Prostitution........The Next Libertarian Debate

Tea Is The New Kool-Aid
We all know it's coming. *no pun intended* Let's start the debate early.

Libertarians only focus on themselves, never others when making political decisions. And are while this is sometimes destructive, it is also sometimes progressive. I tend to use the "risk vs. reward" system that I made to see if a Libertarian idea is good or not. Such as seat belts, risk is your entire family has to deal with your death the rest of their lives, reward, you are free enough to not wear one. Easy one.

Let's talk PROSTITUTION! YEEEEHAAWWWW!

It is similar to the gay debate because it's another law made by Christians who are using law to enforce Christianity. My Bible teaches free will, not forced religion. My Bible also teaches "do not cast stones" and "do not judge or be judged".

The Constitution states "Freedom of Religion" which means we should not use FEDERAL Laws to stop prostitution or gay marriage. Yet I don't think there are Federal laws against prostitution since it's legal in Nevada.

So let's use "Risk vs. Reward".
A)Risk....I guess married men or women would have the option to pay for sex which would possibly jeopardize the Liberty of their entire family to be raised as a normal family.
B)Reward....TONS of taxation. Hookers are paid BIG. Of course this amount would go down with legalization. Also, there is indirect proof that people who go without sex for a long period of time make bad sexual decisions.

So what do you think people?
 
This isn't a bait thread people. I'm not going to corner you with facts to make you look bad. Feel free to express your opinion here. I don't think prostitution should be illegal at this point. But it doesn't mean my mind can't be changed on the topic.
 
I believe if the prostitute is an adult and the client is an adult, then it should be legal.

Prostitution has been an acceptable trade off and on throughout history.

If YOU aren't worried about it then get out of the thread moron. If you are, then add subject moron.

People just understand your history. In previous threads when others actually introduced facts you ignored the facts and proceeded to repeat what was clearly delineated by the actual facts to be your unsupported opinion as "facts" that supposedly supported an obvious straw man.

You were actually losing to your own straw man, yet felt self-congratulatory. It was like watching a train wreck. I'm sure it will happen here as well.

You measure risk and reward as the sole factors you would use to make a decision. What I would use is comparative pros and cons.

For instance: If we legalized prostitution, it is my prediction that the current violent pimp would go down the drain with the refuse we flush. I believe that because it is a "black market" type of situation that only the most unscrupulous take it on...

Another for instance: If it were legalized and intelligently regulated both the prostitutes and their Johns/Janes would be better protected from disease as well as violence.

Things like that would go into my consideration of change. That and I believe more freedom to make poor choices is always better than foolish laws that simply ensure that the great majority of participants in the "crime" would be victimized into it by the worst elements of our society.

Pretty much this.

But since I am feeling generous, as is my nature, I'll ignore his history (AGAIN).

How is prostitution different from porn? Both are essentially being paid for sex. I am for freedom in all forms, and that includes prostituion. I am, however, firmly AGAINST the idea of taxing prostitution beyond the standard tax rate.
 
Perhaps try to stop "profiling" me and start using your brain kids. Talk honest on the topic. I believe Prostitution should be legal and it's one of the FEW Libertarian idea's I believe in. Along with pot smoking which I, as a Christian, stopped a 1.5 year relationship over because I was judgemental ONLY BECAUSE OF POLITICS. HEMP was one of the first topics Corporate America used money to fight.

So does this mean you don't believe in a sin tax?

Your attitude is wearing quickly on my paitence. For someone who claims to be an 'adult' you've yet to make a single statement the shows this.

No, you mouth breather, I don't believe in a sin tax. That's the state trying to discourage behavior that is not illegal, which is not the business of the state.

So I am a mouth breather that you dislike, so I'm actually impressed that fish type. Can I call you Tuna? Or Gills..no wait, that sounds black. Maybe since you think you are the ONLY answer I will call you the Holly Mackerel..............the extra "L" in holy was intentional kid.
 
So do you want to keep trolling and losing? Or do you want to focus on the reason we are on the forums, POLITICS?
 
What do you have to say about Prostitution laws in America kid. Me, my party, my outlook, my opinion doesn't FUCKING MATTER!. Grow up and debate like a man.
