    Question Prositution : The worlds 'oldest' profession ?

    I suppose 'we' represent the worlds newest profession, so I thought I'd ask what we all feel about the oldest ....

    Personally I think, like it or not, it ain't going away, so what should we do ?

    BTW I made the poll 'muli-orgasmic' - so you can tick any number you like & NO - I didn't make it so you could all see how everyone voted (Cleetus can vote yes with complete confidence ! )

    It's already legal in many places that some consider more "socially advanced", sort of like your stand with drugs, right?
    BTW, I think the oldest profession is "Politician".
    Though some may see them as the same profession.

    Hi there,

    George Carlin, kinda sum it up: "Selling is legal, f**king is legal! How come selling f**king isn't legal?". (I hope I got it right). *hehe*

    How about the idea that if it is legalized it will be a huge blow to organized crime?

    How about the idea that if it is legalized, the women forced into the profession will have rights and health regulations and better income and more respect?

    How about the idea that it will save thousands of lives every year?

    Anyone wanna ask me where I get my facts and ideas from?

    Two stepsisters who lived lives as hookers, one of whom was murdered by a client.

    Would legalizing prostitution have helped them?

    Damn straight it would have.

    Legalize it....it works in Nevada.

    Plus, politicians would drool over the potential tax base this would add to support all their pet projects...
    It is too late to fix America via the Republicans or Democrats, and too early to start shooting the bastards.

    I swear, if it was regulated and I could get a "clean" girl, I so would. Rather than waste several dates, or a lot of drinks and stupid talk on some stupid girl, go out and get what it is that I want, boom, I am happy, didn't waste any time, she got paid. Win and Win.

    You know, the funny thing is, if you asked them who their clientele was, you'd find out that a large portion of it was lawyers, judges, politicians, rich executives...

    And yet these are the people who make and enforce the laws against prostitution?

    I still think it's criminal, and should continue to be illegal. No one has presented a good case yet.

    Why is it criminal? its the prostitues body and she should be allowed to do with it what she wants, shouldn't she??

    I think regulation and legalazation would clean it up and make it alot safer for women in the "profession". Also, why shouldn't it be taxed just like our jobs, we pay taxes on our earnings, why shouldn't they?

    A guy can go out and get what he wants, not deal with bull that all women give, not worry about diseases or the law, not deal with the fact that all women are in one way or another, and in the end, it will keep him from turning gay

    I don't know about that, Clam came up with several good points, and the fact that Nevada already regulates it gives it some validity.

    Personally, I would de-criminalize it (not the same thing as legalizing), and then regulate the h3|| out of it.

    What would constitute a good case to you? (Not arguing the point, just wondering)
    Here comes the revolution; time for the retribution.

    I say legalize it, that way it is regulated and hopefully safer.

    Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs
