Prostitution........The Next Libertarian Debate

[tekkychick]

Most importantly though, this argument is just blind. Yes, I agree there is a difference when it's a very young, conventionally beautiful woman who can actually get a thousand dollars a night and hooks for a year or two to pay her way through Columbia University.

And there are a few cases of this. They make up what? 1 percent of the world's prostitutes? 2 percent?

It's a false argument.

As opposed to the women who are giving blow jobs for $5 so they can get a little food or some drugs.....

I agree, the number of the high-priced "pretty women" type hookers/escorts does seem pretty low compared to the desperate women - underage and older - who are just trying to scrape together enough to get through the next day and to pay off their pimp.

Still think it should be legalized - because then instead of demonizing the women doing it and throwing them in jail, we can get them information, drug treatment, career training, etc if they don't want to stay in the "profession"

Sounds fine - 'but 'we' are not in charge, nor would we be. Humans are just commodities to capitalism, and who wants commodities getting up and walking away (except left-wing cranks like me, of course, but we don't count since McCarthy)?

Yeah, the true significance of all the world's ills is only found when fit into a narrative against capitalism.

Well, if everyone were dying of the pox or AIDS it would tend to come up from time to time, except for those in total denial or drugged-up fugue.

Slices of the bugger, in Popeburgers, since humans don't matter, only money. Small daughters grow up, kid, or didn't you know? Cuntburgers?

when you have true freedom that means some peolle are not going to operate under YOUR ideas of morality.


Some people are sociopaths.


what do I care if a sociopath makes money doing something like this as an adult when they will never really feel a true human emotion anyway due to their malformed brain.


As long as they harm no one and its completely done with everyone wanting it to happen who is involved.


its better to make it safe and legal so people who are forced into this lifestyle now are not forced into the lifestyle because of good laws well inforced.


You can not legislate the morality YOU wish to see.
