It's a fine line to determine which ones are real traffickers and which ones take girls who wish to go. This is an intersting topic that includes areas as development, human rights, crime, immigration and the even debate the right to prostitution.

I defend the case for legalization of prostitution, for me pimps are the worst problem in the whole scenario and this would be a step towards diminishing their racketing power over prostitutes.

I also don't see anything wrong with consenting voluntary prostitution. Illegality is an extra toll on those who do it for survival and there seems no point to criminalize those who don't need to do it, but do it all the same.

Your thoughts?

I have to say; Whats the differance in dinner, movie, wine and dine = 100+$ for sex and just cutting through all that and just hand her about the same price. ..when she consents one way its legal, consents the other way its not. the only differance is tax $ gets distributed to places of buisness one way (legal) and not the other .

Setting aside legal and illegal, I think there is a difference. One way you have a romantic evening out. two people learning about each other, enjoying each other (hopefully), and more or less acting in a dignfied, civilized manner. The other way you have a half-hour (maybe) business transaction between a John and a whore.

But in this case, you cannot set apart these.

All depends on what you want, biology or romance. I like a bit of romance. (Good grief, Delmer, you're going to be the only male on this website who feels that way!)

We're not talking about what we prefer anyway. We're talking about what we should be allowed to do by the law.

Yes, but if it's illegal due to moral issues, then I have to ask what is immoral about the act itself.

You can not legislate morality or immorality. I mean, you can pass laws and judgments and prohibitations and perscriptions(which still doesn't mean you should do it) but morality is not regulated or created or enforced by laws but by the level of maturity of society. Of course you might make an argument that laws do mirror the society (tolstoy said that prisons do...)but that is a whole new can of worms.

Who's talking about legislating morality?

I'm saying morality legislates, not the other way around. Prostitution is illegal due to moral reasons, is it not? I'm willing to defend those reasons are invalid.
