Should prostitution be legalized

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Point conceded. How about we start with all first world countries legalizing it?

In spite of immigration issues which I agree is problematic the other issues opponents of legalization bring up are red herrings IMO.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

But I want someone smart to draft the law. Don't want too many stupid loopholes in the regulations that allow increased exploitation of women. Is prostitution legal in Nevada?

Hey do you know anything about grass. Is it really that harmless that they're rallying to legalize it.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Grass is OK. Relieves stress. Much less harmful than tobacco or alcohol. In fact it possesses some medicinal properties.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

What about driving while high on grass?

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

In Government administrations, prostitution is secretly allowed just to keep it away from every nook and corner of the cities. Govt is well informed on activities but keeps a blind eye on some areas...... it is taught to them in administrative point of view.... If you stop prostitution, every street will have one brothel on it.....this is the oldest profession.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Driving under influence must stay illegal. **Any **influence.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

^ Exactly.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

As Drona says alcohol and cigarettes more harmful.

I think parts of Nevada prostitution is legal. In terms of illegal activities increasing if prostitution legalized - simple soon. Prosecute illegal activity as a serious crime.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

So grass <= alcohol

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Just curious. How does a person stop him self from driving when he's intoxicated. The drug has already impaired your judgment. You could just go out for a drive and the DUI might not seem like a bad idea when you're stoned. Does a person have enough control over himself to not drive.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

It can not be legalized in countries like Pakistan because it is against the constitution. Anything that is considered a sin in Islam can not be protected by a law in Pakistan according to the prelude of the constitution.

And prostitution comes under Zina, which is considered one of the major sins. So, there is no way it would ever have any legal protection.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Prostitution has been around since man (and woman) has been around and will be around till man (and woman) are around. It is doing pretty well on its own so I don't think it requires any help from us :)

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Yes Imo grassx< or = alcohol

We are adults and are responsible for our actions. One can be an alcoholic AND choose not to drive.of course more power to those who stay away fromi intoxicants.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Legalization is NOT equal to promoting or helping. Its purpose is to decriminalize so Ee don't lock people in jails. And use the saved money to promote safety and education.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Well an intoxicated person can't think clearly, so can't choose wisely either. Like they say losing yourself to drugs, or how a persons personality changes under influence. But the prohibition didn't work too well and we had the likes of Al-Capone(he was a booze baron, wasn't he)

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

I agree. That is why addiction should be treated as a disease so help can be given. To those who can stay away from drugs and alcohol I say good for you. And to the religious folks who stay away for religious reasons I say more power to you. But some drink in controlled manner. They better obey rules. Those who lose control AND drive under influencehave to pay consequence and or get treated.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

I can confirm you there are intoxicated people who think perfectly and drive perfectly....even after having several shots of Tequilla with salt n lime

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

posting in an online forum while intoxicated should be prohibited. :smack:

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Smart thing to do would be to not drink alone. Have a designated driver whose job is to drive and to decide when to cut everyone off. Chances of you doing something stupid increase when you're in a group of exclusively hammered people, hammered alone. Having some form of supervision as in Pubs, does control the situation a bit.

Re: Should prostitution be legalized

Intoxicated people THINK they drive perfectly.

Those engaging in such dangerous behavior should be punished and/ or treated.
