Should Prostitution Be Legal?

[Guest dog14787]

The larger question is, I think, should it be legal for prositutes to own handguns in the District of Columbia?

 

damned if you do, damned if you don't, in some places, prostitutes need hand guns or the bad guys rip off the prostitutes.

 

On the other hand, prostitutes be killing folks and taking all their money

[Guest dog14787]

Is it possible our local Police department could be more tied up with disputes from legal prostitution than they are with illegal prostitution? With an increase in domestic disputes, along with all the problems that will arise from prostitutes being abused, raped or sometimes even killed. ( or prostitutes killing the John I might add ) Its very possible prostitution could need more attention, not less.

 

When we make prostitution legal, we have given every serial killer or rapist a very easy target.

Good lord, just when I thought you couldn't have written anything dumber you trump yourself! You really believe that putting prostitutes in one place would increase crime against them rather than how it's done now! Astounding!

Who said anything about putting prostitutes in one place, what because its legal they are all going to go nicely to one place like sheep, is this what your thinking? What about independents? what about prostitutes who bend the rules? work out of their home? in your neighborhood even? I said attention from the police could go up and you have zero to offer the conversation except calling me dumb? Don't open a thread up for debate, then call someone dumb because they have different views.

Uh....no.

Yeah, cause not of that happens now.

What??? Where do you get that ignorant crap? JHC....you make molson_goldon over on PPP sound rational.

duh, Ok, I'll just take your word for it.

 

Did I say it doesn't happen now?

 

I said the law change would set off a whole new set of problems for the police to deal with, which I'm sure some of you are to dense to even understand.

[Steely Dan]

82% of the people responding to the poll, so far, are for legalizing prostitution. I realize this a man dominated board but I would have to think a majority of the public would agree with it. Once again a small minority makes the decisions for the majority. Just like medical marijuana.

Is that more or less disturbing than the majority wanting to put the government in charge of people getting laid?

I suspect the majority of people here couldn't get laid without some sort of government assistance.

But he would be smart enough to use the proper version of "too". Keep going, post whore.

Prostitution should not be criminal.

Hey the government screws us why not screw them? After all they used to/ or still do own the bunny ranch.

For the police to deal with is right. If he had said the police need to deal with this too. Then that version of too is needed.

It's interesting to note that with 99 votes in it's 17% for no and 83% yes. Why is this such a third rail issue?

Has Eliot Spitzer voted yet?

[Steely Dan]

That's what's so odd. Even someone who doesn't believe it's morally wrong is scared to stand up and say that it's a losing battle that needs to be zoned and legalized. I think it's that too many people are afraid to publicly voice their opinions due to being perceived as immoral but the silent majority exists on this issue.

Did you actually call someone a post whore?

[Chilly]

Did you actually call someone a post whore?

 

A post whore is someone who posts a lot of messages on a forum just for the sake of posting. Someone who posts a large volume but contributes to discussions, such as AD, is thus not a post whore.

Dude, seriously. STFU. Try and figure out which "to" he used incorrectly. There are 3 to choose from. When you finally figure it out, understand that I'm pretty much the last person around here who is going to need your help with ANYTHING. Even you aren't too dense to figure that out.
