- DeadBabyFloat, on 05/23/2009, -4/+104Still cant find a good reason for this to be illegal.
- Natoration, on 05/24/2009, -3/+72A few month's ago, she made 1000 bucks a day, tax free?! I'm finding it hard to feel sorry for her
- jdduran, on 05/24/2009, -2/+67can't somebody PLEASE think of the prostitutes :(
- feezus, on 05/24/2009, -10/+66Because of the Bible.
- castor49, on 05/24/2009, -1/+50No you won't
- ZhiZaki, on 05/24/2009, -1/+41Don't piss on my fantasy parade dammit!
- Tyrghast, on 05/24/2009, -1/+39Pun intended?
- Jforsyth89, on 05/24/2009, -0/+37RIP George Carlin
- fuzybuny, on 05/24/2009, -1/+37it's legal if you video tape it and call it porn
- Llanowar, on 05/24/2009, -0/+31Well, porn is legal, so in that way selling ***** is legal too.
But, if porn is legal, why the hell aren't prostitutes?
Note that prostitution is legal in a lot of countries. - toastjam, on 05/24/2009, -7/+35Selling is legal. Kids are legal. Why isn't selling kids legal?
(I agree that you shouldn't legislate morality, I just think this particular argument is flawed. Humorous, but flawed) - Misinformant, on 05/24/2009, -0/+28All the time...for half a day until you're broke.
- misterrock, on 05/24/2009, -0/+27$300,000 tax free is a lot of ***** money.
- ZhiZaki, on 05/24/2009, -1/+26Man, if prostitution was legal, I'd be having threesomes and foursomes all the damn time........
- muleskinner, on 05/24/2009, -1/+25"Prostitution is illegal for the physical reason that it potentially spreads disease, and is a public health risk. (Using a condom is not a guarantee against disease.)"
So according to that logic, it should also be illegal to be a common high school slut.
"Prostitution is also illegal because it's exploitive and potentially damaging to the lives of the women involved, though this argument is treading into the realm of morality."
For someone to force a woman into prostitution is damaging, immoral, and illegal. For a woman to make that choice on her own is none of those things.
This idea that the government knows what is in the best interests of the entire population is ludicrous, it completely clashes with the ideals this country was founded upon. - atm259, on 05/24/2009, -0/+23DON'T QUESTION!
- fatfreddyscat, on 05/24/2009, -1/+23When I was in the army in Germany oh damn,,, I'll stop here.
And the weekend trips to Amsterdam. Wow. - JasonCox, on 05/24/2009, -4/+26I love the Bible. It's ok to commit genocide (as long as you have a reason like "they're on the land God promised to me") and sleep with your daughters, but not ok to pay for sex.
- mozert, on 05/24/2009, -0/+22but... ya know, ... you have to call it a 'girlfriend', otherwise it is illegal
- dty2010, on 05/24/2009, -0/+21Diet Coke is disgusting. Diet Coke should be illegal.
- infinitus64, on 05/24/2009, -1/+22yeah you would never see our democratically elected officials going to said prostitutes.
/sarcasm - scoot87, on 05/24/2009, -1/+20Jesus did befriend and save the prostitute though when the Pharisees wanted to stone her to death
- breadfred, on 05/24/2009, -1/+19So is Maccy D. That is not a reason to make something illegal. It also provides men with a service that they require, it provides an income to women who deliver this service. The problem is that, because it is illegal, the only people giving this service are desperate - the crack whores.
Also, because it is illegal, it is obviously not regulated. No mandatory health checks, no mandatory condom use, no security staff.
By making this 'disgusting' activity legal, the state would also be able to tax the prostitutes. - CyclonusRIP, on 05/24/2009, -0/+16IMO she needs to cut her prices, or run specials. Everyone else is having to do things to save their business, why should she expect to be any different. Since they're all living together maybe they should do a buy 1 get 1 free deal. Or they could start a loyalty card thing to encourage repeat customers. Or maybe she just needs to think about cutting expenses and snort a little less coke.
- KatherineVolk, on 05/24/2009, -0/+16The oldest profession is legal in many civilized countries. Germany?
