opinions!

I was just watching a show on prostitution. In Vegas.........with STD's out there they need to quit saying what happens in Vegas stays there. Know what I mean! Anyway, They had a number of young girls they busted.

So what do you really think of prostitution? should it be legal? If no, why should it be illegal?

I know this isn't going to sound politically correct, but I think it should be legalized. It's going to happen if it's legal or not. But I think if it was legal it would provide a measure of protection for the women that they do not currently have - and I think it would take control of a lot of it out of the hands of the pimps.

That would be my opinion to. I think sex workers should have to register, they should have to pay taxes, and be required to show a health certificate. I think they should be in "brothels" and not on the streets. Prostitution is the oldest profession and I dont think it is ever going to go away. Besides whats really the difference between prostitues and sluts? Sluts are just free.

Boy... I couldn't agree more. Why should I have to pay taxes for my job and they don't.
I do not agree with the choice they made for their life but whom am I to throw stones.

EWWWWW!! EWWWW! OK LOL I think prostitution is just plain nasty and I have no respect for anyone that does it. It is also simply degrading to women. That being said.... I think it should be legalized! Why should they get to keep all of their money and not have to pay any taxes! Fair is fair... If you get paid to have sex then you won't mind getting screwed by Uncle Sam either! lol

right on! i'm sure it would still be underground in cases of using teenagers. obviously.
yes it's degrading, and i feel for women who are addicts, abused, mentally ill and see no other life. maybe legalization would somehow help stop some of that.

I can't believe I am about to type this, because I find "loose" people in general disgusting, but the more I think about it...
Isn't all sex for sale? On TV, Magazines, marriages lol trade a little of this, for a little of that...

I say legalize it, and make ALL of those who chose to participate register. Not only for tax reasons, but medical records and such.

I think we should start a movement!!!! 4WT Members Come Out In Support Of Legalized Prostition!!!!!!!

I am peeing here Emm, while not in favor of prostitution I agree they should legalize it and these women should pay taxes along with everyone else. This way you won't see women of the night walking the streets and getting into dangerous situations..

I'm not sure how I feel about it Gina...what happens when they are out of work...will we have to support them on welfare tool?

[Tink]

Actually Janet, they shouldn't need to be on welfare... they generally get paid quite well!

I am with the rest who say it might as well be legalized. At least then they could be regulated and maybe it could be safer for all involved.

[DianaB]

I don't think that it should be legalized. If you think that it's bad now can you imagine what it would be like if it were legal?
