Why isnt Prostitution legal?

"Religious folks" are the only ones pretending to have a legitimate reasons for opposing it. In the future, when people are more educated, perhaps religion wont have such a lock-down on people's reasoning skills, and there'd be less bigotry as a result. the TC asked "Why isn't prostitution legal", and i answered it.Nibroc420

For someone who b!tches about other people lacking education and critical reasoning skills, maybe you should check your own. Some feminists oppose legal prostitution. This is so effortless to find online that I don't even see a need to post a source. Get your reasoning skills off lock-down and go to Google or Wikipedia.

Don't know but that hasn't stop me from hiring hookers.:cool:

"Some feminists", yeah I'm sure some do...Nibroc420

Yes, they do. So you're admitting you were just flat-out wrong right here:

It's good to criticize other peoples' facts and logic while talking out your ass. This may come as a surprise to you, but women's groups have had an influence on legistlation in the past.

/facepalm No-one has a legitimate reason to oppose prostitution. Religious people are the only ones who pretend to have a legitimate reason.Nibroc420

If there is no legitimate reason to oppose prostitution, then anyone opposing it is doing so for fallacious, that is "pretend" reasons. Your statement is still false. Are you admitting that or not? I'm not clear.

I thought of making a joke about your logic and reasoning skills at this point, but it seemed unnecessary.

[QUOTE="GrindingAxe"][QUOTE="FMAB_GTO"]Kids might be affected badly by it. We would see like,I dunno,5 years old prostitutes?FMAB_GTO

Indeed, kids are sneaky. That's why we see 5 year-old construction workers.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="Nibroc420"] Are you trolling again? One group says "I dont like prostitution", but has no reason to dislike it, and opposes it. Another group says "Prostitution is the devil's work, Those who commit such sin will burn in hell!" The first group doesn't even try to come up with a reason why it's bad, while the second presents this grand claim based on nothing. Religion seems to be the group trying the hardest when coming up with reasons to oppose prostitution, they have the most members, and the most money. Yet you continue to assert that little old housewives have banded together in an attempt to jail hookers, and are more successful than any other group. Seriously?Nibroc420

Yes there is, the problem is you are talking out of your ass.

Right so how would that be different compared to religious reasons?

Are you trolling again?Nibroc420

As you may be figuring out, it's a lot easier to mindlessly b!tch about other peoples' lack of knowledge than it is to do your own research and write your own argument.

One group says "I dont like prostitution", but has no reason to dislike it, and opposes it...The first group doesn't even try to come up with a reason why it's bad...

Nibroc420

Uh...yeah they do. Are you under the impression that feminist opposition to prostitution consists of "I don't like prostitution"? Not everyone is like yourself in their inability to articulate their point. It's been written about at some length. Again, this information is easily found. And you are such a brilliant debate strategist that you already established there is no legitimate reason to oppose prostitution; therefore all the feminist arguments are false.

That makes this statement of yours...

"Religious folks" are the only ones pretending to have a legitimate reasons for opposing it.Nibroc420

...logically false. You know thatlogic thing? That thing that "religious folks" don't have and you supposedly do?

Yet you continue to assert that little old housewives have banded together in an attempt to jail hookers, and are more successful than any other group.

Nibroc420

Please point out where I made this assertion.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"]

They do have reasons to oppose it. The problem here is that you're an idiot.

Nibroc420

There is no justification for it.

The discussion here isn't whether or not there is a valid objection to prostitution. It's your statement that only religious groups oppose it. This is flat out incorrect, has been pointed out to you, but you're either too dumb or too arrogant to acknowledge it. This is pretty comical set against the backdrop of your complaints about peoples' lacking facts and logic.

Well that would make the Taxi Driver less culturally relevant. Tough choice.shadowkiller11

Ehh, 'Taxi Driver' hasn't really been relevant to contemporary culture since the gentrification of Manhattan.

I assume because it's hard to tax, even if it was legal, I doubt I'd do it, because typically women who charge for sex aren't as pretty as those who don't.Fightingfan

It's not hard to tax, as Nevada has proven.

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"] There is no justification for it. Next you're going to tell me that Marijuana causes you to burst into maniacal laughter and chop your friends up with an axe, and that's a legitimate reason to make it illegal. If your opinion/belief is illogical, or simply based on a fear of something that will never occur, than it's not a legitimate reason.Nibroc420

Yes there is, the problem is you are talking out of your ass.

What do you mean religious reasons?Nibroc420

You established that there are no valid arguments against prostitution. Religious groups have their reasoning against it. Feminist groups have their reasoning against it. According to you, all of these are invalid. That makes this statement false:

"Religious folks" are the only ones pretending to have a legitimate reasons for opposing it.Nibroc420

This is not that hard to understand, Mr. Facts & Logic.

Other groups simply say "Herp Derp, 'Why do i think it should be illegal?' errr cause it's bad"
I wouldn't even consiter that an attempt at trying to have a reason.

It's good to simply generate strawman versions of arguments you know nothing about rather than do research, Mr. Facts & Logic. Your criticism of "religious folks" for their nonuse of logic and reasoning is clearly well-placed.

I don't know....there are moral laws against it. But honestly what is the difference between people taking some bar slut home for free and someone paying someone for sex? I don't like the idea of prostitution, I think it's wrong, but there isn't really a reason for it to be illegal.

Especially considering that many young girls get involved with pimps who treat them like dirt and the girls wind up dead or with HIV or other STD's. If it was legalized like it is in the Netharlands the girls would have to get health checkups to make sure they are disease free and it would be required for the men to use condoms.

Plus no pimps that would abuse them and the girls would keep all their money. Also there are already plenty of female escourt services and gentlemen clubs, and those arn't illegal at all, and we all know what they do. You can find them in the phone book if you wanted.

Of course if it was legalised I still think that society should frown upon it like we do smoking. It's something that shouldn't be encouraged.

I don't know the percentages, but the fact is that it's legal, licensed, taxed and regulated in Nevada. So clearly it's not that hard to do.

I thought the legal kind was called a relationship.

Our morals do affect our laws wether you like it or not. Religious values do inspire and influence laws to some degree, even our Constitution had some laws based on religious ones. There are no truly secular laws.

Not saying religion should be the law of the land because that would be wrong and harmful, but religion does form (part) of the basis for many laws to one extent or another.

And I don't think you read my whole post.

It's legal were im from. They take poor girls from eastern-europe and africa and trafic them up here and prostitute them. It's **** disgusting. Thats why.

Certainly some people's morals have influenced some laws. That does not mean it should be so however. Morality is subjective, and you cannot legislate it (nor should you attempt to). The only thing that should matter in regards to the law are rights and liberties. And yes, I read your entire post, do not assume otherwise.

Our morals do affect our laws wether you like it or not.

If you'd like to have an intellectual discussion, please read what is written, and don't ask questions that have already been answered. I really don't feel like repeating myself over and over while you attempt to pick apart my argument with semantics.Nibroc420

Oh, I'm picking apart your argument with "semantics"? Is that what I'm using?

I get the feeling you're that special c|ass of bad debater who will never admit that to any statement of his being incorrect. This makes you especially easy to befuddle. Since you're accusing me of arguing semantics, go ahead and point out where I do this in the my recent post:
