¿Question #1307?
[Deleted user]: [deleted question]

goldenboat: I thought we did already.
Der Ubermolch: Sure. Go for it.
Beyak: yes
Numskull: We've already got "escort services", which are prostitution by another name.
Butterbane: and regulate it -- and require immunizations & testing -- and maintaining rigorous structures
DHEK: Yes. Prostitution is the same as any other job.
Brentoon: Well, there are ups and downs to making it legal, and this is proven by other countries legalizing it. Now, if you don't make it legal, then you have the spread of STD's, and many people going to jail. If you do legalize it, though, you can keep an eye on prostitution with STD tests that will make the world of prostitution a lot safer....BUT there wil be a large increase in how many people are prostituting,and with prostitution increasing that increases the number of child prostitution, which would start braking the laws of child prositution. Either way, laws are going to be broken, so, imo, might as well go with the one that will have less children doing things they shouldnt
aleo09: i don't know much about either side of the argument. my first thought is no.
martybjsg: No.
POvidiusNaso: Nope.
jeffwolfe: Why not?
buffalospynovel: yes, plus then the revenue it generates could help support infrastructure and health programs for the less fortunate.
hob69: The question is should be it be regulated?
GrimJester: Yes. Drugs, gambling, suicide, all of it.
MaksimSmelchak: Legalized prostitution beats out illegal prositution and regulated prostitution would prevent the spread of infectious diseases to a great extent. We have legalized pornography so why not? It would still be an individual's decision, legal or not.
Nils: Yes. Sex for money is a valid service.
vampywife: Hmm...there are good reasons for and against it, so I'll abstain from this one.
Cut & Space: Yes, but with some law around it
ZombyDawg: No. The states should decide.
Karmic_devil: will it bring down the price of boardgames?
themagni: Why not? It's run by whores anyway.
mats-k: Yes
RinzaiZen: why not?
crimsonking: No
MartinTrouman: legalize prostitution, pot and outlaw guns... sounds right to me..
ct_cruiser: no
dietevil: Yes, it tends to be safer in places where it is legal, and it will always happen anyway. Let the prostitutes get the money, not their pimps.
Loquutus: Only in certain areas.
Tushratta: No.
Kazin: Yes. A union should also be formed.
Joanna Olsen: And abortion too ...
bigbadsteve: nah, theres enough hooker skank already
brainrob: who cares?
_Kael_: No. Less tourists would go to Amsterdam ("No, I am REALLY here for the windmills" - yeah sure)
ping9x: Yes
locusshifter: no
cerulean: Leave it to the individual counties to decide.
Dr. No: yes, why not? It' safer for all.
notquitekarpov: Is it illegal? Not in UK, only soliciting or living off immoral earnings (pimps/madams)
Legend Dan: Yes.
sbszine: Yup. It's going to happen whether it's legal or not, so why not regulate it and enforce health / working condition / pay standards?
thoia: probably not.
rdmasters: What's the ruleset like?
Lord_Prussian: No
isbert: no
dakarp: Yes. There are problems whether it is legal or illegal, but at least if it is legal, the worst parts can be regulated.
shotokanguy: Yes. We have no business telling consenting adults what they can and can't do.
RandallPeek: It is... Only individual states determine its legality, and my home state of Nevada has legalized it in some areas.
skrutsch: I don't think so.
BaSL: The US should legalize a lot of things
Sceadeau: Yes
PopeBrain: yes.
scriptorum: You mean on a federal level? You can always go to Vegas..
snoozefest: sure
heli: parts of the US already have
djlg: Yes.
WasQ: Prostitution should be legalize around the world, to be honest with ourself and to maintain a good control
puffinge: Yes, but there are complications of course.
DenverWolf: No
isolated: No. It's immoral. Well it is.
Oborro: no
Windopaene: Yep, and a lot of other things as well...
gnomehome: Aren't there more pressing matters to deal with ? Evolution theory.
fizzix: Regulation and taxation is the best way to deal with most vices
Salt-Man Z: No.
tragicpoet: No, there's no way any prostitute would report their true earnings, tax laws would crumble
netfilterz: Sure...
BobDodgerBlue: No
jellospike: Keeping it criminal won't ever make it disappear. Making it legal will keep the money out of the organized crime's pockets.
Bozzutoman: Sure. If someone can earn money by letting others exploit their mind, why not let people do it with their bodies? Tax it, require regular checkups and outlaw pimps... fuzzy hats should be illegal anyway.
Flyspeck23: It'll exist anyway, so it probably would be a good thing for the people working in the "industry".
buergerberatung: who really cares, but yes of course, why not ?
Jackwraith: Sure. Why not?
Shakar: Yes.
MisterCranky: The US should stay the hell out of my life.
louiseh: Since I don't live there I don't have an opinion. The UK should.
jttm: I thought it was legal
viogression: Yes
ynnen: No. Never. It's already too easy revel in immorality.
Blackwind: yes
haraggan: I think so, but I haven't really thought through all of the ramifications
CDRodeffer: There's no US federal law against it -- it's strictly the domain of the states.
ValJor: Yes. I mean, everybody knows it exists, a lot of people use its services, a lot of people profit from it... So the question is really why not?
skelebone: Perhaps, but there are a lot of regulatory issues involved.
chaddyboy_2000: No.
Spielfreak: no
CortexBomb: I think so, there's really no good reason for it to not be legal that I've heard
