A shit hole is the last thing Seattle is. It is one of the most beautiful, interesting cities in the country, in the world. You have filth and sickness for a brain and a soul, that is why you find Seattle to be ugly: the ugliness is inside you, it colors the way you see everything, it colors the way you see life. You need psychological help.

There are indeed some pretty hot women who are hookers in Greece.

Wonder with the legalization of pot, how long until someone legalizes prostitution? Navada already does in a couple or so counties. And if making porn is legal, seems a non-difference allowing people not filming the sex to charge for it too. If that's not prostitution then all 'prostitutes' should film their clients and call it porn

Prostitution and pot are legal in the Netherlands. They have one of the sanest, healthiest, non-crime ridden societies in the world. I've been there a few times: it is a peaceful, calm and extremely sane and safe country.

Netherlands is cracking down on both and the eu will soon criminalize the buying of sex while selling it will remain legal

Sorry but Amsterdam where drugs and prostitution is legal, is not the whole of the Netherlands. If anything we could follow the lead of the Netherlands and turn Seattle into a new Amsterdam.

Los Angeles had a thriving porn industry and in 24 hours closed it all down. There are no more porn films made in Los Angeles. How did they do it? A city with such a large porn producing industry just put an end to it in a day.

They legalized it and regulated it. Condoms were required. To make sure condoms were used, every porn shoot had to have a City monitor present to make sure condoms were used. Paying the monitors was the obligation of the production company. They also had to have a permit for each time the camera's rolled, with high permit fees. To make sure the city monitors weren't bought off, there were spot inspections by other monitors to make sure the monitors were correctly monitoring. As soon as the City passed those regulations, the industry was done.

I lived in Austria for 4 years. Prostitution is legal, in the whole country, not just Vienna. They have no problems with it. It is the sane, reasonable thing to do, to de-criminalize prostitution.

As far as the porn industry: no one is talking about the porn industry, in LA or anywhere, so the comments regarding that are off topic, having nothing whatsoever to do with the original post of this thread.

The Netherlands has a huge problem with sex slavery. The girls from eastern Europe are kidnapped and sold into slavery. Much of Amsterdam's red light district was shut down because of this. As always, Thailand is a major supplier of very young children for prostitution.

The legalization of prostitution does help a minority of sex workers, it doesn't help them all. There is virtually no way prostitution can be made fully legal. If prostitution is legal, you can bet there will be a whole raft of laws that will make it as illegal as it ever was.

If you think that legalized prostitution means there is no illegal prostitution, you are delusional.

I have no problem with legalized prostitution. It's just amusing to imagine that it will make prostitution any safer, or that there won't be prostitutes acting illegally.

Look at France and Scandinavia, that's the future. Legal to sell sex, illegal to buy. Women are victims men are victimizers

You ever been there?

It's amazing. Really beautiful. Clean. Well run.

You really should know what you are talking about before you post this sort of silliness.

 

[novasteve]

It's still liberal run and you've obviously never been by the stadium.

Doesn't sound like you've been there.

The "Red Light District" that is so famous, is very small. It's a couple of blocks, at most. It's mostly populated with women from Europe as well.

It doesn't matter where I've been. Legalizing prostitution doesn't work. It doesn't work anyplace. Now you may not know that it isn't working unless you somehow become aware. Nevada has legalized prostitution, why are there still prostitutes working illegally? Why are there still prostitutes working illegally and is this why Austria has become a hub of sex slaves for sale? Especially minors.

ECPAT Global Monitoring Report on the status of action against commercial exploitation of children - AUSTRIA [PDF]

Due to its location at the centre of western Europe, Austria is a country of destination and transit for trafficked children. These children come primarily from Bulgaria and Romania, and are taken to main urban centres such as Vienna, Graz, Linz and Salzburg. The majority are girls, who can earn around 200 Euros/hour, or more, once they are forced into prostitution. Children trafficked for sexual purposes are sometimes also exploited through begging and stealing. Research conducted in 2005 by the United Nations Youth and Student Association of Austria - Academic Forum for Foreign Affairs (UNYSA-AFA), revealed that child trafficking for several purposes, including prostitution, has increased in the country in the last few years.

Does legal prostitution help sex workers? Sure, a small minority. It doesn't help the secretary who engages in prostitution when the financial need arises because she won't get a license nor a medical check up. Should she be arrested as an unlicensed sex worker? How about evasion of income taxes? You know she's not paying taxes on the money she makes in her bar pick ups. How about the pimp who has a stable of drug addict girls. Not only are they unlicensed, they won't demand silly things like condoms. Pay the right price and all the "rough sex" in the world is yours, up to and including broken bones with the occasional accidental death. I would not expect the average person visiting Austria to see these activities. It would be a nice peaceful and very happy country.

However small it was, it is now smaller by a third.

One third of Amsterdam Red Light District closed down

Why was a third closed?

The closure of the 33 prostitution companies is a result of the attempts of the city government to close companies with criminal activities (such as money laundering, drug trade or people trafficking). A law passed in 2003 makes it possible for authorities to revoke a company's license if it is suspected that criminal activities take place.

So legalized prostitution in Amsterdam turned out to be not so legal after all.

You live in Arlington, Virginia, a suburb of Washington DC.

I have always thought prostitution to be illegal because government would have too difficult of a time finding ways to tax the activity.
