No, I don't think it should be legal.
But since it's legal in Nevada it must be a state's right to decide on the legality. Right?

And legalizing it and regulating it would prevent some of those things from happening. Plus, one of the biggest reason prostitutes are abused don't seek help is because what they are doing is ILLEGAL. If it was legal, these women would have more options to escape if they so choose. Right now it's an unregulated industry, so nefarious things are naturally going to happen. My biggest concern is for little girls as opposed to grown women though.

Of course it won't..I go to Amsterdam quite frequently..it is very regulated...from the 14 yr old schoolgirl to a 70 yr old Granny..all available in shop windows...and all working for Turkish pimps..
 
Time for our regular "should prostitution be legal" thread again, I see. :lol:

Yes, it should be legal, licensed and regulated. Safer, cleaner, better for both prostitutes and their clients. With proper zoning, of course. A brothel alongside a strip club or adult bookstore shouldn't be a problem.

Sorry, but your "word" isn't good enough. Seems like you have been all over the world actually and a personal story when it comes to just about every scenario. :roll:

This thread is nuts...what about pimps...who have a stable of girls..who get beaten up on a regular basis if they don't comply..They get them addicted to drugs..then they have to ''work'' to buy more drugs..

No more than a meat market...

Which is why the regulations that would result from legalizing prostitution are a good thing.

Men who use prostitutes should be ashamed of themselves..

How can you OK the total abuse of women??
 
Keeping it illegal does NOTHING to help the girls. Nothing at all.

Regulation would prevent women from being forced into the business. They could also feel free to seek help without being prosecuted on prostitution charges.
 
It's not always the prostitute who is the victim of violence in this industry either. A lot of times customers are beaten, robbed and killed too.

This is the only time I'm going to respond to you, since your question was inflammatory and inappropriate to the post you quoted. I am not okay with the abuse of women. Forcing women into prostitution or any other situation against their will is now and always will be a crime. However, a woman (or man, for that matter) who chooses to earn her living as a prostitute should have the right to do so, subject to licensing, health, and other regulations.

No, it's you who supports the abuse of prostitutes by keeping it illegal and in the dark.

Y'now what..I don't care..I cannot prove where I have been or what I have done..

And quite frankly you are so insignificant that I cannot really be bothered!

Then, why keep arguing the point? State your position, defend it...

Okay then. Hopefully next time you'll realize that your anecdotal stories are also insignificant and meaningless when we are trying to have an intelligent debate.

Do you know the difference?

Your accusatory tone towards people is certainly not a very good debate tactic and is more along the lines of starting an argument. That's why I ask.
