Prostitution

that was me…

Yeah, I could offer a proper response, so why not?

Anyways, legalizing prostitution in a lot like legalizing drugs in some ways. By prohibiting it, it is more of turning a blind eye to the subject matter. With prostitution prohibited, we can still pass reforms for effective screening. Adequate safeguards could be put up to test for STDs, condoms, other diseases, and background checks into “criminal behavior (if the user had a history of sexual violence).” That way, the user and the one that is used don’t run any complications. Contracts to license the deeds could signed if the women does get pregnant.

Meanwhile, the suffering of women who work as prostitutes continues, because they are liable for payoffs made on their behalf by pimps to the police; this means that they can never clear all their debts to the pimps. Furthermore, the scattering of prostitutes (closing of brothels) prevents widespread education about health and contagious diseases. This results in an increasing prevalence of AIDS, which is the most serious threat to human resources in the near future.

Now I find prostitution a horrible thing. It just degrade women, but I agree with the Field Marshall, there is the moral issue. If you don’t like it - don’t do it. If you love your spouse, don’t do it. Also, police often have little effect on prostitutes. In the red light district of Hollywood, prostitutes that I’ve seen arrested by the police are later seen back onto the streets to continue. As long as there is a market for sex (connecting this to Prohibition), then no amount of law enforcement will stop it. It is a huge, waste of resources.

Want to fight prostitution, do it by fighting poverty, often times the root of the problem, not the aftereffects.

If I were a younger man, I would write a history of human stupidity; and I would lie down on my back with my history for a pillow; and I would make a statue of myself, lying on my back, grinning horribly, thumbing my nose at You Know Who. - Bokonon

Go ahead, legalize it. If someone wants to go screw people for money, that means someone wants to be screwed, leave it between those two, thats not a crime.

Isn’t capitalism great.
Oh no, I’ve likened this issue to the evils of capitalism. Heh heh.

plese don’t provok me. i’m not in the mood to explain my political affiliation.

i love those upstream approaches.

Pay no attention to that, it was merely a subliminal message written to attract communist followers in hope to solve prostitution. :smile:

you damn commies!!!
couldn’t we at least pretend that a type of socialism might work as well? (please don’t reply to this g)

when a guy gets a limo, a nice tux, drinks, and pays for prom, how is that not prostitution if you get the desired end???

it is just more money….

Good one! :P Though, I’m way too cheap to afford all of that, even if it is a hot date and I am trying to get to the “desired end”

@TG:

but the cheap way, eh?

If you mean by cheap – taking my date out the McDonalds and sneaking her into a drive in movie aboard the trunk of my FIAT (Italian car standing for “Fix it again Tom”) afterwards, I’m down with that. :wink:

I laughed out loud with that one! (i didn’t say lol because it lost all meaning)

Yeah, I was pretty sure you’d get a kick out of that. 8)

were you worried that it took me time to respond to it???

i’m still working on responding to all of your messages on the bottom, super mega addict!

Nah, even I have a hard time finding time (no pun intended) to reply to your messages.

I know. I worked 8 straight hours (on a computer no less) today, and i just got on now…

i need to lift some weights before i go to sleep…no school and i have less free time!

i think Yanny just gave up!

Ha, lucky you. I still have school to go to. :evil:

what kind of school? i’m not sure if you mentioned it before and i wasn’t listening and scroleld past it, but how old are you?

I keep that my little secret! :wink:
(lets just say the age difference [if any] between you and me isn’t that wide)
