Wrong.... most women are prostitutes because of drug issues or mental (many were abused when younger)

This is not freedom of choice

Get these women help if they want it, but don't legalize it

That opinion of yours is false

I have done work in the inner city with women and studied the subject. I think I know far more about it than you....

I read your thoughts on the subject on another threead. In your definition of a prostitute, it is a woman who gives it up to some guy who buys tham drinks or dinner....I am sure that thses types of women, while easy, would call you out big time for calling them prostitutes.

Feel free to educate yourself and don't hold your breath about it being legalized

It sickens me that I'll soon have to explain to my children that their futures will be paying others to sleep all day and eat for free.

Prostitution IS legal in Nevada. Prostitution is a state issue, not one for the federal government to say either yea or nay.

FWIW prostitution was looked upon with much greater tolerance in the Old West days and in the early days when Alaska was still a new American possession.

You just keep right on with the sl.t-shaming, it's bound to work in the right's favor eventually.

That being said, in a proper legal framework, I have no issues with legal prostitution. Short version: Prostitution is legal, pimping is very much not, the income is taxed in part to provide for medical checks. Serious penalties for stuff like pressuring people to prostitute themselves.

But if two people voluntarily agree to boink for whatever reason, including a financial transaction, and they're both of legal age and sound mind? None of my business.

I guess there's a lot of homely guys in the Netherlands who aren't good looking enough to get sex for free. Why have to pay for sex, if you're good looking enough to get it for free?

Keeping people off of welfare.

Make women on welfare work in brothels instead of leaching off the public tit. In Germany, which is a much more generous welfare state than the US, a woman who refuses a job in a brothel loses all of her benefits.

What man in his right mind would want to have sex with a fat, wrinkled old woman?
