That's not a problem when it's legal. In Australia you can pay with a credit card if you arn't worried your wife will see the statement.

Exactly.

How come businesses don't claim you stole something after you walk out with it?

Or how come I can walk in my local BB with my iPod, and they won't claim I stole it. Why would sex be any different?

Oh yeah since selling is legal and fucking is legal, so why not make selling fucking legal? 😛


Yeah. George Carlin said a lot of cool things.

Yes he most certainly did. RIP George Carlin

That is stupid - if you legalize it half way, you'll make it more unsafe (lower punishment = lower prices, higher supply and still no regulation). Expect more people getting STDs from prostitutes


Either criminalize it or decriminalize it and tax it (makes it safer)

That would be closer to the fact of the matter. The "people" have yet to derive ANY benefit of the order the corporations enjoy.

This should be allowed on a national level.

Not street walking prostitution, but brothels for sure.

Make it legal nationally and you see a lot of benefits. It becomes taxable, it can then be regulated (and be safer), it frees up our police to work on other crimes, it *should* keep a lot of them from being on the corner because more would be in a brothel, and the main reason it's illegal is because of religion.

couldn't agree more. Plenty of European countries (like Germany) make it legal and it seems to have no adverse affects.

It's a state handled issue. That's why in Nevada it is legal in some areas, along with RI being legal behind closed doors.

I don't get it. How can the goverment tell a women what she can and can't do with her body? If she wants to sell sex then isn't that her right?

Here in Australia they have to work in a brothel, but they're still free to do it. And they pay tax. 🙂

Jeez, half the politicians in this city visit the brothels.

Because like most self proclaimed good "Christians" THEY ARE EFFING HYPOCRITES!

There are hypocrites in every faith. People make mistakes, why do you feel the need to bash one single religion?

I am a Christian and I most certainly strive every single day to live as the Bible commands.

Rhode Island permits the sale of sex behind closed doors between consulting adults, but it prohibits street prostitution and brothels.


WHAT??? Have never heard this before. Go RI!

Good to hear.

Unfortunately most of your fellow "Christians" follow the rules when it suits them. A lot are involved in "sinful" activities, that are looked down upon by the church. From cheating, to stealing, to drug use, to any of the many other options out there. It's just like politicians that speak out about how "wrong" gay marriage is, and how we need to pass laws against gay peoples right to marry. Then turns out he is going down on some dude in a public bathroom.

It happens in every orginization. Be it religious, political, social, etc. People love to make exceptions just for themselves.

And that is wrong, but to suggest that the faith, a set of beliefs, endorses that is ludicrous. People everywhere make mistakes - not just Christians.

Furthermore, why is it that people look to the weakest links in faith- people who have lost their faith, are immature, or are just Christian in name only? Sure if we believe in Jesus and ask forgiveness our sin is taken away, but why focus on those who could care less about that, to represent the faith.

Why not look at those who try every single day to live as commanded by the Bible. Sure they make mistakes to, but they recognize it and ask forgiveness, not ignore it.

That's why you film it and call it a porn.

more like they will be filming it and making a profit off of you. but since it will be filed, they probably wouldn't chance calling rape.

It's legal in NV outside of counties with a certain population, making it okay over most of the state outside of the major cities.
