What do you think of legalizing prostitution??

I am for it, I know the tax issue would be a big deal cause most pay cash but if ran through the Brothel Houses like in Nevada that couls really keep an eye on things, and they are very clean and strict about things.

I have never understood how woman can go to jail for getting money for sex but she could sleep with someone for a gift card and that would be legal.

Morally? Hmmm. I believe it to be more a question of common sense. Everything we do in this life is directly related to every other thing we do. Consequently, if we do something bad... it will come back on us, and visa=versa. It's more a question of basic right and wrong. I don't think we really need some four thousand year old stone tablets to tell us right from wrong. Again, common sense has to always be the deciding factor in governing people's actions. There will always be people who violate the basic laws of nature (morality or whatever). The bible, man's laws, etc, hasn't stopped the rapists, child molesters, murderers, and the rest yet (throughtout the entire history of man on this earth). Do you really need politicians or religious leaders to tell you that these things are wrong? The original laws regarding these criminal actions were instituted to act as punishment, not preventatives.

Hmmm I am not talking about the ten comandments here allthough commen sense and morality seem to go hand in hand.

Laws are based on morality when it comes down to it. Not everyone has Commen Sense nor Morals therefor there are laws in place to make sure we all know them and no there are consequences. WIthout these there would be chaos. I may not agree with religion in every aspect of it. I have my own beliefs in God and do not think the bible is his word. But I have to be thankful so many people believe in something more than themselves. I think it is that which stops them from doing other things knowing there will be someone or something they will have to answer to in the end.

Every country has there own ideas of commen sense.

Some countries believe if you steal you should loose an arm and that is commen sense, I feel that is a bit extreme and lord knows if that were the case I would have no limbs by age 12. Some believe in vigile ante sp? crimes. We do not. You can pick apart commen sense. But regardless it all goes back to morals. I person with a good sense of morals will not be the ones out there commiting the crimes, when people forget about others and care about only them selves and what there needs are you will see these crimes arrising.
