i get that. and the reality is for me.... i really dont care if these women choose this. there life. do what they want. not a chance in hell i am going to glorify it, honor these people that chose this lifestyle (like another poster suggested). nor am i going to pretend there are not victims in this environment. but it is their choice.

but

everything has shown the legalization challenges the very thing you hold up that must be addressed. and that is what i really do not get. every country that has legalized it has said they have a greater problem. the demand becomes higher, there are not enough women willing to prostitute themselves out and it is filled with sex slaves.

when an environment is created that escalates a demand. the need will be filled. legalizing it increases demand. which increases sex slaves. lower the demand and there will not be the incentive to force women into it. go after the pimp, john and decriminalize the prostitute, and the demand is going to drop because more men will be concerned with breaking the law and getting face in the paper.

i really was not going to get into the argument of this issue, because i really do not care if it is legalized or not. i dont get how people can blissfully (not you) say legalize when they ignore the reality of legalization claiming it will cure all problems. the only point i was going to make thru links is countries that hve legalized are now looking for other solutions.
