    Prostitution should be legal in any society purporting to respect individual rights. There's no escaping this conclusion, and no consideration should be given to whether the voting majority approves or is offended by it.

    The prospects of slavery and exploitation are separate and distinct subjects, to be dealt with in a very narrow fashion, without falling back on a lazy-minded "shotgun" approach that prohibits any activity that could possibly lead to them.

    Yes b/c why should they get money which they might actually need for something they don't (organs once dead)? :blink:

    And yet Pay-Day Loans and Pawn Shops are cool.



    I wouldn't want my sister or daughter to be a slut, but I don't want premarital sex outlawed.

    Or maybe people just think the government doesn't have the right to tell people how they should live.

    Back in the early 2000s, whenever it was that India and Pakistan both sent their armies to the border and it looked like nuclear war was in the offering, I got busted watching a news report. :fun:

    Legalize it, and slap tough licensing and health regs on it.

    I must be weird (sound of abuse in heaps flying toward me through the air) but, I dunno, when having sex I kinda find myself fully engaged in just that.

    I guess I'm just old fashioned that way.

    That's because you've had minimul sex in your life.

    Try screwing three chicks in one day. See if you don't want the TV on with the third one and a sandwich while doing it.

    I've answered the phone many times during a BJ. What the dilly, yo!? :shrug:

    My view on prostitution is this: legalize it, tax it, require that it be done in a licenced brothel, require regular medical exams, but still go hard on streetwalkers (like ten years in prison for streetwalking). Any woman that wants to turn tricks can do it in a brothel. Pimps get prison time if they don't comply with the above.

    Yep. It gets it off the streets. If a woman can't get a job fucking for money in a brothel because she's crudded up or ugly or fat or whatever, too bad. So long as she's on the streets, she can get killed by a john, spread diseases, end up with a pimp, keep turning tricks for drug money, stab a john while robbing him, whatever. You have to give them a reason to not hook on the streets and a 50 dollar fine and time served ain't it.

    In the US, prostitution was never actually made illegal in any given jurisdiction until it became a serious public health issue. Only then were moralists able to keep it illegal.

    I can't multitask. For me sex requires no distractions - no TV, no radio,
    nothing. If cars are going by cool, but no honking horns.
    And a ringing telephone? :( Don't even get me started.

    That's a bit harsh. Believe it or not some people have sex addictions, and others have mental problems.

    There is no way that street walking can be a felony. Just being picked up and not caught in the act...no way.

    Well, considering the fact that most women & most men, consider a BJ a gift you are not what I would call appreciative. At least, that's the way it sounds.
    If it were me you did that to, you would need a penis band-aid. :nuts:


    I'm just saying!

    Dammit, Ted.

    Everyone's on your side here.

    I know you're lurking, you just repped Tamar.

    Answer me like a man. Have a little dignity.

    C'mon, put me in my place.

    Personally I think it should be legalised. After all, porn is legal and porn is essentially prostitution in that people are getting paid to have sex.

    My boredom is hardly breastfeeding. Now if I was stopping it or warning or banning you would be right.

    It's just the same recycled crap. I [/i]like[/i] a good troll. It's just gotta be good.

    It's been three minutes, and that line still doesn't make sense to me. I think it's finally time to sleep.

    PM, much?

    Assuming this isn't a troll (and I know it is--not mad or anything, but it is what it is ;) ), you really don't need all of us peanut gallery chiming in if you wanted an honest answer.

    I'm actually curious why you've decided to join in trolling him though. You missed all the big WTFery, so I'm kind of curious. You just didn't strike me as the troll type with anyone, honestly. :shrug:
