should it be legalized in all of the United States?

Question

just a survey, let me know what your personal opinions are.. should PROSTITUTION be legalized in the united states?

me personally, i think it should, just curious as to others thoughts!!

Answer 1

We are not in a position to rid the world or even our world of prostitution, so It should be legalized because it can not be regulated for the reasons of common health and sense without government controls in place. It can be reasonably taxed and medically controlled to stop the spread of VD in all its forms.
The United States Military controlled prostitution in Okinawa when I served their in 1963-4 with mandatory clinics and regular check-ups for the woman, so it can be done. And it makes so much sense to do so.
The puritanical notions of not allowing prostitution is useless in a practical sense and naive in a realistic sense or lack of.

Answer 2

Well I think that woman should have the right to do what they please and make money anyway they can but when prostitution was legal about 20 years ago almost all the the prostitutes were murdered by serial killers (Mostly in Washington, Oregon, California,Arizona and Utah.). But if they are willing to risk there lives for a little bit of cash then that is there chose. If we didn't have all these psychic guys out there then I don't think it would be such a problem but then other problems come up such as HIV and AIDS that are usually followed by prostitution. So Prostitution is kinda a 50/50 thing many bad things come along with it but it part of are constitutional right as Americans.

Answer 3

First off, alcohol may be legal, but it causes many many problems because it is legal and condoned and even encouraged.

The facts are that during prohibition. even tho it was "enforced" by brewers themselves, cut the accidents, cut the broken homes, cut the abuse of families, reduced crimes, and improved the production in factories, producing more goods to raise the level of living of those who were no longer wasting money on depressing their brains, and damaging their bodies, livers, and minds especially!

Prostitution causes damage to the relational abilities. especially of women to have a good relationship with a man. It is as insidious as the brain damage that happens with beverage alcohol.

If you want an example of legalized alcohol, look at President Bush!!

The more we legalize destructive things, and supposedly "regulate" and "tax" them, the more we damage our country and its citizens, in varied ways, but all negative.

So I say a resounding NO to the idea, and I think if you check Nevada, really, you will find a lot of physically and psychologically damaged humans coming from the encounters, and unable to be as good and effective as without legalized vice.

Legalized gambling the same, a lot subsidizes crime directly, and the state lotteries make a few rich and most then ruin their lives before the money runs out even, and a lot of people who really need their money for their families spend it on lottery tickets. So their money is gone, a little to a maybe good cause, but most to crime and corruption.

A very wise man said long ago, "America is great because America is good, and when she ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." Do we have to look very far to see American is hardly good anymore, and then also look at how much our past greatness has dissipated.

Rather than adding another destructive vice, we need to start cleaning up the other messes! Or America will soon be just the history of another nation that failed from internal moral rot!

Check your History, you do read it, right? See how Rome declined and fell as they added vice after vice.

Learn from History, don't repeat the errors of the past documented in it!

Answer 4

no.
I was, thankfully, taken away from my mother but not before I had to witness actions far to mature for any innocent child. She was a prostitute and the lifestyle, legal or not, is dangerous, degrading, emotionally harmful, physically harmful, very very very sad to witness and beyond that which a just society should allow. Only through arrests and subsequent counseling, mandated because of her illegal activities, was my mother finally able to quit and get straight....now she is married and working an honorable job for her wages and only now can I even think of trying to have a relationship with her. I pray for all the women who think they are worth so little as to be paid for their soul....for surely when you sell your body some of your soul goes in the bargain, whether you realize it or not.

p.s. reading someone elses comments that it reduces rapes...bull$#^%...I was molested 2 times by the very same "johns" that were able to pay for services....porn and prostitution actually create a society where more sexually perverse crimes are found...once society deems something appropriate the thrill seekers have to up the ante...what is legal isn't as much fun...a lot of these people want the "thrill" of it being illigal...its part of the sexual fantasy...being naughty and bad....

Answer 5

confident yet at a definite age. evaluation your data previously you assume that's not a risky substance. Lung maximum cancers, passing out (loss of oxygen to ideas which will reason long term injury) popping ideas cells, weakened immune device, etc is a severe source of harm than can happen. merely reason you are able to hold a activity and pay your costs doesnt make this drug much less risky. Pot could be deadly merely as the different drug.

Answer 6

I think it should I'll explain why if prostitution becomes legal it will slow down if not stop or disappear. I'll further explain why I think this we as humans always want what we can't have so if they legalize it I think most guys would be like 'why go get a prostitute when I can have sex with my wife & I'll be safe of desease'.

Answer 7

Er, no.

This is a rich country, certainly capable of meeting higher aspirations than prostitution (extremely hard on the body, ego, and self-esteem) for its youth.

You don't want a situation like that in Hamburg, where red-light district pimps set up booths at middle schools to recruit young girls into the 'profession' since it's perfectly legal.

Or do you?

Answer 8

I think so. It should be regulated and taxed. It is a legitimate business.

Also, it is a misconception that prostitutes spread the majority of STDs. Good prostitutes have been using condoms regularly for the longest time. They actually have a very low STD rate. It is the crack wh*res who spread disease.

Answer 9

No, because lawyers would be skinny and worn out, blind and
lose money on the deal.
We would not have any lawyers left to handle court cases because they could make tons of $$$$being pimps.
Lawyers and organized crime would become one humongous
organization. Note. Larger than oil, the auto industry, steel, worm farms, manure spreading, food industry, housing, banking, clothing, dog food, commercial fishing, casinos, railroads and our military budget all combined.

Answer 10

~Absolutely. It always infuriates me that the prostitutes get arrested but their johns don't. There wouldn't be a need for prostitutes if there weren't folks who use them. Since they are in demand, make it legal and tax it as any other business. Then, a lot of the ho's that are doing it for nothing can actually get off welfare and get paid for doing it.
