Interesting....
(BTW....welcome back!) I think it's good in a way to assist those individuals that being forced into the sex-slave industry and yet I wonder about the health of the sex workers as STDS/HIV is common and what their plan is in combating and regulating it? |

George Carlin quote: Selling is legal. Screwing is legal. How come selling screwing is illegal?
If prostitution is legal, then it can be regulated. It can be zoned. The hookers can be licensed. (Which allows health inspections. And verification of age.) Thus it would be better off for us to have less worries about sex diseases and underage postitution.

Amsterdam's model is admired by many. STD/HIV incident rates are lower with legal prostitutes than with illegal. I find it odd that many who finds this morrally reprehnsible would find nothing wrong with widespread and, even, state-sponsored gambling.

I think it's a good idea because it frees up resources for police to concentrate on prosecuting actual criminals and it makes it so that they cannot retaliate against sex workers for being sex workers, even if they report legitimate crimes against them.
Yes, no one likes prostitution. However, if there's an union for sex workers, I would assume that they have the same protections as any other employee in an union and that they have rigorous STD/HIV testing and other safety procedures in place. |

Sex workers vs. crimes against humanity . . . let us see . . . what would you think I'd choose to be the enemy?
Seriously, they are there to satisfy a need (we LOVE sex!). Because of prostitution's underground status, prostitutes are coupled with those who have the talent of providing the service. What gives? In legalizing (and, therefore, regulating) the service, the government and society stands to win. What can we lose? A model that's expected all to follow?

Carlin said it best as well. There are also Libertarians that support legalization of prostitution. I'm all for it for the reason alone of protecting the well being of sex workers. They are often dehumanized and forgotten after they are murdered. |

I have lived in San Francisco for years and there was no lack of prostitution of any kind. City is full of strip clubs and they all have girls offering different services. I have never heard once one of them getting investigated or closed. You can also see street girls on various streets though police was less tolerant to it. You all also know Asian massage clubs, escort services and also today woman are advertising themselves over the internet. San Francisco was never shy about any of these.
In all those years I noticed San Francisco goverments attitude towards all these was letting them happen in a controled envoriment. Thats why it is not weird to hear they are trying to make it legal now. They already regulate it by deciding when to step in and when to look other way. But if it becomes legal , it can be controled better. Hermes |
