Prostitution Argument (continued from “Iceland to ban porn on the web because of children”)

[Brickjectivity]

I completely agree. Decriminalization of solicitation and a stronger pursuit of johns, establishments, distributors, associated gangs, increased penalities, and mainly, social programs to help people escape a life of prostitution seems to be a good way to go.

That's different, low cost, low risk. Could be a good plan. Penalties ought to be proportional to the severity of crimes committed, and bring back the YMCA.

Agreed.

Pro-voltuntary and regulated Prostitution.
Meaning? Keeping it legal with STI/STD screenings, organized methods of how it is sold to prevent trafficking. But other than that, I see not why people should be prevented from making their own choices. If you do not like prostitution, do not become or partake in the services of one. That gives you no right to tell someone else they cannot.

Sometimes it does, which is why when a bunch of people (society) concluded they didn't like those who chose to rob others, they decided to tell them that they would go to jail if they did.

So when the majority of a society decide they dislike something they have the right to prevent all in their society from doing said something?

Like when the South wanted to keep slavery...
The bans on same sex marriage?
Segregation?
bans on inter-racial relationships?
women owning property?

Perhaps you should mention the conditional modifiers?

 

[dust1n]

I still got a lot of unfinished responses. Am I to assume this topic is finished here?

Not saying society is always ethically or reasonably correct, just that it's how laws and such usually come into being in a democracy. Might often becomes a right.

That brings a new set of problems, should the govertnment have the right to make prostitutes take STD tests?

It has e rights to make it mandatory f those who choose to follow the profession.

But what it seems like is that's mainly to protect the Johns from the women not the women from the Johns, considering that people should have safe sex to begin with. What about people who have lots of casual sex, they can be a bigger threat when it comes to the spreading of STDs than prostitutes who unless forced by the John not to wear protection, most likely would want the trick to wear protection.
In porn they have STD tests because most of the time they don't use condoms which is why it's a diseased ridden industry.

So you're in favour of protecting tricks male or females?

 

[Me Myself]

Sorry i dont understand the jargon, tricks?

I am in favor of legalising prostitution and to regulate it accordingly.

A trick in this context is someone who pays a prostitute for sex, ever heard the term "turning tricks?"

Npe, sorry . What does turning tricks mean?

In any case, I am simply in favor of prositution bbeing legal and buying such service to also be legal.

 

[dust1n]

Personally, still waiting for redress to my points...

Turning tricks is the act of prostitution and a trick is someone who buys sex from a prostitute.
when you regulate something you have to make sure that you are not violating someone's personal freedoms as well. Why should prostitutes be forced to take STD tests to protect tricks? Who is going to pay for these tests? If you are going to a prostitute you should know to protect yourself from STDs same way you're meant to with sex for free.

I wonder how anti-discrimination laws would be applied to the prostitution business..?
What about handicap accessibility?
the current trend of no smoking in work place..?

When you say anti discrimination laws are talking about anti discrimination laws to protect the tricks? And in what setting, a brothel? Or just a single prostitute in her home?

yes
yes

Is a prostitute able to turn down a john?
And if so based on what, exactly?
I mean can the prostitute declare that she will not service certain genders? certain ethnic groups? certain beliefers?
How exactly would the handicap accessibility laws apply?
