The Debate To Legalize Prostitution

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Some excerpts:

Hof says decriminalizing prostitution takes money out of the hands of criminals, eliminates sex trafficking and combats the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. "You can't stop it," Hof told the Huffington Post. "Prohibition doesn't work and legalization can solve a lot of our problems."

and...

Some advocates look at countries like the Netherlands -- where prostitution is legal. It's even an active and publicized part of the tourist trade in Amsterdam, bringing in about $100 million a year. But Amsterdam officials say legalization did not end crime, human trafficking, money laundering or drug abuse in the city's Red Light District.

and...

"Our research suggests that in countries where prostitution is legalized, there is such a significant expansion of the prostitution market that the end result is larger reported inflows of human trafficking," said Eric Neumayer, Professor of Environment and Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and co-author of the report.

If I were a prostitute (similar to being a mod at S2 ) why would I want to go to an institution, have my sessions taped, give half to the house and then another 40% to the government and have everyone know where I work? I'd rather be an independent and keep every penny tax free. But then, I'm a capitolist.

The answer is harsher penalties for whores, pimps and johns. Not sure what that would be though? Definitely humiliation of the customer. (usually you pay double for that kind of action) I know the joke, I got it

 

[MARIS61]

Legal or illegal, moral or immoral or amoral, you'd think the 95% certainty that your prostitute is carrying AIDS or some other STD would be enough to kill the industry.

Seems to be legal here - http://www.tnaboard.com/viewforum.php?id=6

Well yeah you will still get trafficking. This reminds me of the new show "Moonshiners". There is more profit to be had for going black market. And there will be seekers of the black market because it will cost much less.

Becuase it beats the alternative of being beaten, raped, and hooked on drugs by your pimp. If legalized, you get protection, a place to work where your kids are not in the next room, healthcare, maybe retirement benefits, and more clients (who would go to the institutions becuase the girls would be tested for STDs)

I never understood why it is illegal to sell something that you can do for free legally.

Presuming they all have pimps.

They don't.

And the other things are an occupational hazard. you make it seem like those things are a daily occurrence.

It's ludicrous that it's illegal in the first place. The fact that the government can outlaw physical contact between two consenting adults is plain stupid.

It's funny that you can't go and just give someone 50 dollars for sex, but you can go to a bar and buy a woman 50 dollars of drinks in exchange for sex.

Ah the subtleties of life...

Is it weird there's a poster with the handle 'Tlong' on there?

Or, in the case of Anna Nicole Smith, marry someone for "love" and inherit all their millions.

I'm just wondering how Sly knows about that place.... it doesn't look like it's mainstream

 

[Haakzilla]

...apparently it's also a thriving service here as well --> http://oregon.backpage.com/FemaleEscorts/

 

[Natebishop3]

Funny..... did you see some of those girls? Woof!

Every bit as weird a a UPS driver named MickZagger over there, I suppose. So, uh, Micky, how much do they charge?

 

[Denny Crane]

No victim, no crime.

If there are cases where abuse is going on, arrest, prosecute, etc., to the fullest extent of the law.

And only Maris' hookers have AIDS and all that.

Proph, all I did was click on the link.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

if it was legal more women would become hookers

Fair enough. You are exonerated.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

According to Julia Gillard who stated that "all wives are prostitutes".

 

[3RA1N1AC]

well thats just because if they each fuck 100 people a year, a man is a conquering flower destroyer and a women is a slut
