Prostitution.

< > So, this would be so important for the American government to spend millions of dollars on? How about our school systems or ANYTHING else for that matter that would actually HELP our country. What about the independent street prostitutes? There would be so many undocumented sex selling vagrants wondering about the streets, it would be impossible to keep up. Not only that, but what about sex trafficking, underage prostitution and abuse of these working girls? There would be a mentality of, Well, it's legal, so we're really not going to pay very much attention to it. We're talking about legalizing a horrible lifestyle of drug use, neglected children, abuse, and depression. < > There are prostitutes right now having sex with nasty men breathing , and sweating all over them that they find repulsive right now. They don't like it. They are doing it for money. Why? They are probably lower class, uneducated women that got pulled into a world that they cannot escape. It's all fun for the person getting the sex, I'm sure. This is not an industry that you go in, punch your time card, work, go home, and bake a cake. There's an ugliness that your choosing to ignore. Women and men are not toy's to be used. <> Out of circulation? These are human beings we're talking about, not cattle. These women deserve better than to be in some kind of sick, sexual circulation. Having a whore house in my town is not an option. Please, don't try to deceive people into thinking that all the problems of this industry will simply disappear with legalization. It would make the related crimes soar. Which leads me to my next point… < > As I said before, with prostitution comes abuse(mental and physical), sex trafficking, drug abuse, which in turn attracts drug dealers, which bring crimes such as burglary, murder, kidnapping, you name it. Not to mention, legalizing prostitution would allow innocent children to live seeing they're mother's sell herself for money. This, could possibly lead to child abuse, and rape. < > OH, famous people you say? What does that have to do with ANYTHING? Just because your known, doesn't mean your allowed to set the standard for reasonable conduct. Plus, if you were able to ask those people if they were PROUD of the fact they solicited sex, what do you think they would say? < > Never, have I said you are bad for wanting sex. What I think is bad, is the exploitation of women for it. This should not be legalized. < > So, you just said it yourself. A derogatory comment towards prostitutes. Do you think making this practice legal, it will change the ideals we have about prostitution in this country? Please, don't fancy that all of a sudden beautiful women will decide they want men to be able to pay to fornicate with them. Classy ladies won't all of a sudden take the place of these "skanks" as you so lovingly call them. That term just proves that everyone looks down on these girls. < > There is absolutely NO WAY to insure this, and frankly the money spent to try would be a waste, and should go to something FAR more important. Such as schools, firemen, or… anything else. < > They're illegal because they're wrong. They ruin peoples lives, and towns. They're both disgusting and should not be tolerated by our government. My children surely will not be exposed to such filth. < > Please excuse me for not caring in the LEAST if you can find a clean hooker. This is laughable, and is handled by the government now as it should. It's illegal. < > It WILL happen, and it will happen often. This would open the flood gates to dark and , disgusting practices. Yes, there is a child sex trade. It's perverted people buying sex that keep it fueled. Why allow this perverted world to grow and flourish in the United States? We are far to advanced a nation to take such a step back. < > Please don't try to bastardize my words. The greed, and need for money is evil. My husband and I raising our family is not. Your grasping… < > Umm… let's not talk about my personal sex life, thanks. Have some couth. < > We're not talking about people being stupid for having sex. We're talking about the legalization of a degrading lifestyle. Oh, a high class hooker has a college degree? How many women are stuck in a brothel as a sexual slave right now? Making prostitution legal wouldn't fix this. It would make it easier to cover up. Yes, Google. I'm talking about real life. Not ask jeeves. Women being disrespected, and USED, and America allowing it. People don't want brothels in they're towns. I'm sorry your not having enough sex. Please, take a minute to think of all the lives that this lifestyle hurts. There's a bigger picture here. If you cover an old house with paint, it's still an old house. Meaning, you can make prostituion legal, but it will still be a disgusting world that women are abused in. Whatever spin you want to put on it, it will never be good, or right.
