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.
Of course, you'd think its okay for a young girl to be exploited by a pimp.
You're right, sweetie. I didn't go back to read the whole thread, nor do I particularly care what you posted over a year ago, before you became such a bitter, brainless hack. I was responding only to your gratuitous, but too predictable, partisan attack in a thread that has no reason to be partisan. As far as my purported "hypocrisy" is concerned, when you can show that I've supported Obama's whoring while attacking the whoring of Congress, you may have a point. I haven't, however. I believe both are wrong, meaning you're once again proving that that giant chip on your shoulder colors everything you say. Take a Midol, princess, or STFU. You are a waste of electrons.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.
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.

What would you say if it was well regulated then? Like it is in Nevada, where the women are tested for STDs and there are regulations and it's consensual/they're free to choose to do it or not? Strip away everything else and leave just the act of being paid for sex.
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.
$50 says it is different from whatever you would define as an exploited woman.
Only a jackass would interprate that that way.
Its like this. In some scenarios, children not even in puberty yet work to pay off debts by sewing or manufacturing. Does that mean manufacturing is bad and exploitative? Should we outlaw manufacturing too?
Well I wouldn't call paying someone to perform a service, that many people do for free, "exploiting".
Is Lebron James being exploited when is paid to play basketball?
This is how it is in many countries such as Thailand, Philippines, and Brazil...just to name a few.
And you totally ignored the point I was making that pimps exploit young girls, sometimes underage, to use as prostitutes so they can get paid.
Of course, you are turning this back around on the women.

Exploit is nothing more than a meaningless buzzword to refer to people doing work you don't like.
And according to US courts
Underage girls are allowed to CHOOSE to become mothers

If someone is old enough to make choices about becoming a parent who am I to deny them the opportunity to earn a living and support their child?
Treating women as adults who are capable of being responsible for themselves is not "turning this back around on women".
How are you comparing selling sex to sewing t-shirts?

So you have NO problem with an underaged girl being a prostitute?

I don't think underage girls should be mothers.
But since society apparently does not have a problem with that. It seems a bit hypocritical to say that underage girls only have control over their body sometimes.
Weaksauce, princess. Is there anything you aren't a failure at?Awwww, is Bowfinger throwing yet another tantrum?
How does that make them "unexploitable"?

You didn't really make a point as to why prostitution should be illegal though.
Showing that exploitation exists in an environment where prostitution is illegal doesn't seem like much support for keeping prostitution illegal.
Are you trying to say the exploitation will be worse if it is legalized?
Do you think the police are going to be more likely to find abuse in a legal environment where the employees pay taxes or one where the employer is doing everything possible to ensure the police don't even know the business exists?
The question was whether or not it was immoral. Not whether or not it should be legalized.
Do you think what goes on at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada is immoral?
