Prostitution

About time it was legalised? Could bring in lots of revenue for the government, will keep the ladies (or gentlemen) safer from attacks from nutters who think its ok to apply a bit of slap with their tickle...

or could it fuel the continuing downward spiral of society. the lack of respect for your neighbour, policemen, teachers etc has plumetted over the last 20 years, could this fuel the fire

your thoughts....?

It would be great to be able to sell my body legally on a licensed premises for five dollar.

Anyone up for a go? Me love you longtime

I am neither here nor there. I can see positives and negatives.
I'll wait to hear from my friends after this weekend's trip to amsterdam and see what their opinion of it is.

Never have, never will, but yes, it should be legalised in my opinion.

Why not. I really don't see the harm that it can do to the industry. It can only make it better for the girls, and boys who decide that this is their career. It also means that their drugs can be tax deductible

I agree. I think the more protection and laws there are in place to protect the girls and boys who decide to take it up as a profession the better.

People are going to do it regardless of law/religion/ so called moral views, so why not make sure they are doing it in a safe controlled situation.

But let’s face it, there is no way in 100 years that the government will ever risk their reputation and make it legal. It is a far to radical change to society for any government to be brave enough to do

no-most peoples idea of a w-hore is the pretty woman type, in reality its more like the crazy heroin jagging hep-c carrying, bang you for a tenner or, fifteen with no johnny sad individual.

After much deliberation , I've gone with snigger.
Although I don't agree with it I think it should be monitored and taxed.
I'm not sure I agree with the safety argument though , police ignore brothels as it is - they have the option to work at them..

playing devils advocate then, wouldnt legalising it make this less likely? there would have to be health certificates provided to show that all who offer the service are clean. i believe the porn industry has the same laws and regulations, they all have to have 3 monthly check ups etc
