Prostitution.

<<1.I said an independent agency. Not a federal. A federal law would establish the need for one, and I'm positive someone like Hugh Heffner would immediate jump on that to fund it. >> Depending on independent funding? Who's to say that there will independent wealth dropped into this meaningless cause? There are FAR more important things that the wealthy could contribute to. Such as children dying of hunger. What an empty and trite thing to waste money on, that could otherwise be helping something important. So, there would be huge prostitution rallies to raise money? Give me a break. There's a big HUGE hole in this plan. The hole being, the money that wouldn't come to help your cause. Hugh Hefner (if he does indeed support prostitution) won't be alive forever, and believe it or not there are not thousands of people to empty they're pockets for the cause of prostitution. Perhaps men wanting to spend money on sex, not people wanting to spend money for the sex of others. Very unrealistic. < > Yes, it is indeed disgusting, and deplorable. We can make sure not to take steps to make it a reasonable practice. Legalizing prostitution would surely take heat off of such debauchery, and make it more easily over looked. Let's not as American's make it easier for women to be controlled and used. Especially our young girls. < > As I said previously, making prostitution legal does not make all of the negative aspects disappear. There will still be abuse, unsafe and in no way clean or sparkly. The use of American women for sex toys will never be "sparkly" I doubt if YOUR daughter was the once men were paying to use for nasty sex fantasies you would use the word clean, or sparkly. <> You can sell your body for money with class. You might be pretty, and charge a lot of money but it will never be classy. Women demeaning themselves to have someone they don't care for have sex with them is psychologically damaging. No professional Psychologist would say that it is in anyway healthy for a woman's mental stability. Even if a woman say's she's satisfied with being a hooker, she must look at herself in the mirror and be ashamed. Deep down inside of the choices she has made, and the impact she could have on the world, and passed by. This is not the life that promising American women should lead. We are worth far more than being sex objects. Endorsing American women as sex toys shouldn't be an objective of the American government. < > My personal sex life is not up for discussion. Although, having an unknown man, and your lifelong lover is completely different. My husband is the love of my life, not some indifferent passer by paying me for lust. By the by… my husband is a U.S. Marine, and is very handsome, indeed. < > That's the thing, easy money is just that… easy money. Why go to work if you can make $1000 a guy? Just like selling drugs, it's not right… but easier than working at McDonald's to support your family. It's an addictive life style. Money is addictive. It's sad that someone would degrade themselves for drugs, or money. Sadly, this happens every day. Should this be endorsed by the American Government? Certainly Not! <<3.Are you worried about hurt feelings or preventing 500 people from contracting an STD. Priorities lady.>> I am afraid sir, for the degradation of my gender. I am afraid for all the respect women have gained to be dissolved by this back step of character, and couth. I am afraid that women will not always follow these rules you think will ALWAYS be followed. Disease will continue, and thinking otherwise is ridiculous. < > This statement is utterly, and totally wrong. With legal drug abuse, there would still be crime. Robbery, murder, and everything that goes along with it. The type of women wanting to sell themselves for money would continue to be the same. They would still do drugs, still be abused, and still be stuck in a nasty world. Please don't ignore the nastiness of this lifestyle. Legalization would not take the pain and belittlement from they're lives. We must think of these women as our own daughters! Daughter's of America we demand to have respect. <<5. When I say famous people, I say people of note in history. It's been a longtime tradition to use hookers and it only became immoral in recent history, but you wouldn't know that because you didn't read my whole post>> Slavery was a long a longtime tradition practiced by people of historical importance as well, does that make it just? I don't support hookers in any era. It's always been a degrading and wrong practice, and always will be. < > Yes, the Romans made many astrological, and mathematical discoveries. They also watched people killed for fun, legally raped women and boys, pillaged, burned, and conquered towns, cities, and countries; brutally killing countless innocents. Is it just me, of is America slightly more advanced? Yes… I would say that America should be put in a categories above ancient Rome on the Advance-ometer. <<6.The exploitation would end as soon as you remove the pimps and regulate everything like a corporation. A business. >> The exploitation would end, when men stop viewing women of pieces of meat to be had for sex. < > How egotistical can you be? I'm sorry the current system doesn't allow YOU to have the best sexual experience. Perhaps, that's because this is NOT the way things she gone about. It shouldn't be the job of the United States government to insure you get sex. They're job is to ensure safety, and security. If you want to have a safe job, don't be a prostitute. Get out of that lifestyle, and do something to better your community. < > Over and over you've referenced other countries. We, are in America. Not Amsterdam. We do not endorse drug use, or prostitution. We are an intelligent and moral nation. <<8.Your point was that prostitutes attract drugs. If you remove them from the parts of the world that have heavy drug use and put them in clean brothels off the street and don't allow drugs...they would go away.>> Yes, move the brothels to the NICE parts of cities. What a great idea! Perhaps next to a church, or school. This inane notion of yours is ludicrous. C
