1)there is no such thing as perfect protection. a condom can break. a pill can fail. spermicides do not always work. there is no way to guarantee against pregnancy or stds.
2)legalizing prostitution would not eliminate child prostitution, or "white slavery", or anything of the sort. that's like saying legalization of marijuana would eliminate the sale of heroin.
3)sex crimes would not decrease in the slightest, except for the crime of prostitution. rape of prostitutes would increase with their availability. same with their murder. |
Man, you blew every last one of those points:
1. Patriot said that there would be
better control of VD, not eradication of it...What's so hard to understand? Patriot is absolutely right - if prostitutes had to be tested and such, the amount of customers getting VD would be almost zilch, hence cutting down on STDs.
2. Okay, you have a (weak) point here. Make that one less point that you've blown.
3. Oh God, are you serious? First of all, a HUGE amount of sex crimes that occur involve prostitutes; if there's a bunch of people waiting for their turn in an office or house (not on the streets, as Patriot mentioned), you think anyone's gonna rape the hooker or kill her with people around? Okay, maybe some still would, but there would still be a considerable decrease in sex crimes.
Patriot, I believe you made some good points, whether they were originally yours or from some study. Good job ;) although teh thought of hookers, legal or illegal, still makes me wanna puke. :o
