but think that anyone who takes an honest view of it can see it leads to a degeneration of society over time. I would agree that ultimately the problem lies in the mind, but also see that the solution lies in the laws which disincentives the acts from occurring.

Let me ask a question which was asked in another post maybe a year ago on the same subject. What if any of your children(if you have any) would aspire to join this legalized industry as they're growing up through their high school/college years? Would it be ok with you?

Had Prostitution never been criminilized, we would not have these problems.
Just simply admit that you can't get the kind of woman you lust after and have to pay for it. That's all.
except that the people in power get paid while the tax payers get screwed instead

Legal prostitution worldwide? We already have it, it's call Legislative, executive and judicial prostitution, in almost every country in the world. Services render to corporations by and from those sworn to serve the people. Traitors all. Enemies of the people.
I use the word "respectable" because I don't have any respect for men who pay for sex.
You make it sound very lucrative. Better yet why not promote this as a solution to all the college grads who are still paying off their loans. Better yet why not propose a pyramid scheme on this profession where you can be a member of the club and offer services and collect commission on every new recruit that joins the chain marketing (similar to AMWAY). It will certainly provide jobs to many unemployed in the nation. What do you think?

most of the people in favor of legalizing prostitution are affluent middle and upper-class, mostly males. They are generally well-educated, with a variety of life choices to choose from.
The vast majority of the people who actually have their orifices penetrated for someone's profit are the underclass. They are often not legal citizens where they work, and sometimes don't even speak the language of their "host" country. They are often young, uneducated, penniless and starving; with no real alternatives.
Of course legalization has its libertarian advocates, like John Stossel: a Princeton-educated, emmy award-winning journalist from a prominent Jewish family of Chicago. No one is ever going to force him to do anything intimate against his will---he has all the money and power of a 1%-er.
Compare that with a typical prostitute: teenager, hispanic female, (illegal) immigrant, living on the street with no relatives, education, or job skills or savings account, and a limited ability to speak English. Beaten regularly to extract any "tip" given her by her Johns, and beaten again if she becomes to ill to pull a train on a given work-night.
The "haves" in our society are all in favor of legalizing prostitution. The ugly old white men in the 1% want their sex-on-demand.
The poor children who have to lovingly caress in order to pay for supper won't even be consulted, when their "relationship" with the pimp becomes officially sanctioned policy.edit on 24-7-2012 by tovenar because: (no reason given)

I agree with you. Telling people what they can and cannot do with their bodies is insane.
