Stossel had a good program on tonight about it. Some good questions with ‘The Bunny Ranch’ girls.
While I am perfectly married and don’t need their services I don’t understand why this is illegal. Porn is a multi billion dollar industry, and yet if you want to do the same thing in private its illegal. Then police departments setup ‘vice’ squads to go setup stings and pose as both johns & prostitutes. What a waste of time.
I just can’t fathom how making it illegal benefits us at all or is a good use of resources to ‘combat’.
We took down a ecstasy distribution crew in December, also tied to pimping and prostitution in the region (region, not area). One of the girls supplying them with cell phones in her name/account was an eighteen year-old from the Seattle area. She had five prostitution arrests in the eight months she had been working in our AO. Two of those were for engaging in prostitution while being HIV positive. Waste of time? Really?
Exactly. The current laws make it violent, abusive, disease and drug addled, and generally awful. If it is to remain illegal, then sure go ahead and try and curb it. Of course people have tried to stop it for centuries if not millennia…
But in places where it’s legal and either governmentally regulated or sufficiently decriminalized so that industry self imposed regulations can exist(and both client and worker grievances can be addressed in court,) the awful parts of the profession/industry simply don’t exist with a few rare exceptions.
The illegality of prostitution(and drugs for that matter) means that only criminals will supply those services. It’s not a surprise then that they deliver those services in a criminal fashion with little to no ethics/morals and there is no non-violent mechanism to sort the industry out(civil court.)
sounds like the previous arrests did not stop her ? so I think that is what I would mean with a waste of time criminals are going to do criminal activities
I think we should have the Amsterdam model where you have regulated red light districts that are controlled and taxed. It would be better for the girls it would be better for the guys.
And quite honestly you can get all kinds of nasty shit from sticking your dick into some chick you met at a bar or club.
I am against any of it happening ! but I am also against drugs !
also for a free country so some things are not my business and have to live with the fact if people want to do this better have some control to take the criminal activity of it out safer for everyone
as it is now legalizing it they should/would have to really really crack down on the illegal side of it then big time
otherwise you will still have a underground side of it going on that could be more dangerous with girls that did not make the med exam etc…
at the same time you would have to be careful how these places open and are licensed and monitored otherwise you just legalize johns ! so that side would have to be regulated somehow
make sure you dont just make abusive johns legal somehow !
make sure they are still not being forced or beaten or things like that
also I think where they can be etc… would have to be greatly restricted sorry would not want one in my neighborhood !
For all sexual offender statistics- where western world countries where prostitution is legal generally have lower rates- I am of the firm opinion that these girls do a great service to public safety.
I spent numerous years of my life in Europe which tolerates prostitution in most places that I visited and lived (Holland, Germany, France, Switzerland and Spain). Although it is far from perfect (they still have organized gangs running prosties, underage girls, etc…) but there does seem to be more control especially in the legalized brothels.
The girls pay taxes, they are required to get regular check ups (most of them will only perform sex acts with condoms) and it generally helps to confine the trade to certain areas of the cities. For some reason we have this infatuation with trying to regulate what goes on the bedrooms of America and we have some weird aversion to discussing matters related to sex.
I would personally like to see it regulated, and legalized and maybe it would help with the ongoing issues we seem to have in the U.S.
It’s silly, plain and simple. What two consenting adults choose to do in private, should be their business and their business alone. It really is that simple.
If the courts have ruled that a woman has a right to discard a child, they certainly have no business regulating her cock consumption.
As a Christian, I find it morally wrong to have sex with a prostitute, use drugs, commit adultery etc, but I don’t feel it should be illegal.
I also know that my feelings on the subject isn’t the norm among other Christians. Some folks can’t separate wrong and illegal, and believe everything that isn’t good should have some legislation following it.
Fucking is legal… selling is legal… why is selling fucking illegal?
I don’t have use for it, mainly because I’d rather pretend by paying for it with dinner, movies, vacations and diamonds rather than an outright monetary transaction, but I see no reason why someone should not be able to just buy a good time.
If its legal, as others have said, it would be a lot less dangerous and the caliber of women would be much higher. The crack whores I see in Atlantic City are SCARY!
Plus, from what I understand you don’t pay here to get there and show u a good time, you’re paying here to leave afterwords. :sarcastic:
