Prostitution

[ExtraHye]

If that were the case, you would be their most significant sponsor.

Basically the entire argument in this thread has come down to "prostitution is bad, girls are stupid, so let's make it illegal to protect them from making this huge mistake in life because so many of them are going to go and become prostitutes if it were legal". Obviously I disagree.

Thats not it at all. Sex isn't for sale, no matter if your a male or a female.

Why not? Give me a good reason why your way of thinking on this should be forced on everyone.

Reasons presented so far that I remember:

1) Prostitution bad because many girls are forced into it.
2) Prostitution bad because it degrades the prostitute.
3) Prostitution bad because it destroys marriages.
4) Prostitution bad because it spreads disease.

My answers to these:

1) Being forced is irrelevant to whether it's legal or not.
2) That is the prostitutes choice. People should have freedom of choice.
3) That is something that the married people need to worry about not the rest of the population. Legislate laws to protect marriage regarding marriage itself -- such as outlaw adultery maybe.
4) Disease spreads due to sexual promiscuity. If you want to prevent the spread of disease, you must either:

a. educate
b. monitor and check periodically
c. outlaw promiscuity (good luck!)

We all know c won't happen and in order to achieve a and b it is much better if prostitution is legalized as we have discussed before.

I have a problem with the tyranny of good intentions. Everyone has the "best in mind" for everyone, but that is often the behavior that illicits the worst unintended consequences. Just worry about your own morals and your own life. I think prostitution is bad and wrong, but shyt who am I to try to change the oldest profession?

Just trying to catch up guys...is the issue now if prostitution is good or bad?or is it if it should be legalized.
Like a lotof of things on this planet,it is what it is.
Has been around forever,and will be around forever.
Heaven forbid anyone I know from being desperate enough to get into such a line of work!
I agree 100% that men pay for prostitues because they leave when it's all said and done.
Our opinions if it's good or bad doesn't really matter...like I said it is what it is.

I think we pretty much all agree it's bad. The issue is whether there should be laws against it.

[Anonymouse]

It should be neither legal or illegal, it should just be god dammit.

[MARAL]

aren't there already laws which make prostitution illegal,which get the prostitute and the people using their services arrested?
yeah I know mostly it's the men that get hauled off to jail...they want to embarrass and inconvenience the men,having their cars impounded.if that is what works,well then that is what will be used.

[MARAL]

ANONY, I missed your sense of humor...well it is what you said it should be.
and it still exists...

How did I manage to kill this thread?

"Legal" means it is allowed to be, ass. Stop getting so emotional about it. In order for it to "just be" at this point, it has to be legalized; in other words, permitted by law. It either is permitted or it is not. Holy shyt.
