This is America. This is why our founding fathers believed in states rights. If a particular community, county, or state votes prostitution as being legal, so be it.

I just don't see how legalizing it would make it worse. Like I said, the average guy would prefer a legitimate place instead of some shady place.

Do you think it should be a personal moral decision or a govt decision? I kinda like the freedom to make my own decisions.
It's illegal? Jk Worlds oldest profession, always in demand, legalize it. If you don't wrap your tool your the fool.
Some things are too gross to try to apply personal freedoms too. Slavery was declared illegal, molestation and incest are also illegal. Your argument has no literal stopping point and ends with anarchy if you follow that logic consistently. I believe in personal freedoms but the nation was built around the rule of law and some things are just too flagrant to overlook in my opinion. Beyond that stated opinion, my original post still applies either way whether it's regulated or not. The fact it's an issue either way still points to a severe moral degradation.
No sh*t buckwheat. Without a doubt a child molester, drug addict, thief or a *****monger do not share my morality either. Society tolerates and even celebrates differing opinions, POV's and varying character...to an extent but it has it's limits (as well it should).
For everyone comparing prostitution to slavery, rape, child molestation and any other crime that is committed AGAINST another PERSON your argument is invalid. Prostitution is to CONSENTING adults. Who are you to judge anyone's morals, that's one of the biggest problems in america today everyone judging people when it doesn't effect you personally. Mind your own business and you do what's right for you.
I find it funny that prostitution which has been around since long before Jesus even walked the earth somehow points to degradation of society today. I get so tired of reading middle aged people acting like society is so much worse today than ever before when literally every statistic (you know, actual facts) actually point to the opposite.
Invalid.... Many slaves wanted to remain in their prior service... Many children want to have sex with adults...both statutory rape and child molestation. Law is not always made to prevent crime committed against another person, sometimes it's made to protect society and to protect people from their own carelessness or weakness to temptation (recklessness). Much of the law is based on judging others morals. You can't just dismiss my argument as "invalid" because you disagree with it. Prostitution has been considered an unhealthy practice, both mentally and physically, to individuals and society. All the concerns it poses have already been mentioned so I'll leave it at that. As I said, no matter whether or not it's illegal, the fact that many voice a desire to see it legalized shows the degradation of morals and that is sad. Morality is attacked at every turn these days rather than shared. Rather than seeing someone as trying to hold society to some thread of moral righteousness, that person is far more likely to be judged and ridiculed for being a nosy, self righteous prix...that's the sad state of affairs we live in.
Oh you mean in todays world where in most places...prostitution is illegal? The concern isn't yesterday or today...but tomorrow. When I see people openly arguing for reversing standing law to make something like prostitution legal...I'm sorry but I get concerned for the direction we're heading when a basic value for humanity (society) is pissed on. Prostitution being illegal has been good for society here in the US. There's no good reason to reverse it and make it legal, there's no good that can come of it. Look at nations across the world where it's legal, it's gross. Our statistics are what they are now because of laws based around a moral code to protect, both ourselves and each other to make a safe society. Murder has been around since the beginning of time, so has suicide. Don't move the goal post, you're trying to make comparisons that don't apply to the context at hand. Moral degradation as I pointed to was here in the US where prostitution has been illegal (in most places) for decades and now many people are arguing to rescind that law...that's a backwards step for modern times...it has nothing to do with societies ills pre-Jesus.
As much as I respect other peoples opinions, you really didn't bring facts to the table to make me change my mind. Facts slaves were taken against their will and once freed some of them were institutionalized and didn't want to leave. That was an adult choice and has nothing to do with the argument at hand. Child molesters even if the child wants to have sex they are a child not an adult so again the argument here has nothing to do with the what 2 consenting ADULTS. I agree with you that the laws are based on morals and have a deep christian roots but is it your place to judge people that have a different view then yours? No it's not. Laws are changed all the time for better or worse depending on your view. If you follow all the christian values then you should fight every urge you have and not have sex until you are married. Did you wait? Some people would call that immoral, my point is what one person thinks a moral standard should be is going to be different then what you think is right so why judge people just because it doesn't follow what YOU believe to be right.
You 're allowed to give people money, you're allowed to have consensual sex, just not allowed to do both at the same time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
People are allowed to kill babies in the womb and soon enough people will be allowed to kill themselves with the aid of medicines and doctors. Prostitution pales in significiance to any of the other bodily liberties we allow or will allow here in the US.
