Well, it seems as if the women were just more specific about why than the men. That wouldn't be unusual now would it? :mrgreen:

This so much reminds me of a comedy show I saw once, and the comedian was saying that men have an empty box in their heads that they go to when the women start asking them questions or talking too much. Something along those lines. Wish I could remember the name so I could post a clip.

:D That sounds about right. My wife is convinced that too many explosions in the Marine Corps have ruined my hearing. I am perfectly content to go right on letting her think that :D

Prostitution should be legal with serious oversight...

#1 Mandatory monthly medical checks. This would include tests for cooties, hebeejeebees and Mary Jane rotten crotch.
#2 They must be licensed by the perspective state and be required to shower at least twice a day.
#3 A dept of Ho's shall be responsible for weeding out the ugly one's and keeping a small percentage of unusual's around.

If we follow my simple guidelines prostitution would be better for everyone! Do it for the children!

The hell? Did you just say the US was the most conservative country in the world? Was that a joke?

And how is that a rebuttal to my statement that prostitution does not equal a higher divorce rate?

Well the most in the world but it is very conservative in comparison to other countries

I love a good bit of fornication every now and then. Not into adultery, but I'm unmarried, not into STD's but happy to wear protection (even happier to use a licensed, certified, tested professional), and I prefer to save my drugs for after the prostitutes as I can't get it up when I've had too much to smoke.

Is that the answer you were looking for? :roll:

It's an answer similar to what I expected, if that's what you mean. ;)

May I ask why?

Seems like conservatives hate me because I believe in personal responsibility when it comes to stuff like sex and drugs, and liberals hate me because I believe in personal responsibility when it comes to stuff like guns and money. I just can't win with you people :(

I'm not on any fence. In other threads people keep telling me I'm too hardline about my beliefs, and now I'm being accused of being a fence sitter.

My opinion is that you're the fence sitter with regards to personal responsibility. When it comes to guns, you think it's a matter of personal responsibility for how they are used, but when it's a bunch of dried out herbs or a vagina, you don't think people should be trusted to use them responsibly.

Stop fence sitting, either we hold people responsible for their actions, or we blame the objects they use, you can't have it both ways :D

It's people like you who gave Congress back to the Republicans, but then turned around and gave President Barack Hussein 4 more years. Fence, meet HumanBeing.

Your problem is that you think drug use/prostitution and self defense are on equal footing. You're one half Liberal, one half Conservative, and 100% frustrating. Welcome to the fence. ;)

Stop pointing your finger and get off the fence. We either hold people responsible for their actions (Conservative) or we blame everything on everything else (liberal).

Wow, and I managed all that without ever having set foot in America, and despite my opposition to electoral politics? Maybe I was stoned when it happened, but I don't remember doing any of that stuff. :( (and in case you're interested, I would never have voted for Bush or Obama. I would have been tempted by Ron Paul but I think he's a hypocrite so still probably wouldn't have voted).

I'm not one half anything, i'm 100% pro personal responsibility. Guns can take lives or save lives, vaginas can make lives or money, and weed can make lives better or worse depending on the person and how it's used.

I'm just not into blaming inanimate objects for the actions of people who use them, whether the objects be guns or weed. It isn't my place to tell you what you can or can't use to defend yourself with in your own home, nor is it my place to tell you what dried herbs you can or can't smoke in your own home.

Waitwut? I thought you only wanted me to hold people accountable for shooting each other. With weed it's all the fault of the inanimate object, so we have to ban it. No?

What shape is this damn fence anyway? It seems all curvy and inconsistent.

Still completely wrong. We're extremely progressive in comparison to the rest of the world. The only countries less conservative than us are europe, australia, and a few other exceptions.

And if we're so conservative, why do we have the highest divorce rate in the world? Just looking at the data, you'd think prostitution in a country actually strengthens marriages. It's the exact opposite of what some of you are claiming.

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...

Men who use prostitutes should be ashamed of themselves..

Assault is and should be illegal. Totally different topic.
 
Yes, and well regulated too with tax inspectors and health standard requirements.

And hopefully, this will cause some of the violence against prostitutes to diminish and offer a safer work environment, under the coverage of the law.

Basically I don't want women to prostitute themselves..they are better than that!!

There's also girls (and boys) who go whoring around for free. Maybe we should pass laws on casual sex?
 
From: Ain't Nobody's Business if You Do: The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in a Free Society

THIS BOOK IS BASED on a single idea: You should be allowed to do whatever you want with your own person and property, as long as you don't physically harm the person or property of a nonconsenting other.

Simple. Seemingly guaranteed to us by that remarkable document known as United States Constitution and its even more remarkable Bill of Rights. And yet, it's not the way things are.

Roughly half of the arrests and court cases in the United States each year involve consensual crimes—actions that are against the law, but directly harm no one's person or property except, possibly, the "criminal's."

More than 750,000 people are in jail right now because of something they did, something that did not physically harm the person or property of another. In addition, more than 3,000,000 people are on parole or probation for consensual crimes. Further, more than 4,000,000 people are arrested each year for doing something that hurts no one but, potentially, themselves.

The injustice doesn't end there, of course. Throwing people in jail is the extreme. If you can throw people in jail for something, you can fire them for the same reason. You can evict them from their apartments. You can deny them credit. You can expel them from schools. You can strip away their civil rights, confiscate their property, and destroy their lives—just because they're different.

At what point does behavior become so unacceptable that we should tell our government to lock people up? The answer, as explored in this book: We lock people up only when they physically harm the person or property of a nonconsenting other.

I answered that in the bit you quoted me on....... I'm against electoral politics in their current form, but if I was forced at gunpoint to vote for someone in the last US election, it would have been Ron Paul. If he hadn't been running and I was forced at gunpoint, I'd have chosen the bullet.

I don't live in Europe and I'm not really sure what that point has to do with what I said. Why am I unreliable? My views are very consistent, they don't change often, so what's unreliable about me?

Dooble said:

Not any more than it's my place to tell someone to sleep off being drunk (ie, it becomes my place when their actions are becoming aggressive towards others).

Though, your question also ignores one of the best things about weed: When someone has too much of it, they will sleep it off without needing to be told, that's how being stoned works :)

Dooble said:

Yeah, people can own guns but only get in trouble when they shoot someone, but clearly the simple act of owning a dried out herb should be enough to warrant imprisonment. That makes loads of sense. Thanks for educating me on that, I never would have worked it out on my own.
