- Azlen, on 10/12/2007, -7/+221I don't understand why more pro-choice people aren't also pro-prostitution. If a woman has a right to do what she wants with her own body, then renting it out for sex should be part of that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+212I don't pay my hand a damn thing
- WikiEasy, on 10/12/2007, -10/+212When you pay a prostitute, you're not paying for sex. You're paying her to leave.

Some of us just pay. - dukeeeey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+184If you pay a woman for sex and someone is video taping it (and it's going for a porn film) that is legal. But when no video camera is there, it is illegal ?
- Travisty2012, on 10/12/2007, -2/+140Sex is the only thing that's legal to give away but illegal to sell. Makes a whole lot of sense!!
- killerofkiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+131my 11th grade english teacher told me to just bring a video camera, that way you are paying for the tape and not the service, sorta like how the porn industry does it
- airencracken, on 10/12/2007, -14/+130Because our country is run by religious fundamentalist hypocrites.
- KielKilla, on 10/12/2007, -4/+114It's only legal if the rest of us can watch.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+115we are all whores, in our own little ways.
I've cleaned toilets for a paycheck. - saikhan, on 10/12/2007, -11/+108I wonder if we could all just stop the shameless plug-ins of Ron Paul?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -31/+115"Please. Abortion doesn't spread disease."
And prostitution isn't the act of killing a living being. - Jedimonkey27, on 10/12/2007, -8/+87@quomen
I believe it is to use a greasemonkey script for comment nesting. The number is what gets the script to work on that comment by referencing previous comments. - Wargalas, on 10/12/2007, -9/+84I'm pro choice and pro prostitution. Go Hookers!
- quomen, on 10/12/2007, -30/+103wait can someone tell me why people say
@name (#WTFDOESTHISMEAN?) ??
Is it the new cool thing or is there a purpose for it? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+75If it's two consenting adults who gives a flying *****?
- Jedimonkey27, on 10/12/2007, -3/+64Since you guys don't believe me... http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7934?
- noamchomskeet, on 10/12/2007, -13/+73If the government cannot make money off your occupation, or if it is difficult to control via paper trail then they will make it illegal.
It is true for marijuana and prostitution. Both are cash businesses and both are easily concealable if they ever become legal, therefore the government will never make them legal since they cannot make them 100% taxable.
To understand why lawmakers and politicians make the decisions they do, you only need to understand business and finance. In the end, it is all about the mighty dollar. - AbortedFetus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+60@noamchomskeet
How is prostitution different than any other service, such as a massage? And how is marijuana different from cigarettes? Or Alcohol? The government could easily tax prostitution, just as they tax any other service industry. Same with marijuana or any other drug. - sbgunn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50Like a grade school teacher asking if you brought enough candy to share.
- frostmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -8/+56no no no dont tell him its legal in canada. We dont need any more horny americans up here. They already know we have the best weed, great beer and beautiful women.
- XISUPERMANIX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45Just throw in a camera and suddenly its legal porn.
- spookyttws, on 10/12/2007, -4/+48True, but then every time I want sex, I've got to charge the camera, rewind the tape, clean the clown suit.....
- Liam76, on 10/12/2007, -10/+49Who gets kidnapped in the US to be a sex slave?
If you mean kidnapped outside the US and forced to work here, wuldn't making prostitution legal stop that? First of all there would be more people who would do the work in th eUS since it wouldn't be against the law, and secondly nobody would be afraid to come forward if they were forced into it. - xobecide, on 10/12/2007, -4/+40That brings up an important subject... what happens if our prostitution gets outsourced? Think of the decreased value of home-bred whores.
- KnightMareInc, on 10/12/2007, -12/+47who are these pro-choice people that you're talking about?Its was the christians that got whoring illegal in the states in the first place.
- ryan2632, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38"selling is legal, ***** is legal. why isn't selling ***** legal?" -george carlin
- judolphin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+39Prostitution is like ice cream. Enjoyable, but bad for your health, and leaves you empty soon after you're done.
It's funny we don't see anyone rushing to criminalize ice cream. - TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -8/+361. Not if it's regulated.
2. Not if it's regulated.
3. Not if it's regulated.
I think the only reason it's illegal is because the government doesn't want to have a "Federal Bureau of Prostitution". - Dustin00, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34Yep. Wives don't like competition... so I got rid of mine.
- 13thfloor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Hookers are cheaper. And a sure thing.
- laserjobs, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31It is legal in Brothels in Nevada. It is highly regulated and seems to work.
- Chandon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29I would like to point out that kidnapping is illegal independent of the legality of prostitution, and that keeping prostitution illegal just makes kidnapping people and forcing them to be prostitutes more profitable and harder to detect.
- evil-doer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32true, its legal in most countries. just go to canada. completely legal.
- twertyto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Only on Digg can AbortedFetus respond to a comment by noamchomskeet regarding taxing prostitution.
I love Digg. - spookyttws, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28Pretty cool script, too bad it adds extra crap numbers to everyone who doesn't have said script.
- Mackofalltrades, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27People still havent learned the basic fact of life yet. If it's fun its either immoral, illegal or fattening. In this case its immoral and illegal.
- NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Making it illegal.... is just another ***** attempt to police morals... -_- if someone uses a 'sex worker''s services, then that's their business and their choice... and if they are married or seeing someone, if they are responsible, they shouldn't be doing that.
As with almost everything we make illegal because of moral reasons... legalizing and regulating is always safer and healthier and better for everyone... than making it illegal with no restrictions other than the fact that it's illegal... -_- - asdfer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26For Men (it's a bit exaggerated)
Flowers: $20
Dinner: $40
Movies: $30
Drinks: $50
Sex, is it worth paying all of the above?
Basically, by convention (guys paying for the cost of the date expenses), guys are paying to get laid.
That's one more reason to enroll in "Leykis 101" - Snarfy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+231. If you f*ck a prostitute without a condom, you deserve every STD you catch. Darwin anyone?
2. So does not ever having sex.
3. So are seat belt laws, HOV violations, smoking violations, etc. Prostitution would be as impossible to regulate as copyright law in the age of the Internet, but we still have fines of up to $100,000 per copyright violation, don't we?
I'm not for prostitution. I'm against government regulation. - kenposan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Penn and Teller said it best: Why is illegal to pay for something that you can do for free legally?
- Travisty2012, on 10/12/2007, -8/+28Because this isn't the land of the free...
- Stochio, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26No one said anything about child prostitutes or involuntary servitude. Those would always be illegal. Your statement is akin to saying:
1) Making shoes should be illegal because children could be forced into doing it.
2) Making shoes should be illegal because adults could be enslaved and forced to do it.
If you do not agree with these statements, then your statement does not hold water. However, you are welcome to make another argument why prostitution has a victim. - Calann, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25Please back up your statement. I just returned from Amsterdam. Prostitution is very clean there, I saw no evidence of psychological problems and it is highly regulated. If you have evidence to the contrary, please show it to me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25There was actually a case right here in the Twin Cities of two girls being kidnapped and forced into prostitution... An entire family was in on it, really sick stuff. Don't kid yourself into thinking this kind of stuff doesn't go on here.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Especially when it's illegal....
- hipnotic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19ummm...illegal in the U.S. the title should state. Here in Germany, it's not just legal, it is a fully legitimate job with taxation, pension, unemployment insurance, the works.
- selrahc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19"It's funny we don't see anyone rushing to criminalize ice cream."
Sadly, it would not surprise me at all if that was attempted. - IceSabre, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18@thenik
"I think the only reason it's illegal is because the government doesn't want to have a "Federal Bureau of Prostitution"."
..... I think it's called Department of State. -
