ORIGINAL: EPGAH Actually, I think the ones who whine most are jealous about it...Who WOULDN'T want money just for being attractive? Although there IS a double-standard inherent there: No man is worth anything if he's "living off his woman"--but a gold-digger, while despised, is accepted, and apparently, even defended! As to illegal, yes, there is supply and demand, but if you accept that, wouldn't you also have to accept drug-dealers and hitmen, since they make money, there must be a demand for them too, should that be acceptable too? But prostitution is illegal largely because of safety issues...Witness the huge scare when the pornstars (Prostitution with a camera) discovered they might have AIDS...And yes, I know there are countries where it's legal and the whores are tested, like India, but when they discover they are infected, they just move to a less-developed area and continue spreading their disease... Hi, I know you're new here. Here's three threads that are long, which illustrate some of the opinions related to prostition. They're well worth the read. Sex workers in the BDSM and D/s lifestyles legalizing prostitution? In short, I think you've adopted the same sugar coated opinion that the church and politicians have used for years to tell you not to go somewhere they can't tax or control you, because you might hurt yourself. I encourage you to do your own research, and especially take a look at models of how prostitution impacts other western societies. Same with the drug issue. I think you'd be shocked to learn how many politicians wouldn't have jobs, if there was no drug war for them to 'proudly' fight. Assassination isn't a problem for me, anymore than owning a gun is. The issue with murder for hire is rooted in the taking of someone else's life. This is, of course, assuming we're talking about murder within the US. Do you consider the state sponsored assassinations that our government is directly responsible to be ethical, just because it's legal? Would you have hired a hitman to kill Hitler if you could have? I understand there is strength in numbers, and the desire to please society is strong for some people. I'm way fine with folks like that voicing their opinions and voting in the way they do. But when they do open their mouths, they should fully expect to be called on their bullshit; you're welcome to live your life and hate on anyone you like. The second you start demanding others live the way you do, you'll find a heap o' resistance; but I think that's what this thread is showing you. Stephan
