I do understand your point, but I disagree with it.

The amount of government that we dedicate to Prostitution is huge. Far more than a few clerks and a hand full of inspectors. This is a huge reduction in Government money, and also government cotrol of our day to day lives.

Also it allows women freedom to choose this profession. Why should the government decide what you cna sell.

It would also save girls from slavery. Legal hookers will reduce the underage one.

Less money and more freedom.

Can you give one benefit of keeping it illegal? Aside from guys dont get married if they can hire hookers??

I don't really have to give a benefit for keeping it illegal.   It is illegal and I'm not lobbying for change.   But, if you insist........

We, as a people, frown on a lot of things involving sex.   Women who **** a lot of men are sluts.  Women who sell the poon are whores.  Sticking your dinky in another women while married is adultery.  Dudes who can't get laid are nerds.   Dudes who take it in the *** are fags.  Poking a 17 year old in NY makes you a pervert.    The list of taboo sex acts go on and on.   It's a subject that invokes a lot of controversy.  Changing a law that makes prostitution legal doesn't change our views.     Should we, as a people, have all these hang-ups?  Not for me to say.  But I do know that we have a lot bigger fish to fry.  This particular subject would push all of them to the back burner and put the focus on something that really isn't that important.  That's why I ask "What good does it do?"

To further explain my point, I'll use Anthony Weiner as an example.  What did he do?   Really, what did he do?  A little on-line flirting, sent a couple of pics.   No physical contact, no full frontal nudity.   Dude was blasted by both parties.   Why?   Because the entire thing was sexual in nature.

Bristol Palin is another example.  She wasn't running for ****.  She was a drunk 17 year old having sex in Alaska.  She's a celebrity now because of it.

...and Mike stops making even a token effort to offer up a good-faith argument. I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did, really.
I think a free-thinker such as yourself would understand the silliness of this argument:

 

"Why change a law?"
"Why not?"

And "Why not?' has pretty much been your side of the argument.   Should I just say "Because" and wait for another brilliant reply from the "Legalize prosttitution" group?

No, Mike, "Why not?" has not at all been my side of the argument. You gave it the old college try there for a while though.

A denial doesn't make it true.  Your "points" can be summed up with "Why not?"

She isnt famous because she got pregnant, she is famous because her mother was a Mayor. Governor and VP nominee.

You know Bristol, you don't know her siblings.  What do they not have in common?  None of them were unmarried, pregger 17 year olds. 

Point proven.

Damn, you're dumb.   I'll try to explain.

My statement:  We, as a people, frown on a lot of things involving sex.   Women who **** a lot of men are sluts.  Women who sell the poon are whores.  Sticking your dinky in another women while married is adultery.  Dudes who can't get laid are nerds.   Dudes who take it in the *** are fags.  Poking a 17 year old in NY makes you a pervert.    The list of taboo sex acts go on and on.   It's a subject that invokes a lot of controversy.  Changing a law that makes prostitution legal doesn't change our views.     Should we, as a people, have all these hang-ups?  Not for me to say.  But I do know that we have a lot bigger fish to fry.  This particular subject would push all of them to the back burner and put the focus on something that really isn't that important.  That's why I ask "What good does it do?" 

I then went on to point out a couple of what should be pretty meaningless "scandals"(married man flirting on line, pregnant girl in Alaska) that grabbed headlines.  What do they have in common?  Sex.  I then pointed out that Bristol Palin became famous, and not her siblings, simply because she was a knocked up teenager.   Why?  Because of the sex she had.  

Politicians, from both sides, demanded Weiner's resignation.   The liberal party couldn't stop talking about Bristol's teen pregnancy.  Legalized prostitution talk would move to the forefront and everything would be ignored.    We don't need that right now.

She is the Palin child that something happened to. She could have got a DUI or was dating someone famous.

Her fame is based on her mother. The fact that she happens to be the most famous child isnt really a  good example.

Not bad for an out of control fat guy!
