That's if they legalized prostitution and left it at that.

Ideally, one would need a permit/license and a commercial location to operate a brothel. Sex workers would need to get a health test every week or so, and the results would have to be on hand at all times, or else the shop is closed until the problem is resolved. Sex workers could leave at will. There would be inspections, and the inspectors could immediately shut down any business that has violations.

Pimping, operating a brothel without a license, or just prostituting oneself without a license would be a crime still.

Boom. Prostitutes are free to safely operate as free agents, the state gets tax money, and crime goes down, partly because prostitution is no longer one, and partly because the police can focus on other problems.

I hate when people spew that bullshit from their speaking holes. (I have always wanted to say that).

I mentioned that as a possible "anti" argument. It doesn't reflect my own personal views.

It works quite well in Nevada. I'd be for the law.

There is no true freedom of religion when there are so many different ones in competition for the worlds population.
I have my own beliefs, I dont tell anyone about them unless they ask. I dont try to convert them to my way of thinking or morals and I DO NOT like it when they try to convert me to thier belief system.

oh please I want to join your one man cult

kthulhu's right about prostitution, it makes it a much safer environment.

The only downfall is the prostitutes get taxed for every customer.

Then again, many prostitutes currently provide their service, but then get stiffed when the john runs off immediately afterward - and doesn't pay.
