Legal prostitution:
Actually if strip clubs were illegal the gold digger would have never met the senile old pervert.
Legal prostitution:
What he says. Making it illegal just makes crime and danger worse. It's certainly not improving the situation.Legalize it, closely regulate it to prevent abuse of employees and customers alike, and direct the tax revenue to improving quality of life for all citizens.
Good question Brother, however, the problem you're experiencing is that you are attempting to comprehend/address spiritual matters from a carnal aka worldly/physical perspective. You can't do that.And yet nakedness is a sin according to the writers/spoken word storytellers of Genesis 1, given that Adam and Eve don't notice their own until after the metaphorical attainment of moral knowledge.
Why were they ashamed, if the human body is inherently good?
Why does the oral history recorded in Genesis 1 take the tone that they SHOULD be ashamed of their nakedness, if the human body is inherently good?
Why are you quoting the Bible in a thread on the Politics board?
All this and more, next time, on Battlestar Gallactica.
ROTFLMBAO!I've never sought a prostitute, but I see folks on COPs get busted all the time. If i ever did seek one, I would agree on a situation whereby, we are adults and decide to have relations. I will loan the woman 500 to be repaid in 50 years, IF we are still in touch.
That eliminates prostitution, 2 adults have consenting sex, and the john gives a personal small loan to be repaid in 50 years, no interest. The money and the sex are 2 separate things. :devil:

Is it my imagination or is Buzzword ignoring me?
Sheesh, he wanted to talk about the legalization of prostitution, and here I is to talk about it.
(I wonder if Buzzword knows that I'll bring up the millions and millions of women, children and even men that are enslaved by prostitution rings throughout the world, including here in the United States and is avoiding me for that reason?).
Government has a duty to protect the well-being of society, and by any measure prostitution is detrimental to society. It should NOT be legalized.
It might be acceptable to permit prostitution if criminalizing it would produce greater social evils.
I don't know how this applies to current historical circumstances.
Against. While a well-managed, legalized form is better than shady, illegal prostitution - the fact remains that sex produces children. This is its primary function. Contraceptives and pills may reduce the probability of having a child - but ultimately they only work so well. Now what does the mother do? She can't exactly go and marry whoever is the father. She likely doesn't even remember them. And a child isn't generally going to be good for such business. There is a good chance she will thus seek an abortion. Even if she keeps the child - the child grows up in a broken household with a lot of strange men coming over all the time for their mother.
Also - socially accepting prostitution as a valid career will inevitably push women (and men) into that line of work who don't desire to, but need money. "You want welfare because you can't find a well-paying job? But you are pretty - you could make money as a prostitute instead! Therefore your application is denied - get to work."
I don't think it should be legalized.
I do not think prostitution is a good thing.
But... I'm interested in what secular case can be made against prostitution. It seems that, in our current cultural climate, the issue is bound to find its way to the supreme court, leading to its nation-wide legalization.
How might the opposition make the case against it?
I don't think eating fatty hamburgers and greasy fries for every meal is a good thing but I wouldn't make it illegal.
So why is prostitution (mostly) illegal?
Selective outrage

As Tradito would say, this is a non-sequitor.
Because millions of people have been used as illegal slave labor in the past, we should therefore make employing anyone in a job illegal? Does not compute.
