Should Prostitution Be Legal?

[Weltall]

Isn't that more their decision---if a woman wants to be a whore, who are YOU to say she can't? She isn't a sexual object, but she's a material posession---to be bossed around. I say women should be able to prostitute--with legal restrictions; i.e. STD screenings, or something to that extent.

Well, I guess the idea would be that it would be better for women who would not be under the control of sadistic pimps, but the idea still rubs me the wrong way. Prostitution is the sort of thing that should be phased out of society, not given a kiss and a blessing.

Freedoms are tanking worse than morality.

I disagree. Strenuously. People use the word 'freedom' to justify doing whatever they damn well please. It doesn't quite work that way. Freedom has it's limits, and it should. Sacrificing morality for the sake of 'freedom' is a good chunk of the reason society is so fucked up today.

Public masturbation as in...what Pee Wee Herman did? You're being immature now--people can consent to being a hookers, and people can consent to having sex with hookers. It should be there choice--the government shouldn't intefere with it. Necrophilia is different, because the person cannot consent. Dog fucking is the same.

No, I'm not being immature at all. After all, in the name of freedom, don't I have a right to masturbate in public? Or even on my front lawn, my own private property? Or necrophilia? No, the person can't consent, but they're not being hurt either, cause they're dead. And dogs are animals, thus do not have rights. Hell, we force animals to do a million other things without their consent.

None of those activities hurt anyone, yet they are not allowed. Why is that? Because they are immoral and disgusting and things normal human beings simply do not do. When you start allowing smaller forms of immorality in the name of harmless fun and freedom, you have to allow the larger forms to as well, for they make the same claims with the same level of validity. To not do so would be hypocrisy.
