I would never engage in it; never have, never will. There's plenty of things in life that I think people spend their money on unwisely and prostitution would fall into that category. I would never presume to ban any behaviour unless it posed a clear risk to the participants or to me. (And if I'm not there I don't see how it involves me. 😛)

I am for it. Simply to make it safer
Put another way, "I would not want my mother or daughter doing it but hey, at least someone out their is willing to do it to keep society safer for us all?"
Ain't it great that people are willing to throw their lives away so that we can all feel safer walking the streets?
Nice!!

Put another way, "It's not my place to order my wife or adult daughter to live their life a certain way against their will. If I married or raised a whore and don't like it it's my own damn fault."
Ain't it great that people are willing to use gunmen to force others to live a certain way? Long live liberty and freedom!

Originally posted by BadwaterThere's a very good possiblity that there are many people out there not as adept at wacking off as you are. As a result, legalized protitution would both provide a welcome release and faciltate a strong economic cash flow model.

Plus, never say never, you might be hurting for cash one of these days and turning a few tricks might do the trick.

For example, you may feel that your pursuit of freedom entitles you to wander around free and naked. I, on the other hand, may have no desire to see your dangly bits. You are, in effect, infringing upon my happy rights. Should you persist in your pursuit of freedom, I'd love to see you batoned by large men in riot gear. Ultimately, you'll find that as part of society, our rights shift at the whim of society.

My safer statement is more in reference of the thought that prostitutes in Nevada (the only legal place in the U.S.) have access to police protection if so needed. Are screened regularly for disease and have ready access to birth control and counseling at thier places of work. Which is to say is not some street corner and car combo.
P.S. My argument would be more in depth if I wasn't typing on the Wii

You're being ridiculous.
Rights to no shift at the whim of anyone. Whether they are recognized or not does.
I think that public places should probably have anti-nudity laws if that's what the public wants. That's similar to what you're saying without the immoral implications your phrasing has.

Yes you have rights to protect your personal freedom, pursuit of happiness, blah, blah, blah.
Unfortunately, we are subject to the whims of society. Perhaps more importantly, those of our goverment. Conform or find yourself at odds with the wheels of "justice".
The fact is we don't get to do whatever we want. The laws of society limit your freedoms. The stated intent is to protect the rights of society at large. To protect the greater good if you will.
You made the statement "if that's what the public wants". Doesn't that little caveat limit your freedoms in itself. You're basically making my argument for me. Either you're free or you aren't, isn't that correct?

Originally posted by Hand of HecateNo, I'm not making your argument for you, because your argument is that there are no inalienable rights, but that rights are instead whims of the moment.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungOkay, for the sake of clarity, please state which rights (or even one of them) you feel are inalienable and I'll try to outline to you my concerns.
