:13pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Ancel, don't mind Tudor, whose name is often synonymous with "trouble-maker'. Tudor, in that case, then maybe you need to ask the Mother. She may be an image consultant or a high-profile researcher |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Tudor6(f): 1:35pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Child; Mummy are you an image consultant? Mum; NO! Child: what of a high-profile researcher? Mum; oh hell no! Stay off the bong pipe darling. . .those have got nothing to do with a professional dreamer. Child; Hmmm. . .*marvels at the wisdom of his mother* |

Child: Mummy, is your friend Tudor on crack? Mum: Don't you say I told you so, but I am telling you. ![]() |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Tudor6(f): 2:03pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Child: Mum is ancel using multiple Id's on Nairaland? Mum: Honey, YES. Child: Mum does that make him a hypocrite? Mum; YES darling. . . Child: is he also a criminal mum? Mum: oh yes! And stay away from him! Such characters are EVIL! Child: Yes mummy. |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by ancel(m): 2:13pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
LMAO!!! Child: Is Tudor female? Mother: Is Michael Jackson female? |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Tudor6(f): 3:09pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Child;Mum, what does acel know? Mum; NOTHING!! |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by ancel(m): 3:14pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Tudór: Tudor, I know this is getting ridiculous ![]() P.S. And my name is Ancel. Not Acel. Acel has no meaning as far as I know. |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Jairzinho(m): 3:16pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Deep Sight:it does,cos this misnomer has successfully crept into our common vocabulary & I'm a stickler for facts ![]() Tudór:You can't possibly be female. . . .you're too much of a troublemaker(in a largely good natured way of course ![]() Mavenb0x:lol! |

I found an interesting paper on this. . .

Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Tudor6(f): 3:34pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Jairzinho:But seriously i'm female but just a hyperactive one. . . Substitute she for he, girl for guy and her for him in all my posts then you'd get an idea of who I am. |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by ancel(m): 3:34pm On Jan 10, 2010 |

ancel: If you're not being sarcastic, the poster is arguing that according to biblical accounts (Cain and Abel), farming, not prostitution, is the world's oldest profession. I agree with the OP. The bible indicates that Adam and Eve did some farming even before Cain and Abel. Genesis 2 shows that God caused mist to rise from the earth (most likely the oceans), and watered the plants. His motive was probably so that Adam would have something to chow once he was formed from the dust. Also, the first instructions he ever gave to them was about what fruits to eat and what not to (tree of knowledge etc). P.S. you people please don't derail this thread with this your luvy-duby ![]() |

Tudór:Does that mean you like to do to girls what guys do ? ![]() @OP, I think I agree,but the origin probably has to do with anthropology. . . |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Tudor6(f): 7:54am On Jan 11, 2010 |
^^ Oh hell NO! |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by illusion2: 8:09pm On Jan 11, 2010 |
Tudór:ok. . .thank God for that. ![]() |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by Tudor6(f): 11:55pm On Jan 11, 2010 |
Thank God for what? Are you homophobic? |
Re: The World's Oldest Profession by illusion2: 9:00am On Jan 12, 2010 |
Tudór:Not necessarily. . . . just thinking someone as dynamic as you shouldn't be wasted with a girl ![]() |
