On the one hand we have a large amount of data gathered and analyzed scientifically, and on the other hand we have you saying "think about it!!"
Yyyeeeeeeaaaaaaaah...
Anyone can find any study online that agrees with them. Lol! You can slant the findings of a study to agree with your viewpoints as well. It really isn't rocket science when you cannot make a direct connection and most of it is just assuming that A = B. Silly.
Also, it's just common sense. A regulated industry is going to be safer and have the ability to better track down illegal activities than an ILLEGAL industry. What is hard to understand about that? It's quite simple actually. Having requirements, inspections, etc., is going to be able to efficiently track down and capture those bad guys and would help protect children.

Think about this. So prostitution is illegal and there is no monitoring, so the only time you are catching them, is when they blatantly do something to get caught.
When the industry is regulated, of course there are going to be a LOT more arrests because now this activity is being monitored and it is easier to catch them.
When an industry is illegal, there is absolutely NO monitoring being done.
It's elementary.

Its having sex for money, but on camera.Prostitution is legal. Its called pornography....I think that it should be if it could be organized in a way where those under the age of eighteen are unaware that it is legal.
Do you think that it should be legal? Why or why not?
Thanks for all answers
Why don't you explain how pornography is prostitution. I can't wait for this!

OK.
I would like to purchase 10,000 kidneys.
Please direct me to the cheapest source. Preferably they should be poor and desperate, but healthy.
I want to pay lowest price.
If you want to sell your kidney, you should have the right.
I mean, Shitflinger sold his brain.

The study I cited used extensive details gathered from entire countries where the practice had been legalized, you dope.
The insults aren't necessary, man...I have heard that everything on the internet is not true, so as far as I'm concerned your study is evidence of nothing.
Here where it is legalized in Nevada, THERE AREN'T ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT BEING LEGALIZED!
I wonder why your study cited nothing from Nevada...if it cited nothing from Nevada, WHAT OTHER INFORMATION DID IT LEAVE OUT?

And it always comes along with prostitution. I guess you just don't give a shit, huh?
If "it always comes along with prostitution," why aren't we hearing about those types of problems in Nevada? (Non-rhetorical question; please give an answer.)

Prostitution is legal. Its called pornography.
Point taken...do you know the reason why all states except Nevada make it illegal for a person to sell sex for money (non-pornography prostitution?)
If it were legalized and taxed, I bet that it would make the government alot of money.

....................................
A REGULATE PROSTITUTION INDUSTRY COULD PROTECT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING; THERE COULD BE AN INSTITUTED PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THE SEX WORKERS ARE ACTING OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
If they are victims of human trafficking, they could report their trafficker(s) and be protected from him/her/them.
Like I said, WHY AREN'T THERE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS IN NEVADA?

Wrong question, IMO. It's not whether prostitution should be legal or not for adults. The question is, should ANY activity between adults that does not infringe on the rights of another be illegal? I argue "no". If you're an adult and you're not taking from or hurting another, the law should have no ability to prosecute you.

The central planner wannabes are just SURE they know what's best for everyone else. I disagree.

Those women in Nevada ARE FREE TO LEAVE THE INDUSTRY ANY TIME THAT THEY WANT TO. The article says that they are only complaining about their working conditions like any group complains about working conditions: Fast food workers take to streets to demand 15 minimum wage TheHill .

That isn't even in the same galaxy as "credible."
The Bunny Ranch is a "prison camp?"
Come on, stick to reality.

"Coercive"? That sounds like a NON-consensual activity. As soon as someone is forcing another to do anything against their will, the law can and should step in with the ability to prosecute those doing the coercing. Otherwise, if it's an adult engaging in consensual activity, it shouldn't be anyone else's business.

That still doesn't prove that a process where sex-workers could be asked are they being trafficked and be protected from their trafficker(s) could not be instituted.
