fine there is still a black market, there is one for alcohol so what? Let's see what was the bigger problem prohibition type violence or moonshiners today?
there is a black market for everything. black market does not = violence, sex trafficing, human trading and under age girls every where etc.

and please give me reasons why it should stay illegal. I have an open mind, I am just of the reasoning that laws do not stop or deter certain behaviors, they just cost us money in the form of incarceration, enforcement, etc and they just cost us rights like no knock warrents, illegal wire tapping, etc

I would also like to add that I know for a fact that someone who worked at a police station was a virgin when he turned 21 and the COPS chipped in and bought the guy a hooker.

If you want to see the reasons why he thinks prostitution should be illegal, go to this thread: LINK
If you don't want to read it all: he's fearful that his future daughter will become a prostitute, and he needs it to be a crime so he can teach her right from wrong.

might be the dumbest reason I have ever heard in my life. I am fearful my kids will be killed in a car wreck, I dont want cars made illegal. and makeing something legal does not mean we are teaching our children it is an ok thing to do. That is up to the parents. Herion could become legal tomorrow, guess what I still wouldn't use it and nobody I know would either just because it is legal. By making it legal you are teaching your kids that you can not legislate morality and that you can not control what others do/like etc and that trying to legislate behavior only leads to a thriving violent black market.

Yea. I think he honestly believes that the minute prostitution is legalized, everyone woman in the country will immediately become a prostitute and forego even attempting to have a moral life.
Basically, the country descends into the depths of Sodom and Gommorah in a matter of seconds.

Well, they would start paying federal income tax on it. I can see where someone may be against all federal income tax on principle, but if I'm going to pay income tax, I think the hos should too.

income tax is fine I meant placing it on the business. I am against federal taxes the way they are now but i agree if i have to pay income tax they should be too.

Political pandering.
Hence, no politician wants to be labeled the "pro-prostitution" guy.

you pretty much summed up my feelings on why most things are illegal.
I could make this same thread about steroids, and people are going to say it is cheating, keep it out of sports, keep it away from children etc.
Bottomline is no proffessional athlete has went to prison for steroids and the normal gym rat isn't cheating anybody and allowing a black market allows children easier access to things.
same thing for weed, prostitution, etc

price competition =/= black market
This isn't about price competition.
All legal prostitutes will have the same overhead costs such as license fees, taxes, monthly medical tests, etc. so they will have to charge a higher price for their service than woman who are not legal prostitutes but are desperate to make some fast easy money.
Just because prostitution is made legal that won't mean there won't still be a black market especially since it is so easy for a woman to be a prostitute and it takes practically no financial investment other than the cost of a box of condoms and a motel room.

So asserting if prostitution is legal there won't be a black market for prostitution is incorrect.
So that can't be used as a reason to legalize prostitution. That's all.

Most moonshiners have become pot growers and there is still a lot pot growing violence.

The black market in prostitution does = violence, sex trafficking, human trading and under age girls every where, etc. so if making prostitution legal won't stop all those things from happening then why make prostitution legal?

I'm not going over all of my reasons for opposing the legalization again but you can read them in the other threads on the subject.
However, let me ask you one question.
Do you want your daughter to grow up thinking that being a prostitute is a legitimate future job option?

You as a parent can teach your children that you can't legislate morality all you want.
However, in the case of making heroin or any other drug legal to use, at least it will cost your children money to get it to use.
In the case of making prostitution legal, you may personally think by making it legal it is not teaching your children that it is an okay thing to do but if it becomes a legal way to make quick, easy big bucks that will entice your children into considering it a legitimate future job option.
Is that what you want your children to think?

Even though allowing someone the FREEDOM to do something isn't supporting that thing, if allowing someone the FREEDOM to do something results in that person making quick, easy big bucks then it will entice your children into considering it a legitimate future job option.
Is that what you want?
