diesel22 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Anybody stupid enough to have sex with somebody they don't even know without using a condom deserves to get an STD. Natural selection, I'm all for it. In total agreement here !! :halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Yeah, but arent christians not suppossed to have sex until marriage? Isnt THAT the moral dilemma associated with sex? And does any christian really follow that? Where does the bible say "thou shalt not pay for cheeks"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG :laugh: Here is a question for you: Which is more immoral? 1) Soliciting a prostitute. 2) Creating a phony hospital document and using it as proof that you don't have any STD's (bc a girl said she wasn't going to sleep with you until you showed proof). I ask bc I had a very close friend do this dasterdly act and was very ashamed of him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLeVan Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 While they're at it, they should make adultery legal. Oh wait, it already is or at least not being enforced. Then again, as long as it's called an escort service or a massage parlor, prostitution is already legal. It depends on the income bracket. For those that pay well, it's overlooked more so than those that pick up an escort off the street. You don't hear of too many police stings originating from an escort service.

Darth Tater Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Prostitution IS morally wrong. however, that is not grounds to make the practice illegal. I should not custom them (directly or indirectly) this includes, for instance, that if I am a doctor, I do not have to treat them. I should not be required to support them or approve of them but that is one problem with legalization -- you can bet that there are those who would force me to enable their lifestyle. Most people who wish to legalize drugs or prostitution, also want to force me to enable such choices (in fact, I've met almost no one who does not want to use such force). The only thing that Skinsfan13 does that most who voted yes here don't is admit he would force his views on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because something is legal doesnt mean you have to do it. Who are Christians to decide what is and is not moral for everyone else? And then, which sect of Christians? What about drinking? Swearing? Eating too much? I gotta tell you, i really enjoy coveting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Cant tax it in a realistic fashion. Could govern it and such but taxation would be a problem. But it should be legal. If I tell my neighbor that I will cut his grass for 5 bucks would anyone have a problem with it ? Not likely. It is my choice to cut his/her grass at that price, I am choosing to do this labor at my price and if he/she is willing to pay it than so be it. It is my body. If I choose to be a surrogate father, give blood, donate organs, etc., than no one (or most dont) has a problem either. Seems like such a pathetic thing to police and moniter IMO.

SUNSTONE Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Besides the disease side of it, the problem with prostitution is that it's too easy to fall into. People like having sex, and if someone throws money at them, they might be tempted. You'll see hot college girls pimping themselves out, and dropping out of school because they make more selling themselves than they could ever make through college. I couldn't imagine how many girls who grew up in bad homes where the parents just didn't spend any time with them because they were "working too much", going out on the street because they didn't have the proper parenting to make them a strong individual who would do the wise thing and make money without the risk of death by disease. It's just not wise, and it's selfish to say "well I know it's dangerous, but it's not me and it's not my body, so who am I to tell them what to do."

Darth Tater Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Based on your morals. Different strokes for different folks. No, it is not based on MY morals, it is based on MORALS. Morals are the same for everybody. That is a truth proven by any argument you attempt to make against it not being truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLeVan Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Does this also mean the majority shouldn't benefit from stem cell research? I'm all for democracy, don't get me wrong, but religious morals tend to get a little bit intertwined with law making, especially these past 8 years. I fear that a little bit too much much religion has made it's way into our government. Back on topic though, if you don't frequent prostitutes good for you. If you do, it would be better that some structure be in place to protect both parties health-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBleedBurgundy&Gold1369225669 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I see no reason why it shouldn't be legalized all over. Make it mandatory for whores to take an HIV and other diesease test. Make them get it on a weekly basis so we don't help spread diseases. Have set whore houses that regulate who they hire and make sure there getting their tests. Then make them pay some kind of extra tax that goes to education. It would be safer for the whores and safer for the tricks. Personally I don't care about this issue because I won'y pay for *****. Maybe if I was 40 years old, bald and had no wife I would. No reason to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I did, its morally wrong So is sex outside of marriage probably by you and thats not illegal. In Turkey it was legal with guards with uzi's and such.. They had what looked like a strip mall surrounded by a wall.. With giant glass windows and women sitting in them with rooms. They were categorized ie. A1/A2/A3 ........ C1/C2 etc based on looks and taste.. We got our taxi driver laid for 10 bucks and 20$ cash for 11 hours worth of Taxi.... Nevada outside of Vegas its legal? Make it a State thing and let the State tax it... do a 1 for one. For every Hooker that goes down, your property taxes do also...

Prosperity Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Just curious where ya'll stand on the topic. I was watching pen and teller the other day and it had me thinking big time. I still don't understand why it's illegal. Should it be legalized? I don't see any reason why not. It is illegal because it offends the sensibilities of certain sects of society. Their sensibilities are more important than logical law. Just another law that degrades the rule of law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another law that degrades the rule of law. So devout Christians are better then the rest of us shmucks, right? What ever happened to freedom of religion? My right to say I don't care about your religion and whatever your holy book has to say? It's unbelieve to me how people can so blindly followed something they can't even prove exists. Where is this God so many people feel morally obligated to serve? Where is this God people are killing over, stealing over, blowing up innocent people over? They're are plenty of people in this world offened by this country's very existence. Does that give them the right to do everything in their power to try and kill us?

Xameil Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 If it's legal, first you can tax it. As was previously said do it on a state level. If you find it morally wrong, don't do it. People are going to goto prostitutes no matter what, so why not make sure it's safe by regular testing, and manditory condom use. Think of how much it would help with health care. As for girls finding it better to go into prostitution instead of school. I got two for that one. First, if you are worried about that, then maybe parents will start doing a better job teaching their kids morals instead of letting the TV be their teacher. Second, don't worry once the market is flooded, then it won't be economical for them to go into prostitution...the price will plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
