my opinion: why pay when you can get the same thing for free or for a couple of brewskies(have some yourself, it will help)
-
I think all "consensual crimes" should be legalized (for adults).
Gambling, prostitution, drug use, ticket scalping... you name it.
-
It is legal in the US.
Right between Utah and California.
-
I think that prophibitions in the US speak for themselves. Just do some comparison to Netherlands with quite an opposite approach to certain things.

Yep, it's not a US thing. It's a state thing. Take it to your state reps, not the US Congress.

Sandman hit the nail on the head. If nobody is injured, whats the problem?

Trying to stop prostitution is about as stupid as trying to stop people from smoking weed. Huge wastes of money and resources.
-
Yeah, legalize it and tax it instead.
The IRS can do a waaaaay better job of stamping out prozzies.

It's already legal in at least one state in the U.S. and there are I think a couple of cities that try to regulate it. As someone pointed out before, in the U.S. it's not a federal matter but a state one so it's up to the individual states to pass laws legalizing prostitution.
Ack-Ack

If they legalize it I won't be able to charge women as much. :(

No one gets hurt from drug use, or gambling? Get real 10's of thousands die each year from drug related issues. Not to mention the families and violence centered around the drug trade. You think that if they legalise drugs that no one will get hurt? Don't you think that the current "dealers" will get a bit upset that their piece of the pie will be gone? I am sorry, but thats an assinine statement. Gambling while not on the same plane as drug use is still not a wise choice, as it causes massive problems too.
As for prostitution, legalise it and make sure to regulate it. The only one's that will be hurt are the brothels in Nevada where their prices will be driven down by the competition, and maybe sex crimes will go down (doubt it though)

The Moonlite Bunny Ranch (http://www.nvbrothels.net/mlbr/ladies.shtml) in Nevada is a all- American establishment, as I just heard on the morning Channel 11 News that they are having a 50 day "Service Men Appreciation" (something like that)promo of sorts.
Discount, free t-shirts etc. for service men. If someone finds the news link, post it.
Come on down Captain SOB! Your AH flight valor needs to be appreciated. "Airforce Amy" is waiting!

If drugs were 'legalized' there would be no drug trade, and these dealers would be out of the picture.
That said, I think the idea of drug legalization is very simplistic, and that it may cause more problems than it would solve.

Yes, prostitution should be legal, and regulated like any other "service" industry. Safer for both the clients and the servers.
It would be interesting to see if legalized prostitution would cause a decrease in the number of rapes committed in the US.

Data?
Where is it?
The DOJ figures certainly don't support this claim.

Get real 10's of thousands die each year from drug related issues.
And 10's of thousands die each year from fast-food related issues. Make the Big Mac illegal!

I dont care.
Why pay for something you can con some girl into giving you for free?

Leave Glasses' cousin out of this!

According to the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency, 105,000 Americans die annually from alcohol-related causes which could include everything from falls to drunk driving accidents to cirrhosis of the liver.
There are 365,000 tobacco-related deaths in the U.S. each year.
There were 19,102 Deaths From Drug-Induced Causes in 1999 (legal and illegal drugs) (CDC).
I think we need to recriminalize alcohol, and criminalize tobacco to avoid the harm associated with these dangerous substances and to avoid hypocrisy. I mean, shouldn't all dangerous drugs be outlawed and not just those that are less popular? Since I personally knew 3 people who died alcohol-related deaths, including cirrhosis, I can personally speak for the danger from alcohol. Of course, obesity kills even more than tobacco or alcohol, so banning McDonalds and enforcing mandatory exercise classes before work like they have in North Korea should be enforced with criminal penalties for those who abstain. I'm sure y'all (or at least Bodhi) will agree with me on such a common sense thing.
Ah well, time to pour myself a black and tan and get ready to mow the lawn.

Seems to me that most "drug related crime" stems from a need to get money to pay for the stuff. Don't you think this would be inherently lessened if the black market markup went away?

Careful. Rational arguments are not tolerated.

rc51 -- saw a piece on the unionization of strippers in San Francisco.
Unionization of legal prostitutes would do wonders for the working conditions in many parts of the world. Imagine what's it must be like for them to have a "sucky day at work"; or when the boss f###s them in the ### over a paycheck.
And I think it was Charlie Sheen (or was it martin. one of htose guys) who, after being busted with a ho, answered the question "Why take a prostitute when you can sleep with any girl you want?"
the response was along the lines of:
"You don't pay them to sleep with you. You pay them to go home afterwards."

Damn.. he burnt you creamo. I'm almost ashamed we're in the same squad.
Maybe we could trade creamo and fatty straight across for rip. That way we'd have an excellent commander and get rid of a putz like creamo.
Nah... our squad couldn't handle the influx of ubert wit.
