Legalize Prostitution & Drugs


Prostitution has been in existence for millennia, going back to the Byzantine, Roman, Greek, and Egyptian Empires. Ironically, the ancient religions of those eras dealt with the needs of the group and consequently developed protocols for dealing with sexual relations that have propagated throughout time to the modern era. As a result, prostitution is not about to disappear anytime soon, despite relatively recent local laws.

There are three strata of prostitutes. Within the top layer rests discrete call-girls for the affluent, much like the services Heidi Fleiss offered (Copeland, 1997). The middle layer holds bordello-dwelling prostitutes or others in less subtle environments such as strip clubs and massage parlors that offer backroom services. Streetwalkers (harlots, hookers, nightwalkers, ...) occupy the lowest layer. Some people entertain a controversial notion that the role of wife is akin to being a prostitute (Mechelen, 1992); their placement within the strata may depend on what socio-economic class they reside once married.

The lowest layer prostitutes are plagued with the most problems. It is the group that usually remains perpetually vulnerable. They work in conditions that make them prone to violence due to a lack of supervision. And, there are healthcare risks due to unsafe sexual contact with unscreened clients.

These lower strata prostitutes are the women who require help. The others benefit from physically safe environments, decent to lucrative wages, and operate among clients that are more likely to be healthy. Lower strata prostitutes cannot afford decent medical services and are frequently physically assaulted by pimps or clients. These women are either lured into the industry by drugs or they turn to drugs as a means to cope with their hellish lives (David, n.d.). Most lower strata prostitutes exist within economically static careers. They contribute large portions of their revenue to pimps or drugs, making their condition inescapable.

Bottom strata prostitutes remain trapped, but the upper two-thirds are far less constrained. For the upper two strata of prostitutes, free will is present. They are able to carefully parlay their gains into real estate or financial investments even within localities having laws against prostitution. They can choose to leave prostitution for other careers or simply retire. Since it is impossible to stop prostitutes, the upper two-thirds will continue to make a fiscally respectful living from it and the lowest third will suffer.

'If modern society rests itself on principles claiming to assist those who cannot help themselves and create structures where opportunities, not dead ends, are the norm, then these lower strata prostitutes do not deserve the abandonment from which they are suffering. Instead, politicians and community activists have become influenced by religious dogma and modern day Elmer Gantry's.
The entities that long ago managed prostitution, like Swaggart, Bakker and even leaders of The Catholic Church, hypocritically exile prostitutes to lives they may identify as depraved; yet, they use their services, engage in adulterous relations and cover up widespread pedophilia.
Prostitutes continue to suffer due to these long-standing traditions maintained in part by such religionists. No longer do these traditions serve humanity.'

FacedPalmedPlanet: I just was jaw dropped watching it, & was gonna comment it, but it would have been wasted on his vid, it lost a half a min at the end, check out the source link, its full of real info, not opinionate shyte from cowards with other issues. thanks tatts \m/

jakluk4: FAVD! most excellent response ;)

FacedPalmedPlanet: ;) ty jakuk4, I wish the last half a minute wasnt cut, the link is a great resource in descrip, I hope he accepts it..

oojamaflipper: really great video. we have to be realistic about these things and those talking about trying to abolish prostitution altogether are fighting a ridiculous war that cannot be won. 5*faved

TheAtheistKnight: Very good points man. I've been preaching this before but people herre would sooner vote in a totaltarian treaty then actually think for themselves.

campasini: did you watch the ron paul interview about this?

MrUnscientific: Precisely. It's here, has always been here, and will continue to exist, so let's improve the working conditions for the women partaking in this particular career choice. A Victorian outlook on this subject in the 21st century is very unhelpful, so it comes down to why haven't protective laws been implemented much sooner. The wannabe electronic intellectual who started this thing off strikes me as having very personal feelings on the subject.

InTheEndIWasRight: Thanks for everything man, and I agree, awesome video, completely agree : D 5*****

BigJoeyfromBoston: great video!

TheVikingNinja: yeah, child pornography should be legal to. Having it illegal creates a black market for it. You can combat it, by making it legal.

