What's wrong with prostitution?

[cartzo]

i see nothing wrong with it providing it's done legally i.e. without pimps and with legal brothels and proper regulations on protection and STD's. it is kind of stupid for the oldest career in existence to be illegal.

they are offering a service it just happens to involve sex

and people can do whatever they want. It is their life.

I think the general consensus is, that prostitution often goes hand-in-hand with crime. Nothing inherently wrong with prostitution itself, but it's a slippery slope to crime, and attracts criminals.

Following that train of thought...
A bit like drugs. As long as an addict has a steady supply of drugs, he's okay. If a guy is living in a mansion, on top of a mountain, and has an unlimited amount of LSD that he only uses himself, he's not a problem.
But when he runs out of LSD, he's going to need more, and he ain't got the time to start filling job applications.

EDIT: OT: Your Taking Full Diploma for IB? Or is ToK in other systems I'm unsure about...?

Yeah, I'm in my 3rd year of IB.

3rd Year? I only did two... And finished and got my Diploma.

Well, 1st year of actual IB. In my school, you take two years of Pre - IB courses, then IB courses. So I'm in my first year of real IB. Sorry for the confusion.

Illegal prostitution is fucking ridiculous. Sex is the only thing I can think where it's ok to give away for free, but illegal to charge for.
