I recall a story about a German woman living in a jurisdiction that had legal prostitution that was denied social assistance because she turned down a job as a prostitute. I wish I had more details on this but it was a quick hit news headline on the radio and I was out of my truck before they came back from commercial to give the rest of the story.

thats the shit im talking about, prostitution should only be legalized when we are absolutely sure that everyone who becomes a prostitute wants to be a prostitute, and when people want to quit prostititing themselves have a reasonable amount of other choices. We cant hae legal prostitution sucking people in who do not want to be there.

you, ofcourse, speak for ALL the men. let me guess you're just going to go to that whole "men have different needs" or something lol?

point wasn't that women don't have these needs but men always have double standards and arguing against that is foolish. i can garauntee that at least here in the States, if they try to make both male and female prostitution legal men will object. they think they can go out and do whatever and still expect their women to be faithfull to them.

Come on. Except in very specific examples, that statement is a load of crap. Prostitution "sucks people in who don't want to be there?" You could make the same argument for every single damn profession in the world. We can't have the legal system making lawyers out of people who don't want to be lawyers. In the end, it's all about a business that generates income for people. Don't diss prostitution simply because it can be a lucrative job that requires very little effort. That's not forcing someone to do something, that's providing a powerful incentive for someone who may only be concerned with making as much money possible for as little work as possible.

yes, and that last paragraph applies perfectly to the PDD posters you tried to shock with that question...

and if prostitution was not legal there, which occupation would you replace it with in the quote "german woman...was denied social assistance because she turned down a job as a ____"?

point being: would an alternative to prostitution in that blank disturb you to the same degree?

nope but it would millions of people . so what you saying is some woman/girl/female/w/e denied a job as a prostitute? Good. so she has morals and dignity.

which degrading job? hmm, secratary could be degrading to her, as could be a crosswalk crossing helper, special ed teacher, garbage..women?, lol etc.

more importantly, you honestly think that prostitution will decrease rape significantly or anything of that nature? i doubt it. also, alot of these prostitution rings (in less developed i guess is the word) countries are organized and ran by mobs and criminals, white collar or so. so what good will legal prostitution bring? except if it's controlled, less spread of STDs due to sexual intercourse.

Legal prostitution is going a bit far a la dutch style IMO, however controlled drug use would be good I think.

I dont mean, let everyone take drugs a few times a month under any circumstances, but if you are classified as a clear ADDICT with no real hope of return, government controlled facilities that just give you the cleanest and safest drugs and keep you away from everyone else... that would be a good idea, in my opinion.

If she turned down a job as a waitress and was therefore denied assistance I would not be disturbed at all. You have to keep in mind that many people have a deep routed moral objection to prostitution which could make it extremely difficult to live with themselves if they engaged in it. Additionally, there are a multitude of personal health and safety risks associated with this profession that one must consider and chances are many constitutions would hold one cannot be forced to accept (certainly Canada's right to security of the person would fall into this catagory). Now, I'm actually in favour of legalizing the sex trade, however, if one were to do that special allowances need to be made with regard to all manner of Social Assistance programs, health and disability insurance polices, workman's compensation plans, etc. in order to ensure these institutions/companies could not force people to enter the sex trade or lose their benefits. That is simply unacceptable as it is essentially legislating morality much the same as making prostitution illegal has been an attempt to legislate morality.
