why is prostitution illegal in the United States?

[Lucrum]

Quote from Vinny1:

I never went to a prostitute, but I feel that prostitution should be legal. Why should anyone really care what two people want to do behind closed doors. If you take a girl out and buy her dinner, flowers, and a movie and then have sex or you just go to a prostitute, pay her directly and then have sex, either way you spent some money.

I pretty much lean this way as well.

I am not one to argue with this logic.

But then again, shit really pisses me off.

But then again... should shit really piss anyone off?


Crap.







Yes, I am buzzed, so fuck off.
Pretty much whatever Lucrum says, I agree.

Any consensual act between two adults should be legal.

Outlawing prostitution, drugs and gambling has done NOTHING to reduce it's occurrence. It has only empowered Government and organized crime, which is why it was made illegal in the first place.

I read a quote yesterday from way back in the 30's regarding prohibition.

"We can't legislate people into heaven". lmao. So true.

Absolutely. The puritanical right and socialist left need to abandon their ridiculous crusade of telling other people how to live.

There's no authority in the Constitution for it. At the State level, yea. And that's where it should end.

There are some people who thinks for themselves and do not believe everything on the Internet.

People like you are the reason why history repeats itself. You refuse to learn.

If history has shown anything, it has shown that people should think for themselves and not blindly follow what someone else has proclaimed to be the truth.

I didn't ask you to follow one person, and no one should follow one person.

I gave you search parameters to do more research, to look at what others have to say. Maybe there are others who share your viewpoint, and have proof to back your assertions. But you wouldn't know that because you refuse to do your research. You just want to blindly follow your beliefs.

Let's see how you would feel if you found out your mother was doing it. Or perhaps an 18 y/o daughter.

Well, Jesus forgave Mary Magdalene.
If your daughter resorted to prostitution, it's all your fault!
