Prostitution is just bad all the way around. While people should be allowed to engage in a sexual encounter, as long they are adults and its consensual, it just brings a bunch problems with it. It just creates a breeding ground for all types of deviate and harmful behavior.

A lot of careers don't promote positive behaviour. Investment banking, for example

Prostitution, when the participants chose it without threat or coercion, is a consensual activity as well. It has suppliers and consumers... and the government should treat it no differently than it would any other consumer purchase.

Quite often, women are victimized and forced into prostitution. Woman of all ages. Sex trafficking is real and a lot of these young women are being abused and exploited by their pimps.

Not too long ago, I watched something about child prostitutes in NY. Some of these girls were as young as 12. They talked about how they got into "the game". Some of these girls were raped and beaten and told they had no other choice but to work the corners. Many of these girls turned to prostitution because they didn't have food to eat at home and just wanted to make a living. Their pimps were sometimes men in their 40s..older men that were living comfortably at the expense of young women.

Ive also seen programs on prostitutes in Asia and little girls being given "sex houses" so they can entertain men at night.

Its not a glorious business...and yes, I would say its "immoral". Not because people are selling sex...but because of the fact that many of the people selling sex are being exploited or abused.

Then the exploitation and abuse should be prosecuted and thwarted, not prostitution itself.

That sounds like why most people work.

Well I guess they could instead spend 14 hours a day assembling iPads or shoes.

Obviously abuse is wrong.

But what does "exploited" mean? Earning a living?

Right on down to the day that children are made to feel worthless to control them so they can fit in with the rest of the walking dead? You are stirring the top of an ocean deep.

Of course, you'd think its okay for a young girl to be exploited by a pimp.

Yawn. Leave it to you to pollute the thread with yet another gratuitous Obama attack. Hacks gotta hack.

Here's a "brothel" with 535 whores, all accepting bribes^h^h^h^h^h^h contributions to screw the rest of us:



Of course the majority of them have (R)'s after their names, so you'll ignore this inconvenient fact.

Huge difference is that, you go to any corner where prostitution is being promoted and you'll find all kinds of bad stuff. Most prostitution is not done in some 5 star hotel, lol. You'll find children being put out there and stuff. Its just bad all around.

You know I made a similar point in this thread already, back in 12-17-2011, too bad you were too stupid to read it.

It is already, they call it being a Democrat Senator or House member. The only difference is the people get screwed, not the prostitute.

The reason I included the recent link about President Obama selling private access to donors of $500,000+ is because it points out the hypocrisy of little lefties like you.

Another way to define prostitution is it is turning the most powerful emotion we can experience into a commodity. This line of work requires controlling these emotions. You should be able to take it from there.

The general rule of prostitution is it's great fun so long as it is someone else's daughter doing the fucking.
With all due respect, you are treating your personal morality as if it is a fundamental law of nature. Sex is intrinsically nothing more than an especially pleasurable (mostly) form of physical exercise. You impose your morality on top of that and see it as something more. That's perfectly fine for you, and for the majority of Americans, perhaps even of all people, who share that view.

For those who do not, however, prostitution is essentially working as a professional athlete, getting paid to engage in physical activity. It simply is not an emotional activity for them when they're with customers. It's just a workout that pays well. I'm not asking that you adopt that view, but you should recognize that not everyone views sex as a sacred bonding as you seem to.

You don't think something coerces people into prostituting themselves? I'm pretty sure it (coercion) is inherent in the equation that leads to whore.
