The Left protests the arrests of prostitution rings in Queens.

[CrusaderFrank]

Do they throw Wallstreet Bankers in Jail for avoiding regulations & taxes? Then why attack the world's oldest profession?

Because it's illegal

 

[TruthNotBS]

They pay their taxes on the tricks they turn? Link?

Heck, even if they didn't it wouldn't matter. They're still generating an income, supporting themselves, and contributing to the economy. Do I have to teach you a lesson in economics? If you own a neighborhood convenience store, you would love it if a well paid escort was living a block away from your store. That's more business for you. She would buy more stuff because she has money. Whether she pays government income tax or not, she's paying sales tax, and other fees, including buying goods and services. Hello? Are you pretending that because supposedly she doesn't pay her income taxes, she's not contributing to the economy? Please, you're so ignorant. Amazing.

That's why it has to be regulated. What part of that didn't you grasp? I'm against street prostitution, but nonetheless, women shouldn't be barred from selling sexual services, if that's what they choose to do, especially when times are rough financially. It should be regulated by the government. Those who decide to break the law, by not following the rules, should be punished accordingly.

Should be?

So, since you think it should be legal you are Ok with ignoring the laws, right?

Of course, the assumption is that regulating will make society somehow better instead of making a societal ill more widespread and accepted.

This is the same city that just tried to put Trump in jail for bad bookkeeping, as they protest throwing sex traffickers in jail.

Don't worry, in about half a year ICE can make an example in the area by flooding it with federal agents.

 

[Moonglow]

Because it's illegal

So is financial fraud yet you claim Trump did nothing wrong.

 

[Moonglow]

prostitution seems to be okay when Trump is a john.

More strawman arguments. I never said that anyone should break the law, concerning sex work. I did say the government should decriminalize sex workers, allowing them to offer their services, within certain legal boundaries. It's called "regulation", and if that occurs then I'm not against allowing women to offer such services. It doesn't matter how I feel about it personally. If a woman decides she wants to sell sexual services to men or/and women, that's their prerogative. I personally believe the ideal is for everyone to have a spouse and only have sexual relations within that context, but unfortunately, we don't live in that perfect, angelic world.

I believe throwing a woman in jail or prison for selling sexual services is much more destructive and inhumane, than allowing her to offer such services, within certain legal parameters. It has to be regulated, as in sex workers receiving regular medical checkups, having the means to prove that they've been tested for STDs..etc. Requiring licensed sex workers to test their clients for HIV and other STDs with a home test. So if you go to the brothel, they're going to require you to take tests on-site, before you "dance the creepy tango", to make sure you're not infected with an STD. If you are, you need to go wiggle it somewhere else, like PornHub, until you're STD-free. That's "regulated prostitution"/sex work.

I'm sorry that you live in a white-and-black world. In my world, there are shades of grey. Reality isn't white and black. But hey, you holy-rollers, think you're the "good guys". The "righteous ones", while you engage and support certain activities that are much worse than a woman offering sexual services on the market. Again, do I like prostitution? No, I don't, BUT, we don't live in heaven, we live down here on Earth.

So, everything is a thousand shades of gray until the Left tells us we should support their endless lists of programs for social justice?

You are a self-righteous twat, while at the same time, admitting in your own way that prostitution is an ill within society.

Hilarious.

 

[KissMy]

Because it's illegal

So is breaking into & taking over homes, but wealthy entitled heirs & corporate officers get away with it for less than paying for a night in a hotel room.

 

[TNHarley]

Let the women fuck for money, FFS. Damn tyrants.

 

[TNHarley]

You record it, paying for pussy is fine. You dont record it, and its a "criminal ring" lolz
Dumb ass religious folks.

Try living next to it?

The citizens there are fed up with the increased crime where they operate.

What should these people do?

I also grow tired of people arguing morality is a thousand shades of gray, until it is a morality they agree with, such as increased personal freedom as being "good".

It does grow old.

No one wants to see their daughter, for example, wind up like this. Everyone can see it's a societal ill, yet refuse to acknowledge it as such.

Living next to it? You could be surrounded by them right now and not know it. The only thing keeping it from being legal is a CAMERA.

You are a self righteous twat.

I'm not self-righteous at all, I believe people have sovereignty over their bodies when it comes to their sexuality, or what they smoke..etc. It's their business, so get out of people's bedrooms, and stop prohibiting people from doing what they want to do with their lives, provided it doesn't undermine other people's freedom. Just mind your own fucking business. If you want to be a religious asshole, believing in a bunch of bullshit nonsense, go right ahead, just don't impose your stupid religious mores on me or anyone else.

As far as social programs, that's why we pay taxes, to receive services from our government. When that infrastructure is lacking, we have more problems. Holy assholes like you are indifferent to the fact that we have almost a million homeless people in America. Your church outreach isn't enough to eliminate homelessness, hunger, and poverty, but the US government can do it. The government can quickly eliminate homelessness and many other social ills, through its policies and programs.

Do you ever listen to yourself?

That, my friend, is YOUR morality based on YOUR beliefs, hence self righteous.

Who cares?

You had me at the first paragraph. You lost me at the second one.
If the govt can do it, why havent they done it? Why have they been trying for decades?
Govt is a failure and fucks up everything it touches.
Change my mind.

Wrong. If I have to pay taxes on my earnings; they should too.

The people living next to it are tired of the crime, which is why they called the police

The police would not have come had they not be summoned.

But per usual, the police are the bad guys as they enforce the laws.
