Cool, but how do you feel about being faced with the idea of being forced to work as a prostitute yourself if you want to qualify for any type of benefits, like unemployment?

Same for your kids, how do you feel about them doing it?

I see you chose to ignore it, so here it is again. It will be a legal job, and we know a lot of recent college grads are having problems finding a job just flipping burgers. Since you like the idea so much, do you like it for yourself and your family?

Why do you like it so much? Cant find a partner for free? Im not being agressive here at all, just curious. Thanks.

Normally a person can get their working papers at 14. This is a viable career for 14 year olds too? Summer job type thingy?

Will laws concerning pedophilia need to be adjusted?

Well, I voted it was wrong. I also asked a bunch of questions regarding how things would change - could change - or need to change - if it became a legal job.

Yes, Im serious, lol.

EDIT: Of course, one can foregoe applying for unemployment, if they get laid off, and collect bottles and stuff if they dont want to do it.

Much like bar workers - the laws dont necessarily need to changed regarding pedophilia. But, how low are we willing to go with this? How much morality has American Society lost?

I realise a single college kid might find it cool on the surface - but also might not realize that cool usually equals stupid.

The thing that has kept out of trouble in my life is considering the ramefications of something. These are just questions envolving possible ramefications.

Actually it is quite aggressive and you seem to be grasping at straws here. Are you really comparing someone soliciting sex to working as a burger flipper? I know being a burger flipper is looked down upon but has nowhere near the stigma or risk of being a prostitute. You seem to be thinking that by me taking the stance that prostitution should be legal that I will openly promote it to everyone I see. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's promoted or advertised as something cool and hip but just legalized.
As for that 14 year olds comment, that is just ridiculous. As I said in my previous post;

Regulation, regulation, regulation. Provisions set in place making it illegal for people under a certain age to sell sex.

Some people seem to think that when something becomes legal, all hell will break lose and there will be no restrictions. "There will be prostitutes on every street corner in the U.S., 6 year old little girls will be soliciting sex in masse (yuck), it will be hell on earth I tell you"

Legal or not, prostitution, and soliciting it will never be socially accepted by mainstream society so this idea that it will open up Pandora's Box is just paranoia. Bottom line is two consenting adults should have the right to do what they want behind closed doors and deal with the repercussions of those actions alone.

Actually its not quite agressive. Did you feel offended? Why would you feel offended by being asked a question that was clearly based on how you are all for it.

I can agree prostitution will always be out there in some form. I can agree with what 2 adults do behind closed doors is there business.

You still havent answered my questions though. If you dont want to, okay. *shrugs*

You still havent said how it benefits you to be all for it, nor how it will benefit society. How do you know nothing but the fact that it will be legal will change? The legal age of something as simple as drinking different forms of alcohol has changed quite a few times in my lifetime.

Only sex or kissing is cheating. Its not cheating if the man gets a massage, lap dance or happy ending since he isnt having sex.

Your wife (current or future) will be thrilled to know you feel that way.

"What's wrong, dear? That tall hot young guy with the hard muscular build only gave me a full body massage, followed by a cute strip tease, and lap dance. Dont look so cranky. It's not like we kissed or anything."
