knows petras secret: she farted.
for sure! take a look at over in amsterdam and such. thats how u do it. though ive never been with a prostitute, im all for legalizing it. it only makes sense.
Playing Devil's Advocate for a second...
Would legalizing and decriminalizing Prostitution do more harm to women's future? Would it simply create a legal "meat/meet" market where Women are traded exactly like cattle until they "age out" of the business?
Would too many girls look to prostitution as a legit post-high school "trade" vocation until...marriage?....college?....
Also, isn't it reasonable to assume that there would be a large increase in out-of-wedlock births/deadbeat dads, paternal lawsuits (shakedowns)?
Basically...would there be more "negative consequences" even though we think we're taking a giant positive step forward (legalizing paid sex)??

Hookers!!! Yeah!!!!
legalizing is a great idea, dead beat dads are alwayss gonna be out there, but maybe this will be a good escape for girls. Prostitution can be a stepping stone to a great career in porn, modeling, acting, or it may just help them get on their feet to pay for college. this is just a great idea I think.
I think they should. Why not? :dunno:
It's a local decision ...
Nevada has legalized it, although Las Vegas outlaws it within its borders. It's really up to states, and not a federal decision at all. I think people forget that in the US. The only time the US federal government can make any case is when its a civil rights issue, and that backfires on that aspect.
As far as the Churches comment, I don't think people realize that not all church operations are tax exempt. Churches also have some limitations in how they receive or are part of anything that has anything to do with public funds. Sometimes there are really thick ironies in this matter. E.g., non-profit hospitals owned by churches have some really stupid restrictions that for-profit units right next to them do not.

Of course it should be legalized. Keeping it illegal is condemning lots of men who are either physically unattractive or socially inept to a life of virginity.
Isn't that like a shitty copy of Vegas?
I'd vote to legalize it. But as Petra pointed out, with the general mindset being as it is in the U.S at this point in time, it isn't gonna happen on a widespread scale.
:wtf:

In all honesty, like abortion, medical marijuana and legalized doctor assisted suicide (in some states)...legalizing it will make it safer for everyone involved.
Will there still be crime involved with it? Yup. Will there still be murders associated with it? Without a doubt. Will people still do it illegally to stay under the radar of the rules (probably tax related though)? Sure. However, how many lives will it save?
But to take a step in this direction, as Americans, we first have to acknowledge the industry does exist and that sex does happen. We need to stop freaking out when Janet Jackson "accidently" shows her nipple during the Superbowl or someone says "fuck" on the radio. As a nation we need to step off our moral high horse, pull our head out of the sand and do something about it vs ignoring it. And will this ever happen? I'm not going to hold my breath.
Me either. In a country where stem cell research is a major controversy, where a woman's right to choose isn't a given, where gay people can't get married, and where fundamentalist Christians are an immense power base, the generalized legalization of prostitution isn't even (imo) a blip on the radar screen.
Rhetoric v. reality ...
About the only real threat to Roe v. Wade right now is the private legal case where the man is trying to dissolve himself from child support when he didn't agree to have the baby well before it was born. Right now the government cannot force a woman to have and be responsible for a child, but the government can force a man to. It's setting a very interesting legal precedent. I think the guy is slime, but it's scary when both women's advocate groups and the religious right see eye-to-eye, and every lawyer I know says this sets a dangerous precedent for Roe v. Wade.
Otherwise, no federal or state entity can seem to override Roe v. Wade, which is a clear US Supreme Court decision that is absolute. The government cannot force a woman to live with a mistake for over an 18 year term. It's the same reason why parental consent requirements for abortions by a minor are also Unconstitutional, because they affect the minor in majority and when her parents are no longer responsible.
Also remember that some of us see that "personal liberties" are intertwined with "fiscal liberties." It's one of the reasons I actually like Nevada, Florida, New Hampshire, Oregon and a few other states.
Actually, it's not. Government-funded stem cell research in the controversy, not privately funded.
Actually, it is a given. I don't know where you're getting your legal information from.

Yes and no. Yes, they can have civil unions in more and more states. But no, they cannot have a state-sponsored title of marriage.
As are bleeding heart liberals, those with self-fulfilling prophecy government jobs, the church of popular environmentalism, etc... Anyone who doesn't let you question with specific, pure or applied science is a problem, especially when their own knowledge is very limited, and they blindly believe others without questioning. It goes and applies all ways.
Depends on the state you live in. Some US states are more free than others.

Re: Rhetoric v. reality ...
Among "people of faith" this issue goes far beyond matters of funding.
The fact it's legal doesn't mean it's a given, as in universally accepted. As we all know Roe vs Wade remains one of the most controversial, divisive issues in this nation.
If they cannot have a state sponsored title of marriage then there's no "yes and no", simply a no.
Those aren't demographics that are highly likely to oppose legalizing prostitution, so your point, if you're looking to make one here pertaining to the subject, is lost on me.
I said "generalized", meaning at minimum the majority.
