Paying for Sex

Another ridiculous law or do you think it will make a real difference: http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/l...cle5192358.ece

My fav quote " “The bankers screw people for money and they get bailed out; we screw people for money and ministers throw up their hands in horror".

one way or another you pay for it-its just WHEN you realise that it hits you!!

I think it'll drive it underground. Wouldnt it be easier just to legalise it ?

Aberdeen used to have a legal red light district..

legal for the girls to be there, illegal for the people to pick them up.

Saves it being driven underground, making the risks for the working girls less..

Yup. And then they abolished it, and now half of aberdeen is complaining about working girls in the city centre, attacks are up too. Good work that. Having said that, I'd be nimbying like **** if my street became a tolerance zone.

my view is, if a man/woman wants to sell their assets as it were for the payment of money (prostitution), then that is entirely up to them. its about time this boring old country of ours woke up and smelt the roses.

personally i have and never would pay for the 'services' of a prostitute, but i would not condone anyone being or using such services. i think that if these people want to live a life of prostitution than that is entirely up to them, they are doing the public a favour in that, if it were not available then some people that use the services might think about gaining it otherwise e.g. by rape...

two consenting adults can do whatever they want, if they want to have sex and exchange money for it who gives two ****s?

i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the home secretary is a woman who resembles a shoe that's recently fallen out of the ugly tree and smacked it's face on every branch on the way down, and obviously doesn't get "it" as often as even the most syphilitic ginger Aberdeen hooker?
