Should slavery be legalized again?

[martybegan]

That would be better, but you still have the issue of the desire for intimacy and reproducing that leaves you empty inside.

It would be akin to masturbation.

Intimacy can be handled via programming, and men have been getting out of the reproduction game for decades now.

Considering that's all some men have, and you would get rid of prostitution as an outlet, what else is there?

We are at a bad crossroads in human existence, we went from needing 12 offspring so 3-4 survive, to needing 2-3 offspring per couple and having 1 or none.

Talk about an over-correction.

I realize that I'm rubbing against the grain of society when I say these things, but I really don't give a damn. If you had not noticed, the majority of society realizes it is on the wrong path overall, at least, according to polls.. But the truth is, prostitution exposes people to a whole host of pathogens. There is no debating that. It also, in my opinion, undermines the long-held desire for intimacy with another human being that leads to a whole host of psychiatric issues and other such dysfunctions. It also abuses and trivializes the main evolutionary instincts we have to have sex, which is to reproduce.

I dont disagree with that

We probably agree more than we disagree.

Communicating is so God awful difficult.

Taking laws out of the equation, prostitution is just fundamentally wrong.

No one wants their daughter or mother to get into the profession. It is just a universal truth.

I say this taking no stand on how to deal with it on a governmental level

It is like taking heroin. It's just bad, just like prostitution.

We should all be able to say such before arguing on how to deal with these ills within society and stop pretending that the person abusing heroin is not somehow a slave to it and would be better off without it.

Oldest profession in the world

How many prostitutes have you talked to to come up with this conclusion?
Could you tell us their other concerns?

As for daughters and mothers in the profession, there are plenty of things Fathers and Sons should have no opinion in what women do but we are forcing them to do... We get it, the men might be unhappy..

The you compare prostitution to taking Heron... This really disqualifies you from the topic..

Your whole argument is basically nonsense... There are pros and cons to prostitution but you should be the last one asked...

I ask this question knowing that everyone reading it would automatically shout, "NO!!"

However, consider this, there is more slavery today in the world than at any time in human history despite it being illegal.

We have many people today that want to decriminalize a whole host of other societal ills like taking illicit drugs or legalizing prostitution in the hopes of better government regulation or perhaps to quell their numbers. How then would slavery be any different regarding these arguments?

Why not just regulate it?

Slavery in America is alive and well…only today’s slaves are brown and guess who’s telling us we have to have them AGAIN….Yep, Democrats.
“We need illegals or our economy will collapse and the cost of lettuce would break us, they do the jobs American’s won’t, they do it for shit pay and they don’t complain about conditions or time off.”

 

[Zincwarrior]

The argument against the war on drugs is, you can't stop it and it is bigger and badder than ever with it being illegal, so why waste our resources fighting it?

This is definitely an issue with merit on all sides of the discussion.

How then is slavery different?

This is definitely an issue with no merit on one side of the discussion.

False, by the way.

There are sex addicts, but they too are a slave to their compulsions.

If you look at the trajectory of the lives of sex workers, on average their outcomes are poor.

The same could be said of sex addicts.

How many sex workers aren`t drug addicts?

 

[Rogue AI]

Why not? Democrats don't have anything else to run on.

Dems would love that.

That’s basically what “reparations” are. White people being taxed to pay blacks.

why would legalizing it solve that problem?

 

[Obiwan]

Well, as AG, Kamala sent blacks to jail in disproportionate numbers and kept them past their release dates where they could fight wildfires for $1/day.

Sure sounds like slavery to me!!!

Except that prostitution is morally wrong and you should save it for your wife, not some random HIV infected, drug addicted hooker.

Sorry, I should have come to the expert in prostitution, which is you.

Tell us, what are the pros and cons and do the pros outweigh the cons?

why would legalizing it solve that problem?

I'm not saying it would solve the problem.

This thread was motivated by the argument that we should legalize illicit drugs and prostitution that comes from the Left. They argue that we should not use our resources to fight it because you can't stop it. Instead, you should have the state regulate and tax it in order to make it "safer". Ok, what about slavery, especially since there is more of it now than ever before as it remains illegal? Naturally, they can't agree to that because they still know that slavery is inherently immoral. The difference is, they have rejected the notion that illicit drugs and prostitution are also inherently immoral, which becomes a bigger problem within society as they deal with these issues.

The obvious difference being that you taking drugs doesn’t really affect anyone where as you owning another human being….

Republican candidate Mark Robinson says that slavery is not a bad idea, in fact he wishes to have it back.

The black guy's comments on a porn site a decade ago? That definitely means the GOP platform is supportive of slavery....

I can't imagine owning another person. Would we have slave stores with Labor Day Sales with Spectacular Savings! Can I buy a couple of white slaves? May I give them names?

Another crazy issue promoted by NPR? Why are taxpayers forced to support that left wing propaganda source?
