In many places in the world, prositution is legal (for instance Singapore). I truely believe that the US would be better if prositution was legal. People today too materialistic and close-minded. Only a couple of thousands of years ago everybody was screwing around. I think we were put on this world to better humankind or at least extent the life of homo-sapiens. It is only natural that males try to "spread the seed" as much as possible.
lhampel, I don't see anything wrong with prostitution, its just that I would not use it. I don't drink either but I don't have a problem with people who do.
Bober - money is a big part of the issue, because it is the reason that the woman does what she does.
Offer a prostitute money to either do what she normally does, or that she just go home for the evening and see what she does. The money is sort of a ransom - I'll give you the $ only if you...
The woman wants/needs the money - not what goes on.
In the bar, the woman is after what goes on.

Blackhawk2, then why would you not want your kids involved? If you don't see anything wrong with it?

Well fscking DUH!
If someone offered to pay me to go home instead of work, anybody would take that offer. We're all prostitutes in one way or another. I'd much rather be at home playing with my little girl. Instead I sell my time, my brain, my body for 40-50+ hours a week (minus time I spend here
) in exchange for money.
LOCK ME UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY! I'M A TECH WHORE!

lhampel, I want better things for my children. Prostitution is not the best profession in the world but I still see nothing wrong with it.
Bober - ain't we all?
Seriously - big difference in what we exchange money for, both in terms of liberty, safety...etc.
Sorry, guys - I have to run for a few hours for work stuff, I'll try to check back in a bit. So no sneaky declaring the debate won while I'm gone!

notice almost no women are posting in this thread?
It's threads like this one (decent debate though it may be) that make me sometimes wish that men could actully be a woman just for one day. Just one day!!

Elita1,
Care to explain that comment?
It is unfair to debate by wishing something upon your opponent which is physically impossible.

The only women (there were 2) I ever knew who became prostitutes were in the grips of a drug addiction. It was not a pretty thing.
Those of you who think women see prostitution as a just another career a woman might choose are deluding yourselves. Most people want to be seen with a little respect... do you guys respect prostitutes? The world of prostitution is a dark one, so before you go spouting off about it, do some research.
Prostitutes are almost exclusively damaged people. Should it be legal? I don't know. Is it a sad, pathetic, unfortunate circumstance for women? Yes.
Go ask Dr Drew!

People seem to ignore my questions. I think they're legitimate questions, so the only other thing I can think of is that nobody can argue with me. HAHAHA! I'M A GOD!
But seriously, Isla would you answer then?
Obviously the women you speak of had other problems that led them to that lifestyle. It's unfortunate and they need help. Has the illegality of prostitution helped them?

Isla,
I agree.
Prostitutes like drug addicts normally tend to be people in need of help.
Do we help them by making them criminals?
(Keep up the cordial tone, people, this is good stuff)

Oh, fdiskboy, I am not trying to debate at all.
My post was just the comment of a very tired housewife.
But please understand that my feeble little point is that prostitution is not the glamorous thing some people think it is(I am not saying you personally think that way) and that it is harder on women than some people would think.
By my post I meant that if men were to place themselves in those shoes perhaps their opinions would be slightly different.
That's all I'm sayin'. No more debating for me.
And by the way, I do NOT post from experience!
Edit:Isla you said what was on my mind but did not have the braincells to post at the moment. Thank you and very well said!

Elita1: If i could be a woman for 1 dy i'd take allot of pictures
Oh i'm sorry thats not what you meant.

I don't know, Bober. I really don't know if it should be legal or not, I only know that being a prostitute does not gain respect for a woman, for herself or from others...
Unless of course, you are a domestic prostitute, in which case there are all kinds of perks!

Elita,
You are very correct. Though this topic has brought out the morons of this board. You know that whole "men are from mars, women are from venus" thing that details the differences in perception of men and women? Well, right now I'd have that title changed to "men are from mars, women are from venus, boberfett and blackhawk2 are from Uranus".
Not all males see women as slabs of meat, or some purchaseable commodity. That is essentially what prostitution does to a woman, reduces her to a commodity. You drive down the street looking for the one you want and then you buy it for 15 minutes. You don't buy/sell humans, we are so much more than that.
People who say it's the prostitutes choice to do it are just fooling themselves, or more probably just trying to convince themselves that they are not doing anything wrong by paying for sex. A prostitutes life is a miserable one. All your life you are taught to cherish your body, and then for some reason you are forced to sell it. What that reason is varies from prostitute to prostitute, but regardless, it is still a human tragedy.

If being a Cab driver was safe & Paid as much Prostitution, most people wouldn't have a problem with their sons & daughters driving a cab.
(Example: While working their way through college.)
Now, since the use of a "Cab Driver" is being used...
Would you have a problem with your Child riding in cab?
(Provided it was safe!)
Right & wrong, Good & evil, every knows the difference between the two. People make choices based on Good (right) & Evil (wrong),in the life they choose to live everyday.
Examine yourself.

DaBoneHead,
We were having a legitimate discussion here--why is it that everyone who disagrees with you is a moron?
I don't think anyone on the board thinks prostitution is a good thing. We are debating whether the government should make it a criminal offense. Similar to the plight of the drug addict.
Should Robert Downey, Jr be a criminal because he has a drug problem? Do we help him by throwing him in jail at taxpayer expense? Do we help ourselves when we've got plenty of violent criminals to really protect the public from?
Elita1, I understand where you're coming from. I was just curious. Prop your feet up and relax for a bit.
Let me throw out another thought. For all our pro-choice people out there. If a woman has a right to choose what to do with "her body", why should prostitution be illegal?
Just a thought. DaBonehead, please try to be a little civil. No one was calling names here, except for you.

Elita,
Bless your heart! I have been in this argument with the boys before. Some have learned, some have not.
Prostitution in itself is a tragedy. Legal or not, it's very, very sad.
See DaBoneHead's post for what a real man thinks on the subject.

DarkSage--you made this tired girl laugh her head off You get a big hug from me, woman or not, pictures or no
Dabonehead---I'm grateful for your post. Not much boneheadedness in you at all!

I wondered when we might reach the name-calling stage.
Now, I'll call for a show of hands. All that think prostitution is despicable, raise their hands.
For all those who raise their hands, stand up. Who among you has gone out of their way to help a prostitute in need? Those who have may remain standing. Those who haven't sit down.
Now, Isla, you may think I'm not a real man, but who are the hypocrites among us, I ask you.
Was there any call for you to say that?

fdiskboy, I remain standing. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do to help in the end. There comes a time when you say 'goodbye' to a friend because your paths diverge so sharply.
Anyway, I'm not saying that YOU are not a real man. I expressed my opinion about DaBoneHead.
I happen to know and respect DaBoneHead, and as a woman, I consider him to be quite a gentleman (darn it! ) I don't know you personally, so I'm afraid I can't tell people what a stud I think you are. I have nothing to base that on!
If I like someone, I can say so, right?