CommanderUTube: Society has to draw the line somewhere. I would draw the line against child prostitution. Although there are child bride practices in countries like rural India, there is no justification for putting a yet to be fully grown child for sex and exploitation for money

HyperBorealOperator: and how in the world would you combat it by making it legal.. its not like drugs, which is a 'victimless crime' its a violent crime against another human, in this case a child who is relatively defenseless.. would you advocate handing the child thus used a gun and letting them shoot the adult who used them as that's the only effective way of 'non legal system' combat that I can think of.

HyperBorealOperator: legalizing things like drugs or prostitution is fine by me but what would make even more sense in getting rid of violent interpersonal crimes is legalizing and gauranteeing my right to defend myself from all aggressive atttack with deadly force; if a crack head or whoever tries to rob me and I blow his heart out of his chest cavity, Id say he got what he had comming to him, end of story. If *the state* needs to do something it can clean up the mess, lol.

TheVikingNinja: you can regulate it if its legal and make sure the children aren't being abused. Its gonna happen, so you might as well make it legal.

HyperBorealOperator: I dont think regulating child prostitution is the objective, maybe with adult prostitution that is viable, but not with kids. The objective there should be stopping it altogether. Im all for unconventional methods in stopping it but I also assure you none of my ideas to that end are 'nice' and they certainly arent 'peaceful' , but they would work very well Im also certain ; P

TheVikingNinja: you can't do anything about it unless you support the state. to say child pornography should be illegal and irradicated is supporting the existance of the state. You support a violent mafia. The free market should be able to exist. If you regulate against child porn, were does it end? You can't have a truely free market unless people can sell child porn.

HyperBorealOperator: lol, I'll support my own 'mafia' if there is no state! I dont hold the free market absolute, though generally it is best to keep markets free within reason. what Im saying, and you are NOT disputing, is that in the event there were no state involved I would still see that things like child prostitution were absent from my sphere of influence, as they are destructive enough to warrant erradication by private means as well. Getting rid of *state* is fine, abolishing all boundaries at all is not.

HyperBorealOperator: In other words, the mistake the statists make is that they take the state as absolute. The mistake you are making is that you are taking the absense of any physical regulation at all as absolute. You're both wrong. The only thing that even approaches absolute in this case are the laws of nature and neither the statists nor anti statists seem to be so concerned with them as both are taking their ideology as more important than natural requirements for health and propagation of any thing at all.

TheVikingNinja: I just don't think having a state is necessarily bad. I was just using the extreme application of libertarian argument to show how absurd it is. I think legalization of prostitution and crack would have consquences. Would you like to live near a crack whore house? If one was opening on your street wouldn't it bother you? Having a system were if enough people are violently opposed to something it is regulated by the gun seams like it would result in a violent monopoly anyway.

HyperBorealOperator: lmao I figured as much but had a desne moment I guess^^ I should have remembered you made a video I commented on where you reduced to absurdity the extreme anti statist arguments.

FacedPalmedPlanet: hi campasi, sorry late reply, i didn;t until you asked, and only found the same few vids on Yt, If you have any title or links, I'd like to see more..

FacedPalmedPlanet: Preachin will get you killed on YT man!! they will think you're a religious!! :P haha,

variablast: Poor Hemsley. He's not really on the right side of things at the end of the day, it seems.

FacedPalmedPlanet: ...hehe, ya, it was part of a flood of replies to his vid on prostitution/slavery etc.. I had read that doc on Liberator(.)Net while researching 'why drugs are illegal', (not just the modern day reasons), & how it came from the pulpit, those who made the good/evil vs legal/illegal. Seemed fillting at time :),

xXAnnHelenXx: i kinda have nothing against prostitution o,O i just think its bad that its abused so much. i think both men and females should feel free to do what they want with their bodies, i dont think its right to tell someone they're not allowed to sell their own body... but the whole std, pimps and human trafficking is all kinds of wrong. if they found a way to do this in a safe environment like a bordello(?) with private doctors and checkups and stable prices, maybe it would be a good future for em?
