So you're saying that prostitution isn't affected by conventional economics? This article disagrees with you. As a service, prostitution would face the same economic pressures as anything else. Too much competition without an increase in demand would mean profits would tank.Sup I said:

There really aren't. There are a lot of acceptable arguments against prostitution as it currently exists. Many of the scenarios people present simply aren't the case in countries and places where prostitution is legal, and they provide no reasons to believe that it would not be the case in the U.S.antipunt said:
This isn't to say that they aren't persuasive, but they aren't logically good arguments.
I'm not sure I've ever understood it either. Porn is legal. Why not prostitution?
It's going to happen either way, so I personally think it's better to have it monitored by the government than fuel crime and put women at risk.
Also, sad though it may be, there are going to be people out there who need to pay for sex. Whether it be because of a disability, a mental handi cap, disfigurement ect there are some people who are unlightly to find themselves a partner. Are these people to be denied one of the greatest human pleasures?

its immoral because the majority of prostitutes are victims, either of drug abuse or circumstance.Eldarion said:

and obviously illegal in many other countries because women get exploited. and don't think people care if they get exploited. just fuck away.
it is a real profession but many many times it's women being forced to have sex with men by other men.
I think laws that harm only you should not exist. Who gives a flying fuck what Johnny does with his Saturday night. Only laws that can kill others should remain. If Johnny gets his kicks with a hooker and catches an STD, whatever, he shouldn't have done that. Should he get his girlfriend infected, that chick should have known he was with a hooker and he should have told her he had an STD.
If you smoke weed, whatever, if you crash your car, get to jail.

My apologies for snapping then. This is one of my pet internet debates so I get touchy about it. Again, my apologies.Aylaine said:
For all those that say it's just adults having consented sex it's not entirely true. Usually the women are abused or illegal immigrants. It's very hard for a women to leave the "business" because the pimp will want to make sure that they don't go around telling the police about his "business". The men having sex with a prostitute will sometimes insist on having no protection, thus paving the way for the woman to get STD's and possibly pregnant where they will have to abort the baby (mental trauma) or effectively have no income.
By making prostitution illegal it cuts down on those problems of women being mistreated.
As for why child labour is bad (my god, you all quote posted my mailbox to death) it's because of some of the conditions that are placed upon children when they are working. Instead of getting education or enjoying life, they are working and trying to earn money (at a much lower rate).
Now a parent getting his 10 year old to mow the lawn isn't immoral because 1. They are paid more (generally) 2. The work can be overlooked by their parents so no problems will occur 3. Child labour is classifed when a business uses children as a labour force.
