    That is kind of an odd question. I personally do not visit prostitutes and I wouldn't want my female relatives to be prostitutes but I feel it should be legal. I mean I won't want my relatives to be Republicans but Republicans shouldn't be outlawed.

    <<<mod edit>>> PA

    You're named after a tank that killed thousands of Soviets so don't talk to me about the rules of war you hypocrite. One day somebody made a racist offensive joke about Jews to so called liberals and they laughed so much I was actually shocked and told one of them off... Most of you people claim you love and support peace but in fact you're hypocrites who love to secretly witness tragic news. You're the same kind of people who film fights with your mobile phone cameras or film people dying because you are too dishonourable to go and help them.

    You're talking to a person who saved a kids life in a beach at Turkey (this was when I was a teen), as much as I want to exterminate people I know how it feels like to save a life, you have no idea who you're talking with so when you make two line comments like 'go first' you seem a bit stupid.

    I just can't take inferior people seriously, the one person who supports extermination for a good cause (me) is also probably the only person in this thread who has saved somebody's life and put his own life to save another, all I want to do is get rid of ignorant and dishonourable people in order to start again and create a good and perfect society from scratch.

    Little evil for greater good.

    I live in the United States. Women work for FREE sometimes just to break into the porn business. No one has a gun to their heads. This is a myth in the majority of the cases. What a cop out.

    Okay..

    You have to do some genetic stuff too to make people unable the even think non-tezelian things.

    And may I ask where you got the name 'tezelian' ? Is it based on something or just a completely made up word?

    And do you want to kill me? :( I'll be very sad if you want to

    If anyone thinks prostitution is a victimless crime, then please take a look at the long human supply chains of slavery that feed modern prostitution. One can only condone prostitution if they are willingly blind to the systemic consequences ... let's just hope its always someone else's daughter that get's caught feeding your male .... needs? Because certainly we are powerless before the temptation of our lust - so what if all it costs is the enslavement of others? Big deal right?

    I think our friend here is missing the point, you are hiring someone for his services and this is it .
    When i was 18 i happen to entertain older women for a very good sum of money , i was doing it for almost 2 years and for me was fantastic that i had so much money without having to force myself into a 9-5 job. I got a very expensive hi-fi , vacations, dresses for my gf and everything.
    Same goes for porn movies which are prostitution too , there are people that will make 4-5 if given the chance to get quick cash some may like it and stick for living but for most it is just making in 2 days what other people are earning in a month.

    "acceptable but not always"

    if an adult wants to sell their body and are not forced, I see no reason for the government to forbid

    but on a personal level I am against it

    Did it ever cross your mind that some people support legalisation precisely because failure to appropriately legislate for the area has lead to this problem? I want prostitution to be legalised I don't think that a woman should ever fear approaching police to report an assault or rape because of their chosen profession. I think that women who want to work as prostitutes should be legally able to do so and I believe that they like ever other sole trader or employee should pay income taxes. I think that the efforts of police should be targeted only at those women who are held in sexual slavery. And those who are responsible should be punished for the crimes they commit.

    But for god sake criminalising women who chose to work as prostitutes and depriving them of their lively hoods by criminalising their customers is crazy. Punish those who rape punish those who enslave but let consulting adults regulate their own affairs.

    Simple. Make pimping and human trafficing a capital crime.

    License protstitutes and require medical exams.

    Create some job opportunities and a better student loan process, maybe even free tuition so that poor women have an alternative.


    change no-fault divorce laws so that domestic abuse strips the violent partner of all power over the children.

    Make financial aid to single mothers a little easier to get, along with job training opportunities.

    Make violence against a prostitue an aggravating factor in robbery or assault charges.

    Hit the causes of the negative effects, rather than the prostitute.

