I agree..seems innocent enough..now ''pornography'' can give rise to sex crimes, rape and even murder..

It depends on which pornography you mean...

Basically I think it is a man thing...women who look like blow-up dolls..it's fantasy..and a bit sad!!

Aside from the issues I have with that statement, another question: Are you for or against gun ownership? I mean, if looking at porn can cause murder, what would a gun do?

I should note that I'm pro personal responsibility. That applies to guns, porn, whatever. I blame the person for their actions, not the object they use or the porn they watched beforehand.
 
What if you had no other way to make enough money to feed your children? And if the law tried to stop you from making the money you need to feed your children, even threw you in jail and made you give THEM money for selling your own body? How would you feel about that?

Prostitution in Holland is like any other job..hey..you pay taxes..

I should think that when you decided to follow this path it was easy money..as long as you could stomach it..but once you start making money I should imagine it is very difficult to *ahem* leave!!
 
I'd rather have them sell themselves for their drug money than rob and mug innocent people.

You don't get it..do you??

They take drugs to carry on whoring..

They need to whore to pay for their drugs..

So what? As long as they are adults, not being abused or actually forced into anything, I really don't care. Who do you think you are to make decisions for other people about what they do with their own bodies?

YOU don't get it. If it weren't for whoring, they would be robbing and maybe even killing to get their drug money.

This is retarded.

As in both guns and porn..you only need to have someone with a mental issue and they can both be killers..

You can buy a gun in a shop anywhere in America..the dealers don't care who they sell them to!!

I used to own a gun..I don't now...because I have nicknamed them ''the last word''...altogether too easy..
 
Really..how many whores have you known??

Good Lord!!! Prostitution has been around since people have been around?!!! I don't HAVE to know any personally to know that drugs are certainly NOT the only motivating factor when it comes to selling yourself.

And as a matter of fact, if we went with your ridiculous views, we might as well make gold diggers criminals too! Don't marry a man for his money because that basically makes you a prostitute too.

Until you have known anyone who sells their body for money...it might be better if you didn't comment on things you know nothing about...

And I guess if you did marry a man for his money..that would make you a prostitute....
 
Even though prostitution is strictly regulated in Holland..monthly medical check-ups etc..do you really think these women stay because they like it??

If you are asking about my opinion then I think it all depends how they begun the profession in the first place. In a documentary that I saw for instance Gypsy women of Bulgaria I think wanted to pass borders illegally and enter the business of prostitution. These were the beginnings of human trade as I recall. In another documentary I saw professional escorts whose price was thousands of dollars per night. They proudly declared that this was their chosen profession on the documentary.

But if forced to, drugged to, coerced to, etc, then I do not think they like it. Further I do not think that they should stay neither.

This is as far as my opinion. Whether they really are there by choice or force though should be revealed by a smart anonymous research.

I ran a Gypsy campsite just outside Paris..we had some tziganes who were professional pickpockets...and also bought babies from Bulgaria..rubbed faeces into their eyes repeatedly..which eventually resulted in blindness...

Said a blind baby got more money when they they were begging...

You reminded me. Drugs are a disease of the rewarding system. The pleasure your receive say in an orgasm is artificially activated through some drugs influence. The pleasure takes real form with dopamine. Hence it reinforces the behavior to continue to do it for dopamine. But the brain knows better and tries to stop this artificial influence and reduces pleasure. At which point more drugs are taken to satisfy the feeling. This leads them to death from an overdose eventually for each have their limits how much drugs (i.e., poison) they can take. So there is a threshold you see.

You mentioned death and reminded me of an extreme treatment I heard. It is an underground one carried out by a visiting underground doctor that travels all around. He issues a drug that oversensitizes the brains intake of most pleasure inducing drugs. Analogically speaking his drug lowers that threshold so as even a minute smallest dosage of a drug will kill the drug addict.

So what happens is that he records his "clients" agreeing to take the drug. Issues this special drug. Later on front of the camera gives an incredible small dosage of the same drug the addict was using. This nearly kills them, but the underground Russian doctor revives them with all means he knows how (i.e., there is risk with this extreme treatment of course). All the revival steps as well as the addicts death is recorded and issued back to the addict with a DVD. Then the doctor leaves it to the addict whether to commit suicide or not with drugs (irrelevant the dosage due to oversensitization).

These girls sound like they are working underground. They might contact him somehow. Better than the actual "bullet in the head" solution as you mention I would say.

Inhuman, lower than animals, pieces of dirt!

I have seen similar behavior though sadly. They tightened the wrists of the babies they grabbed hold somehow (perhaps their own also!). Due to lack of blood the gangrene would take over. During gangrene the babies cries would be used to invite greater number of money from the audiences. At some point they would cut the babies hand, this too is capitalized upon to increase the odds of charity.

We resort to shooting dogs when too many of them walk around and become a risk to us living here. In Spain they use to shoot beggars. I swear when I hear these treatments of babies...

No DDD..these girls are not working underground...it is a fact of life for them...

But I can't understand auto-erotism..i.e.depriving yourself of oxygen..hanging yourself from a hotel door (michael hutchence from INXS) a beautiful young man who died for his vices..

For me, this has nothing to to with sex..and everything to do with self gratification!!

Oh so they do not want out! I thought they were stuck with both by being drug addicts and prostitutes.

Well if they do not want out then where does the "bullet to the head" comes from? I thought they were looking a way out, there was no way out, and were contemplating suicide! Hence a solution was proposed.

Who wants the "bullet to the head" then? You shooting them?

I didn't say ''want out''.I inferred couldn't get out...do you know how difficult it is to get away from a pimp??

No, I do not know the intensity and the means required to do away from a pimp. How would I know that? Why do you not tell then?

A lot more difficult than it would be if the pimp needed a licence, paid tax, and was subject to industry regulations......

Why do I not tell what?

They know it is the sex industry..not very nice..

They must understand the danger they are in..letting strange men screw them...and relying on other men to ''protect '' them..

Tell how difficult it is to escape a pimp? That is what we were talking abut were we not?

Besides, how do you know so much about all this?

Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world..

And has always been run by men..who are not altogether lawful...In Holland..the whores are inspected for medical diseases..the pimps just allegedly rent them cubicles..yeah right!!
