@kevcvs57 saidMaybe you're right.
They’re a bad idea for all sorts of reasons but better than male and female addicts getting picked off the street, safety in numbers is one upside if prostitution has to exist. But neither is my idea of a good night ou5.
I once had a discussion here about whether prostitution should be legal. I reluctantly agreed with other posters that maybe it should be legal under certain circumstances, but the more I think about it the more it just seems like a bad idea to legalize it.
Capitalism + anything = exploitation. Prostitution in the hands of business owners is sure to cause horror stories.

@mott-the-hoople saidCasino owners just don't want that kind of bad publicity that having pimps arrested in their casinos every night would bring, so they lobbied the state legislature until they gave in.

Amen to that, the worker exploits the employers need for employees, the employer exploits the employees need for work. They enter into a mutually beneficial exchange of value for value. And that's a good thing, hooray for vivify.

The NZ story. Legalised in 2003 and despite the make up horror stories the change barely rated a blip, except that brothels that had previously operated openly and safely now became subject to zoning laws and had to move. Also local councils invented positions for bureaurat inspectors checking this, that and the other, beds up to standard etc, now they could openly parasitically leach off the brothel businesses. The parasites being about the only horror story to come from the change, despite what hand wringers, teeth gnashers and other busybodies said.

@wajoma saidNew Zealand is a famously progressive country with a huge emphasis on social equity and welfare programs. NZ is not a typical nation.

If the U.S. had its sh¡t together like NZ does, I wouldn't object to prostitution. But in a nation where sexual assault, abductions, drug addiction and murder is so high, I can't see prostitution being a good idea. Especially given how businesses run government policies rather than people. Can you imagine Jeff Bezos running a brothel?
NZ gets the green light for prostitution. Countries like the U.S.? Bad idea.

@sonhouse saidSunstroker, you're overdue to start another Trump thread.

Bozo probably regrets not being able to use a few thousand slaves.