    The problem with the poll is the question. Just because I find something unacceptable does not mean that I would insist that it be prohibited. I find lying and adultery both to be unacceptable. I also find drunkenness to be borderline unacceptable. However, these are things people can choose to do without harming the life or property of others, and so it would be wrong to harm them by insisting on prohibition of those activities. Prostitution, in my mind, varies in acceptability, but I think it should remain entirely legal. Trafficking is a whole other issue and will be much easier to deal with if the women (and men) aren't afraid of those who should be protecting them rather than putting them into cages.

    In my opinion anything that doesn't harm anyone else, without their consent, should be legal.

    Want to put an apple on your head and let someone try and shoot it off? Be my guest.

    Dating:

    Enough Drinks to make you look good enough to sleep with: $50
    Entertainment: $50 to $100
    Gifts to make her feel guilty enough to sleep with you: $100 - $1,000 depending upon how ugly you are
    Miscellaneous expenses like gas, parking, tips, bread for feeding the ducks... : $25

    Prostitution:

    Oral gratification: $25

    There is a thin line between dating and prostitution. As best I can tell, prostitution is the better financial transaction.

    People hating on prostitution is like the pop machine calling the water fountain a whore.

    The equivalent is child abuse, of course. No such 'contracts' are ever between equals, as all you exploiters know, and you make the law to benefit yourselves. Sell drugs, buy people, is about it for capitalism, let's face it.

    I've reported you a number of times. The way you post, your days are numbered here. Seek help, as many here have already advised you to do. You're only 20. Don't screw up your life. Get professional help.

    Reported me to who? You know I really hate people like you because if I do anything bad it will be due to people like you who can't let people like me express our own opinions, if I get banned from this forum and something does happen know it will be on your conscious.

    I don't need professional help because all prostitutes are scum-bags.

    A knife on the womb is less painful than Aids.

    Plus I already said Rest in Peace to the woman I used as a visionary example because she was innocent but prostitutes aren't.

    There have been thousands of cases where men and women have suffered a slow and painful death due to prostitution.

    What would you do if your son went to a prostitute and caught Aids?

    I bet you would want to kill the woman who slept with your son, would you not?

    They need to legalize it and move it off the streets. Have the girls checked out medically regularly and simply change the name to "escort service" and then every one is happy. What two adults agree to is their business. My only object to it right now is I don't want it in the streets and in your face. Most of those street hookers look like crack heads. They do need to clean it up. Move it off the streets.

    No, not me. I don't want to kill anyone. Wandering around the forum claiming you're going to kill people will get you banned.

    You have an obsession with wanting people to die. I am no psychologist, but I know that is an unhealthy position to take.

    If you get banned, you will have done it all by yourself. Seek help.

    I voted 'not acceptable always'.

    Scratch away at the veneer, it's an ugly business.

    My personal opinion.

    Acceptable? That's subjective.

    Regardless of my personal feelings I don't think it's justifiable to use the police power of the state to prevent two consenting adults from engaging in any mutually beneficial exchange. I understand the case the the whore isn't making a completely voluntary decision (few decisions are), but who am I to say whether her life will be better or worse off if she isn't hooking. What if that's the only way for her to feed a small child? By making it illegal I've made both her and the child worse off.

    We saw how well the prohibition of alcohol went, we're seeing how poorly the prohibition of drugs is going, why would anyone believe that making prostitution illegal will have positive ramifications? The logic doesn't follow and does nothing but push these activities into black markets that are impossible to regulate.

    You are not just hiring someone for services - you are paying someone's daughter, or son, to have an empty sexual experience - and human beings are not just a piece of plastic, which, BTW, if all you wanted was the itch scratched, the service, they makes toys for that do they not? Yet you choose to screw someone's daughter instead?

    And teh reality is pimping, its abuse and exploitation, it is a long chain of human slavery all to put someone's daughter in front of you rather than a piece of plastic you could have ordered withyour expensive new wi-fi system.

