Poll: Prostitution

[LostInTheCosmos]

Eh, no, not exactly. If a minor wants to participate in that sort of thing for her friends, then I have no problems with it.
If it's uploaded to the Internet... Well, that's very, very edgy, especially if the minor didn't upload it him/herself.

kids make poor choices, and lack wisdom to make proper decisions about adult situations. no child should be encouraged to think of themselves as a sexual tool not because of any moral or religious opinion of mine but because one thing is very certian, any child that DOES start to view themselves as having worth only through their sexual nature is getting a highly skewed world view and puts themselves not so much as risk from their peer group (though as is often the case, there is a HUGE danger in that arena) but at risk from the rest of the Adult population, an adult population that is more than capable of taking advantage of that childs lack of wisdom.

the most ignorant adult is many times more clever than the smartest child (unless the adult is truly retarded or has a learning defect of some kind).

Took the words right out of my mouth!

if it is legalised then people will have the option of going to a regulated brothel or a place wher the women are part of the sex slave industry. and to be honest given the choise everyone would choose the former. ia guy who runs the latter would probaby have no arguament attacking you and stealin all your money. this wouldn't happen at the former if it was well regulated

Here's my logic... Selling is legal... Fucking is legal, so why isn't selling fucking legal?

I say it should be legal one one, big condition.
It must be regulated. As in, a license to be a prostitute, no STDs allowed, regular checkups, and taxed.
Problem solved, now on to fixing the economy...

I agree with the above post. Morally speaking, there's nothing inherently wrong with it, just like there's usually nothing inherently wrong with any profession. The whole STD thing and the concept of paying for sex, though, is what has people bothered. Get rid of the STDs, and the problem's half solved.

Out of curiosity, how do those laws in Amsterdam work concerning prostitution? I've never heard of it ever being legal *anywhere*.

Legalizing, regulating... no pun intended... and taxing prostitution would fix most economies.

What pisses me off:
Everyone flips out on women who sell themselves.
It's their damn choice.
Let them do it.
Who are you say shit about them?

This is one of the single best posts I've seen on the subject.

why no booze? what i mean is why not just shut down ALL places you can get booze? after all people clearly arent smart enough to make ANY decisions for themselves and we NEED a government to tell us how to act and when we can do something.

Attack of the old posts....

Because with booze, you get the added bonus of big horny nutsacks who are also inebriated. I think it's a safety call for the girls.

thats what bouncers are for. ive worked in bars for years as one and trust me the hookers wouldnt be in any more 'danger' than your average bartender is. if anything, drunks are easier to manage than sober people.

now if you made the case that 'who the hell wants to have sex with a drunk?' than i could see your point *smirks*
