Without rights to work in Deutschland you mean. Okay, I see.

No, wait, I am not certain on this. I said "perhaps" on the post above, and the following post sort of put the word out of context. I heard one country does or did this. I think it could be the Dutch or perhaps Sweden?

If you hear which country it is, I will read up on it. That would be a really far out way for a government to spend tax payer money. Sort of like giving gays a tax break, if they sign a paper.

Yes, Germany and Holland both have legalized prostitution and have a well organized bureaucratic system of regulation. Sort of like meat production with registration, health checks, book keeping and all that.

Fully legalize. The government does not have a charter to override people's decisions on what they want to do with their own body. Legalization and regulation works here in Europe, it's time for the christi-ban to get on board.
 
Legalize it. Consenting adults, the woman's body and all of that should apply here.

It should be legal and regulated like any other business. This is a women's safety issue to me. Illegal prostitution leads to abuse, disease, crime, and human trafficking. It just makes NO SENSE to me to make prostitution illegal.

whether it is legalized or not it still causes abuses and human trafficking in many countries.

in fact as opposed to what you believe it helps mafia increase its control of this sector

At a certain point, the morality of suppression always becomes an embarrassment. This was probably another legacy of timeworn religious chastity. How the **** are you gonna justify criminalising sex between consenting adults? This ****'s days are numbered, and rightly so. It's pathetic.

Because men aren't involved in prostitution?
 
I think where it's legalised but regulated, you're still granting sanction to define morality on the government's own terms. Even the opportunity to reverse the decision. You're also inviting taxation where there should be none. Why is any of the government's business? It's not like prostitutes are making use of resources that exist beyond themselves, other than contraception and premises, which are already taxed. Legalisation should be the end of it. Regulation's an empty gesture.

But this involves their own decision to get money for sex. Why not regulate people having sex not for payment if you don't want people to get sick? Those people are making the same decision, are they not? Hell, in most states people in porn don't have to wear condoms, and I don't hear many people screaming for regulations. Hell when California(I think) did it a while back people complained.

For the same reason that you don't regulate people who raise their own chicken for their own consumption and that of their guests.

Dope, hookers, on demand abortion. What other deviant behavior do we need to make legal to finally put the last few nails in the coffin of America.

Oh, I can think of many "governmental agencies" I would trash. Has nothing to do with prostitution.
