I disagree with the idea of prostitution but making it legal does at least mean it can be made safer for the girls who are involved in it

Don't really see why it shouldn't be legal. I think there's kind of a fear that monogamous relationships could be more easily violated if there's legal prostitution, but I think a regulated sex trade is better for everyone than an unregulated black market sex trade. Think of the tax revenue alone.

i think that there is a very good case for a form of legalise prostituton...
regular health check ups, safe working locations.. Free to be able to report abusive and violent customers.

well ever since the invention of cheap mass produced condoms and STI treatments, we have had that..

Well if you're playing the religious angle, you could argue that Christianity advocates sex only for making babies and nothing else - especially not for pleasure. Also according to Christianity, wives are for bearing and raising children and nothing else, so you know...

I think sexual liberation came with women's liberation - her choice not to just be a means for procreation.

Prostitution should be legal, just in certain areas of a city, and no organized prostitution.

By organized prostitution, I mean it shouldn't be operated as a business, rather it should be prostitutes working for themselves. Obviously, this won't be followed, which is partially why the whole thing is illegal, as well as it is deemed "immoral" to sell sex.

Well, prostitutes need to live, to afford food & rent. Organised prostitution, in the sense of it being moved to certain areas, eliminating curb crawlers & removing pimps from the process. State run brothels! That means you ensure a certain standard of health & safety for a start.

I didn't say the state should fund prostitutes (though plenty of countries have legalised prostitution, or at least decriminalised prostitution & get by just fine). The punters would still fund the hookers, the state would just take a cut of it in exchange for safe, clean working enviroment & regular STD checks. It raises funds for the treasury, not take them away. I also believe that the state should provide licensed premises for selling drugs. Similar in concept to the state run off-licenses for selling alcohol in Scandinavia, only selling coke & acid instead of bourbon. I don't really care what easily offended moralistic bible thumpers have to say about what's moral to be honest, so long as they keep harping on about "eye for an eye" & similar neanderthal bullshit. Taking moral advice from those sorts is like taking sex tips from a virgin: they haven't got a clue.



A) What does their gender matter? There are plenty of male prostitutes out there, why should they not also get protection from absuive Johns?
B) You don't understand economics. I mean I don't either to a massive degree, but your suggestion here is ridiculous. For companies to hire these women to "make plastic toys and clothes/shoes" they'd need to do it for less than people in third world countries. And why on earth would they accept pennies a day when the cost of living in Britain or America is far higher than it is in Bangladesh or wherever? They'd be better off swallowing mens cum, financially speaking. Welcome to free market economics. Your suggestion has no basis in reality. Capitalism does not care about where you are from, only that companies are making the maximum profits it can.
C) HUH? "We can turn a larger profit", who is the we in this statement? And "stealing the money of our citizens"? Who is doing the stealing? Also, the last thing America needs is to spend more money on its military. In 2009 40% of global arms spending was by America, which is 6 times higher than China. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND UTTERLY UNSUSTAINABLE

It is not up to the government to decide what adult has cosenting sex with what adult. If pepole want to have the disgusting job of having sex with random paying strangers, let them go ahead and do it. I still think it's disgusting.
