Should prostitution be legal?

i did actually…but alas this went over your head….you missed the important fact…
how we view others


it's ok to go to a professional who daily services others needs …but date a slag and she has this connotation surrounding her…

you missed it…and decided to post a bit of anger…

you are not happy…shame really

Happy Christmas…here have a jelly baby..

 

How difficult can it be, if he can enjoy a cushy, part-time job?

 

Very if people don't tell you.
The only way he can actually generate a consensus without input from his constituency is if he goes and interviews everybody he sees on the street.

Democracy requires input in order for it to work.

 

How does that work, with recourse to the resources of our city, county, State, or republic? A cushy, part-time job can only be so, through necessary and proper, delegation.

 

Send a letter or a petition or go to the office that he inhabits.

I mean how exactly is your representative supposed to know where and what needs addressing without people to supply information about those concerns?

And that is what he's there for, at least in my country, I don't know the ins and outs of yours.

 

i don't care. the question was asked "why" and i answered. end of story. while you're not paying cash for it, look over at your wife and daughter (real or imaginary) and ask yourself how you'd feel about them being on the other side of the transaction.

now kick yourself for lying to yourself like everyone that voted yes.

 

Hence why you should raise your daughter in such a way so that she will not become a prostitute. It's not like normal girls will flock to the brothels once prostitution gets completely legal, and it's not like those wanting to be prostitutes can't do it already no matter legal status.

 

I don't think it should be legal. I feel it's only going to increase the prevalence of STD's and unwanted pregnancies. If you want to get your jollies off the internet is sitting right here.

 

classist much?

 

Prostitution should be legal. The girls sell what they have, not what they steal. Those christians who speak against prostitution are selfrighteous sanctimonious deceptive misusers of God's name. They will be punished in hell. What should be illegal is pimps and drugs.

 

Legalizing prostitution also makes it safer, and so it is in the interest of girls. That way law enforcement can concentrate on the really criminal factors affecting the girls' safety. The johns are not it. Shows how ill willed and phony those anti-prostitution activists are.

 

I believe no true capitalist should have any problem with a capital work ethic.

 

Who in the (*)(*)(*)(*) are you to tell other people what they can and cannot do with their own bodies and economic transactions?

 

Not relevant at all. There are lots of things I would not want them to do. It's not my choice. And it's certainly none of your business.

 

Who are you to tell another they cannot have an opinion? That pretty dismisses your concern.

 

You can have all the opinions you like. But your opinion, as it applies to the activities of others, is completely irrelevant.

 

Why does it offend you that Zer0 has a differing opinion to you? The question in the poll is "should prostitution be legal?" and Zer0 answered it.

 

Because I believe in freedom. Anyone who thinks that the government even has the authority to prohibit prostitution does not.

 

lol... really? Prostitution is the gateway to freedom, is it?

 

Prostitution is a consensual transaction of a fee in exchange for a legal service. Ergo, banning it is antithetical to freedom, yes.

 

It has everything to do with the morals of the times, I suppose. Prostitution had been legal for nearly 125yrs, prior to it being heavily regulated and banned from state-to-state in the early 20th century (oddly enough, during the progressive movement). Over the last century, Americans have voted based on their emotions, rather than intellectual thought, which I think can be held accountable for many of our modern-day laws.

I voted yes on this poll, but I still struggle with the moral issues involved. Is prostitution really beneficial to society? I would suggest that it only demoralizes the people, but I honestly can't argue for the validity of banning it. That being said, the opinions of others shouldn't offend you so much that you see it as a personal attack. Just sayin'.

 

Well, if we use metrics obtained from the porn sector, then yes; it has allowed women to achieve a form of equality through pay superiority in that sector when compared to males. The rest merely depends on being the best capitalist you can be.

 

I am still willing to blame the right for their moral turpitude regarding bearing true witness to our own laws regarding the concept of employment at will; we could be solving simple poverty and improving the efficiency of our economy in the process.

 

Is skydiving beneficial to society? We don't measure somethings level of benefit to society before we allow it, by default everything is permitted except those things that can be shown to cause harm. And self-harm shouldn't (but sadly, too frequently does) count.

 

Self harm has the potential to cause harm to society. Suicide results in an investigation and clean-up. Drug use can land you in the street, unconscious, taken to the hospital and treated for an overdose, despite you possibly not being able to pay for it. Prostitution can lead to the spread of diseases (some that are fatal).

Skydiving, as far as I know, is risky, but not harmful to yourself, unless you have an accident... kind of like climbing a mountain or driving a car.
