Should Prostitution Be Legal In America?

[Mr. Ofo Oao]

Oh...children know porn is legal; how much different is prostitution from porn?

 

[rightwinger]

If you can give it for free, why can't you sell it?

The only problem that I can think of is children growing up knowing that it is legal...how would that (children knowing) be dealt with?

Children eventually learn about sex

...

Do you think that it should be legal? Why or why not?

NO, because I give a shit about women and society in general. Incredibly stupid idea.

Overheard this morning while grabbing a quick McMuffin before work

Two women reading the paper and chatting

"Damn, I'd sleep with an old dude to get my hands on an I phone 6 today"

See, who says prostitutions illegal.

So you got her the phone then what happened? lol

Ain't sayin, and I doubt there's an app for that!

So male prostitution is ok?

No.

I suppose putting out after an expensive dinner and a movie should be out the question too?

Yeah, legalizing it probably wouldn't be any different for children than cigarettes, alcohol, porn, and marijuana (WA & CO) being legal.

Could you elaborate? I'm not understanding?

 

[HenryBHough]

Prostitution is legal in Nevada, at least in parts of it. Notably the part where Harry Reid nests.

Consider how well that has worked out and think hard.

Yes. Regulate it, tax it, and use the money to pay off our debt.

I agree that it would make alot of money if it were taxed but what do you say to the idea of children growing up knowing that prostitution is legal?

I would say, so what? Besides, prostitution is already legal in certain places in Nevada. Children are more likely to see prostitutes walking the streets illegally then they would if it was kept to confines of legal destinations. I remember seeing them as kid walking the streets of Liberty Avenue.

Worrying about if children will find out if something is legal or not is kinda silly. When it becomes legal the stigma goes away

Exactly.

As we all know, the foundation of any successful society is based on illegal prostitution.

because adults who arent hurting anyone should be able to do what they want

I agree, but should children grow up knowing that in their society, prostitution is legal? If so, why should they?

Prostitution is currently legal in some jurisdictions, rendering your question moot and irrelevant.

That prostitution is criminalized in most jurisdictions is ridiculous and pointless, of course; the fact that it flourishes although illegal is proof of that, where prosecuting prostitution is a waste of law enforcement time and resources.

Peace,

That wasn't precisely what I was doing. I was concerned about young girls growing up knowing that prostitution is legal...but I can agree that it probably wouldn't be any different for children than porn being legal.

First, if its between consenting adults, of course it should be legal and safe.

Second, its up to parents to keep their kids from what they don't want them to know. Keep them home, home school them, no TV, no computers, socially crippled and poorly prepared for the real world.

Oh, so kids don't know about cigarettes, alcohol, porn, and marijuana?

Well then, just do the same thing with prostitution that worked so well with cigarettes, alcohol, porn, and marijuana.