    As I said, the point is, that when you indulge in your ... pastime, there is a price, and you, as we see above, have simply rationalized it. I am sure the pimped out slave girl you just paid that money to is keeping all the money? I am sure everytime you do it you make sure that the woman isn't pimped or enslaved? Hooked deliberately on drugs to keep her compliant?

    And finally, when a woman is desperate for cash, the best thing to do when you have excess is demand sex to feed that desperation?

    There is a reason that the oldest profession in the world has been outlawed for most of human history. For some reason, I guess moder rationalization means we can just pretend the consequences don't actually happen?

    Don't call me a dude you sheep and at least I'm one honest "mother ......".

    Nobody will be as honest and trustful as me. I bet secretly people like you enjoy reading news such as "200 people killed in land slide", etc.

    I guess the only way any of you will agree with me is if your loved one's or friend's catch Aids from a prostitute, then you'll be begging to re-edit the vote of this poll into a no.

    The real sick people are you people who voted a yes, selfish people who will allow anything as long as it doesn't affect them.

    Prostitution doesn't affect me but I still want to try and get rid of it because I know many suffer from prostitution and I know prostitution is exploitive and bad business.

    I'm the true definition of good, not people like you who only care about yourselves. I want to live in a perfect society but how can that happen with ignorant people like you breathing!

    Why don't we just allow teenagers to consume heroin, it's their so called right is it not? Let's just live in a society where anything that doesn't personally affect us as a whole is permitted. In that case, in the name of liberty and rights let us allow our children to die from Aids by prostitution, let us permit our children to die of alcohol poisoning, let us consent our children to die from Heroin, let us allow our children to die of lung cancer due to smoking!

    It's people like you who are a disgrace and need to be answered for. Your so called psychiatrists are just there to attract sane people back to the age of ignorance, I'm the real psychiatrist and nobody can help me, only I can help you.

    As a sort of friendly advice, saying stuff like that about a knife in a vagina and that you'd want to the the japanese soldier in that video whilst all yes voters are the captives.. is rather creepy. I don't know the exact rules of the forum but I don't think they like this stuff very much, you could get banned. And if you say these things IRL your going to get some consequenses i guarantee you. Some things are better kept inside.

    You can't live in a perfect society because humans are flawed to begin with. To achieve utopia you have to make everyone non-human.

    And as said previously, legalizing prostitution will help stop sexually transmitted diseases from spreading via whores since they could be required to be checked and all that. And even if society went as far as you want, executing both prostitutes and their customers, due to human nature prostitution will still exist. Not everyone believes in executing prostitutes and they could very well let certain illegal activities continue in exchange for something..

    You see at least you're friendlier and make sense, thanks, and I won't post the Wikipedia link of that picture again as some people are very emotional.

    I have come to the conclusion that publicly executing prostitutes will NOT work because it will make people angrier.

    So I have thought of another idea. Bird flu was actually a flu created by pharmaceutical institutions to make profit through nations importing the vaccine of the bird flu through the hype and fear of bird flu imposed by the Media...

    My plan will basically be to send secret agents that will inject AIDS into prostitutes which will increase the amount of AID cases through prostitution, that way prostitution won't be popular and hopefully will work and if not then I give up and leave prostitution to be discussed and debated by you people until I come up with a better idea.

    Nobody tries the illegal way of abortion, by sticking something in the vagina without medical equipment BECAUSE it's bad...

    With my plan nobody will try prostitution and the business will die out because agents will plant AIDS into people who work in prostitution.

    How does an agent do this?

    An agent goes to a prostitute, seduces her for a while and later puts sleeping pills in the glass of champagne and once she's sleeping injects her with AIDS. When she wakes up she will forget everything and won't even notice the injection, then a few weeks later she'll have sex with a random man and both will have AIDS and both will give up prostitution and they will spread the word and so will doctors through diagnostics.

    Then the government will say because of increased AIDS we will ban all prostitution for your own good and bingo. People will be too scared of prostitution.