- Spanq, on 05/24/2009, -2/+17Philip DeFranco made an excellent point about this on YouTube. It's perfectly legal to get paid to ***** if you're taping it and selling it as pornography. So, instead of calling it prostitution, just call it porn.
- Spacenoodle, on 05/24/2009, -0/+15Did anyone else only click to get a better look at the thumbnail or in the hope that there were more pictures?
- SoCalDissident, on 05/24/2009, -0/+14That's what I'd do if I had a million bucks; two chicks at the same time. And I think I could hook that up if I had a million bucks, cause prostitutes dig dudes with money.
- Danktolker, on 05/24/2009, -2/+16It's called adoption.
- Elranzer, on 05/24/2009, -1/+15"Whereas she was making more than $1,000 a day just a few months ago, she says, she's lucky to pull in $600 in a week now. "
Still makes more than me working a legit job... - Briandrews15, on 05/24/2009, -2/+15Actually we don't. We live in a Constitution-based Federal Republic with strong democratic traditions. Pure democracy is, and you prove this point, tyranny of the majority.
Source: I am was one of the few paying attention in US History class. - fabriciom, on 05/24/2009, -0/+12And because you don't like it automatically means others don't? Who do you think you are to impose you taste on others? Not everyone in life is attractive and/or charming to be able to meet women and need to pay for it. How about people who dont want to deal with a relationship and just have "needs" every once in a while.
- dshPls, on 05/24/2009, -0/+11Or film it.
- Silentnite85, on 05/24/2009, -1/+11It's still cheaper then dating....
- infinitus64, on 05/24/2009, -0/+10i would have pillow fights with them.
- Briandrews15, on 05/24/2009, -1/+11Is it any of your business?
- riverstyx, on 05/24/2009, -0/+9Thats more than what phd's bring in, depending on where you live and what you practice. I would personally have a very hard time thinking of how to spend a grand every day. The only thing I can think of (Besides a really fancy car..) is a house, and she doesn't own a home - She rents with 2 other prostitutes and can't even pay her own posting fees.
My guess is she blew a good portion of it on drugs. That's very sad too. - riverstyx, on 05/24/2009, -3/+11Lets see:
"...who has been advertising on Craigslist for just over a year.."
"...Whereas she was making more than $1,000 a day..."
Just by these two quotes, she should have made over $350,000 in a single year, tax free. I don't want to hear her sob stories at all. Even 600 dollars a week times 52 puts her at 31k a year. Still a living wage. She won't even pay the full 15 dollars to post an ad. Think about that one for a second.
She obviously is very greedy, despite possessing no earned marketable skills. If I had 350k made in one year, I'd put a good 90% of it away.
I think she needs to visit a health clinic, a psychiatrist, and a college. End of story. - JEH225, on 05/24/2009, -0/+7you could probably hook that up for 2 grand, less if they were skanky
- Silentnite85, on 05/24/2009, -0/+7Or maybe he wants you to piss on his fantasy. Some people are into that. 4g1zhizaki...
- Silentnite85, on 05/24/2009, -1/+8Briandrews15 is Technically correct, the very best kind of correct.
- ZhiZaki, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6"You don't need a million dollars for that."
"For the kinda chicks I want to double up on dude like me, I would...." - inactive, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6Just doing research for your comment right?
- marmotjmarmot, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6I'm constantly amazed that there are only a few counties in the US that get it right. Probably the first thing bought after the invention of the concept of money was the company of someone for sex. Some things just aren't going to stop; drugs, drinking, smoking, hooking. Governments can make all the rules they want, but you can't legislate morality, no matter how hard you try.
Best quote I ever heard about prostitution:
"You aren't paying for the sex, you're paying for her to leave after the sex"
Al Goldstein. - eemfitz, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6FTA: "B points out that she has a college degree and can probably find work".
Already been to college apparently. - pitchblackjava, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6Yeah, don't you just hate rich people?
- Nickolassc, on 05/24/2009, -1/+7In my town they all went to backpage.com I'm just letting you all know to check there.
- immatellyouwhat, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6Prostitution- because who can fit a watermelon in your mouth?
- ZenMojo, on 05/24/2009, -0/+6Out of curiousity, I just went to the adult services section. It's a fascinating slice of humanity.
