She only admitted to have been previously arrested. He's the one that blabbed.

Its a good point. If giving a woman food for sex constitutes prostitution, where does that leave the traditional dinner-date?

Aliantha · 06-26-2009, 03:23 AM

or wife?

ZenGum · 06-26-2009, 07:42 AM

...but in your house, who is giving whom food?

Crimson Ghost · 06-26-2009, 02:25 PM

Depends on who is bound and gagged at the time....

Aliantha · 06-26-2009, 10:26 PM

Well we all give each other food atm. It's a substitute for sex.

But do you give GOOD "food"?

TheMercenary · 06-30-2009, 11:04 AM

What if you eat it off her body?

I'll bet the crisps were just past their Best Before date.
When I worked for a marketing company that had Mars as a client, the staff were regularly given whole boxes of chocolate bars, Easter eggs etc. The chap who gave me a lift home didn't like choc, so he gave it all to me. I in turn was no great fan, so used to give it to my landlord's four daughters.

Now I wonder if I was corrupting more than their teeth.
Are they on a street corner these days hawking their bodies for out of date merchandise because I started them on the slippery slope....?

Yup. They'll be anyone's Almond Joy if you give them enough Paydays.

Surely the prostitute is no more guilty than the other fucker?

First of all, I think prostitution is one of the STUPIDEST laws out there. Seriously. And second, I agree about the john. WTF didn't they arrest him as well? He admitted why he was there. Sooooo?

They will never stamp out prostitution, or drugs, and I think they should stop trying. Just legalize, control and tax it already!

BrianR · 07-05-2009, 01:19 PM

I agree with sugarpop for once. Alert the media!

It must needs be easier to control prostitution than to eradicate it, which will never happen. OK, I would outlaw streetwalking. It causes too much ugliness. Instead, legalise brothels. Zone them; the better to keep an eye on them. Regulate them to minimise disease and set standards of cleanliness, order etc. Tax them to generate income for the oversight, police, inspectors etc. Maybe even unionise them to keep the owners in line. I believe there is a sex workers union already, yep. that's covered.

I don't see too many problems. THe pimps will be out or legal, the girls (and boys) will be standardised and protected, their wages will be legal and [hopefully] better. Urban blight is reduced, streets are cleaner and safer, cops are put to better use, drugs are reduced (at least by some) and neighbors are happier that the streetwalkers are gone.

Where's the downside?

sugarpop · 07-07-2009, 06:10 PM

Hear, hear! The exact same argument can be made for drugs and street violence and gangs/gansters/etc. And safe dosage/ingredients.

BrianR · 07-13-2009, 06:32 AM

Don't get TOO rammy, there.

spudcon · 07-13-2009, 08:34 AM

It was regulated in the Philippines when I was there. VD and corruption was rampant, as was violent crime. Stopping crime by making it legal only works superficially. Legalizing morally harmful behavior only encourages more depravity.
