Do libertarians support child prostitution?

Libertarians say there should be no regulations or restrictions on the exchange of goods and services, right? They want to repeal laws against child labor, and prostitution.

So does this mean child prostitution would be legal in a libertarian society?

Libertarians are pretty wacky sometimes but they're not evil.

I have literally never heard a libertarian argue in favor of child labor, or of abolishing regulations against it.

No, libertarians think whores should be relegated to brothels and government.

I don't think I've ever heard a libertarian say they are for child prostitution.

No, because sexual contact requires consent and children can't give consent. famicommander

Employment also requires consent. If a 9 y/o can consent to working as a coal miner, then why not a prostitute?

I honestly don't think they would directly support it, but I don't think they would oppose it.. Much like how Rand Paul got jousted by all ends in suggesting he would support a Businesses right to bypass the Civil Rights acts.. sSubZerOo

Nah, I don't believe that. There are some things in this country that transcend political ideology. Child labor is wrong, child prostitution is wrong, etc.

Are you serious?:lol:

Legal prostitution when of age, maybe. A child? They have ideas and thoughts on how the country should be but they aren't a rabid pack of sick bastards.

I don't think they would ever support child prostitution, no.. But labor? I can see them supporting that even if they specifically don't just due to ideological reasons.. Of not wanting much if any regulation outside of extremely basic ones.. sSubZerOo

Ah, ok. Misunderstanding on my part. I'm some what impartial to the idea, but mainly against it, due to that fact that they're not mature physically or mentally, and have alot they need to establish in those early years; School, making friends, getting a better grasp of responsibility and respect etc.

As a previous poster stated, no since there's really no consent.

As for child labor, I'm not opposed to it but that doesn't mean I'm okay seeing children working factory jobs. Perhaps it's fine if they work just to sweep floors for a small wage or something like that. Afterall, we allow Hollywood to use children and the things I've heard about the treatment of child actors from adults to employees aren't pretty.

yeah, they totally support it, stossel did a whole show about how great it is.

Child labor yes but not prostitution. Or did Stossel actually do something on Child prostitution.

do statists support cops murdering innocents? it happens under their system, it is obviously a key stone of their beliefs. surrealnumber5

Libertarianism is a philosophy that sounds good in passing, but that really doesn't hold up to any scrutiny. Society needs rules and regulations to function. And if you think it doesn't, you have an overly optimistic view of human nature. Just look at all of the damage deregulating the financial industry caused.

wait i got another one.

are they people you don't like? then hells yes they are guilty of the most heinous shyt you can think up and spread about. that's just how we argue now.

As much as I like Stossel, somehow I would see him doing this. :P

Ironically it is many of society's "necessary" rules and regulations that cause harm.
