Should prostitution be legalised ? Do the benefits of legalisation or decriminalization outweigh the possible dangers?

all the whey said:LOL I was going to say that. But, didn't feel like arguing today.

sugarlicious said:Prostitution is simply an issue of individual liberty. The control of one’s own body is the most basic of human rights. We do not impose legal penalties upon men and women who choose to be promiscuous. Why should the exchange of money suddenly make an incident of lawful and consensual sexual intercourse an illegal act?

Whatever your belief is on the action is fine, I myself have never used such services. The thing to consider in this form...balboa29 said:No it should not be. It is vary disgusting.
AAP said:Yes. In places like Amsterdam and Belgium where prostitution is legal, you will find the legal whores (hahaha.. say that out loud) to be in excellent health and often quite educated as well. (hard to believe)
You are providing an outlet that is safe for both parties to indulge in a pasttime that is going to take place no matter what, so why not capitalize on it, reduce the STDs out there, and make taxes.

Ok before I start I really didn't want today to be one of those 'serious' days, or where I argue point days, as much as I love the challenge of such. I needed a day off...LOL
Is this is a victimless crime, and takes away from man hours and jail space regarding the PD. As well as a waste of resources in the court system, increasing local taxes.
You would be protection the interest of the prostitutes and the public. How?1. You get rid of the pimps, reducing violent crimes against the prost.
2. You can have businesses that provide a safer place for transaction for both the prost. and the johns.
3. You regulate it, require health screening for the prost. this protects both.
4. You can have a health care system for the prost. thru the business they are working at.
5. Taxes... The prost. will end up making more money take home, so tax the previously unreported income. They will still bring home more money than they would with a pimp. This money normally gets used to support criminal acts, why not make it go somewhere where it will do some good.
I think this would work in everyones benefit...
You should see my views on legalization of drugs... but we'll save that for another time...
Although I don't approve of prostitution, what about strippers? They are in the same family, lap dances, etc???sugarlicious said:Governments have a duty to protect the moral and physical health of their citizens. Initiating the legalisation of prostitution would grant implicit approval to a dangerous and immoral practice. Prostitution should never be regarded as a legitimate career option for a young girl

The public doesn't need the Goverment to protect me from myself first of all. People are going to do what they are going to do, in this instance you have something that is already out there, why not make it safer for all concerned?
You think everyone will run out and start hitting up prostitutes as soon as it's legal... I don't think so.
I think girls should have better options in life as well but, I don't see them flocking to NV where it is legal to become a prost. I bet if you could do a statisics study in NV you would find the amount of legal prost. are out numbered per area by the illegal ones in other states relative.

sugarlicious said:The legalisation of the ‘Bunny Ranch’ in Nevada did not prevent the majority of prostitutes from continuing to work outside of the licensed brothel, and remain dependent on pimps. This is because brothels are more expensive environments for prostitutes to work and clients to visit. Rent, health checks, and security, are some of the costs which make it uneconomic for some prostitutes to be employed in brothels. In Britain, where prostitution is virtually prohibited, some prostitutes use private apartments, whilst others work on the street. Legalisation of prostitution does not remove the street market, or the dangers associated with it. The dangerous street environment is generated by simple economics, not legal controls.
As someone who lives in Nevada, I can say legalized prostitution doesn't stop pimps, street hookers, underaged girls (and boys) from falling into that lifestyle.AAP said:Actually it would reduce the amount of young girls who enter into it by implementing standards (age, health, etc..). Making it legal and standardized by regulating the occassions/locations/parties involved, etc.. would benefit by eliminating the seedy side of it.
Think, why would a woman need a pimp if she could work in a clean house that provides her with more money, better working conditions, and a retirement plan.
joefire_2008 said:You put restrictions on how much can be charged to the prost. by the businesses, inflict heavy fines and a form of suspension for both the prostitute and the house/business. I'm not saying I have a sted fast plan, I think it can work though. I live in Cali. where it is illegal as well... From what I understand in NV one of the laws that created issues leading to what you're saying is how it is against the law for the prost. to be on or near the strip.
I like the way you think though...
Yes, I also think we should introduce more politically correct terms for those involved in prostitution.velvett said:I'm all for legal prostitution, keep it clean and off the street.
