		<description>While I can follow some of the logic you've put forth, Bonnie, I'm afraid your conclusions fall a bit short.  Firstly, prostitution is all around us, in every major city in the world.  It's there now, and it's always been there.  Granted, even in regulated brothels, no one is sending the Johns in for checkups, but at least the sex worker is.  In my book, the percentages still play a lot better.

I'm also unsure about your reasoning behind increased frequency involving rapes.  In a legalized brothel, there is security.  Management is monitoring all activity in the room, and if any John (who has to pay in advance) gets out o hand they're booted out on his ear in a heartbeat.

Regarding the advertising.  Open any phonebook or read any newspaper, and you'll find there are ads for escorts in your home now.  You can't advertise pornographic videos on television or on billboards, nor can you find ads for cigarettes on TV.  The FCC has control on that end.  I agree, you don't ever want to hear your child say they want to grow up to be a streetwalker, but I also think that's a bit of a stretch in your reasoning.  

Porn is out there.  Sex is just that.  Sex.  Your child is more likely to want to grow up to be a murderer with the amount of violence that passes for family programming these days.  Why is violence so much more acceptable in this society and sex is so taboo?  No one is expected to ever have to kill or harm another human being, but it's a foregone conclusion that you will fuck another person.  Why is this such a big deal?</description>

		<description>I definitely see both sides of the issue. But regulating prostitution will not help society. By legally nationalizing prostitution, a whole big arena of other problems will spring up. First, prostitites that get checked every week for std's and every month for HIV are not protecting themselves but trying to protect their costomers. Costomers should get checked also, because let's say a prostitute contracts and STD from a customer on monday, by friday when she gets her next check up she probably would have slept with about fifty other guys that now have the STD, so the issue that it is helping regulate STDs is irrelevant unless the prostitute gets checked after every customer she entertains. Second, Rape will definitely increase and crime will definitely increase. Why? Buying sex is like gambling, you can easily get addicted to it. Let's say a man comes with money every week, as a loyal customer because he just can't get enough of sex, but lets say this time he's short on money. Because he is mad and raging with hormones he might end up raping an innocent girl, or the prostitute herself when she leaves. Or as another approach he could easily go to a local store and rob them or he could rob a civilian or a bank for that matter just to obtain the money to go and have sex with this prostitute. At the same time, if prostitution was legalized, advertising a "profession" or business isn't illegal, so innocent children would be exposed to things like sex and porn at very young ages, when they should be watching sesame street to learn their ABC's. The issue of rated movies come to mind also, there would be no need to rate movies anymore, so an eight year old could walk in and watch an R-rated movie without the consent of his or her parents. To end my comment, things will definitely get out of hand in society, and i wouldn't want to hear my young girl say, " Mommy, I want to be a prostitute when i grow up."</description>

		<description>Well thanks, Justin.  Nice to hear one of my oldest friends railing against my "nut position."  You ought to know that I didn't ahve a Christian upbringing, so there's no guilt there.  I clearly point out that women as a commodity is the exact issue of prostitution, not so much my view of them, and lastly, I've never paid for sex.  Well, that's not true....I got married.  

But you do bring up a valid point which I did not address.  Underaged prostitutes.  It's possible, though unlikely, that legal brothels have any need to break the law when it comes to minors.  They already sell sex.  There aren't that many brothels and they are heavily, heavily watched, not just by the government agencies who regulate the industry, but also right wing activists and evangelicals on a righteous crusade.  Any of these brothels slip up and any one of these watchdogs would have them shut down in a heartbeat.  Now where do you think you'd more likely find an underaged hooker?  In a legal brothel, or on the back streets of Washington D.C.?

I know you won't see this Justin, but I'm posting it for posterity, and for anyone that may read this following your tirade.  Much love, brothah.</description>

		<description>Dood! It's just like Marijuana, it's never gonna get legalized for two reasons: 1) Legalizing it would be synonymous with condoning it, which no politician in or out of his mind would do and 2) All of that money that is being spent  to suppress the "Sex Trade", you think the precincts that get that money want to give that up and switch to enforcing on some of the more dangerous vice law breakers?  It's always easier to spot and bust a prostitute than a dealer or a pimp.

And as for 'covering all the bases'.  What about those that are under the age of consent?  I saw no mention of how legalizing prostitution would protect those kids out on the street.  What are the odds that some legalized brothel has a few behind the counter 'specials' for the twisted connoisseur? Legalizing prostitution isn't gonna solve any problems.  If you want to change the laws, add more protections for the prostitutes and opportunities to get out of the profession.  Counseling or a relocation program to get them away from their pimps and suppliers.

Really what most of these kind of 'articles' that address prostitution in this way are doing is trying to build support for a way to alleviate the guilt (something instilled by their Christian based upbringing, they are covering up with an over-obvious criticism of 'religion') someone is feeling about either:  having paid someone for sex or thinking of women as a commodity, a piece of equipment they'd like to rent not buy.

What a murky subject from such a small town perspective, with no substance just mental masturbation.</description>
