2) I think legalizing it across the country would have and ill effect however. Legalized easy to have sex means its much more tempting to indulge in for someone who has the potential to cheat on ones spouce. IE I think divorce rates may increase simply do to temptation.

you may be onto something jeff.
I've wondered if when taboo (OPtopic) and abhorrent behavior gets a lot of media air-time, if that brings those so-inclined out of the woodwork and into activity.

^^^ I really think so...

I will share an example to show how I think...

Let's say I have a 6 pack in the fridge. My own rules is one beer I don't drive till the next day. So if I finish the 6 pack its a majour deterent for me to get more when I start contemplating the 5 minutes walk to the gas station. Then again when I was in detroit they had beer delivery service. You call the number 20 minutes later a driver shows up with another 6 pack for you. IE here if I run out I usually just call it a night. In michigan it was easier to resupply so its always more tempting to indulge more.

I think that men that use prostitutes like the idea that it is taboo, against the law and risky... Legal or not, there will always be a black market to fulfill those looking for the thrill ride (so to speak).

My stance is to legalize it all and regulate it: drugs, prostitution, and gambling.

This would cut crime in half overnight and the taxes would pay off the national deficit.

People will always use drugs enjoy gambling and hire prostitutes. Might as well solve the whole issue and cut a bite of crime.

Prostitution is legal in many countries overseas and marriages actually last longer and divorce is less than in the USA.

Not saying that I would necessarily use a hooker but it should be legal.

Now that we're all grown up, who cares what other consenting adults do in their private lives?

Just don't hurt or lie to anyone who may be in your life. Be good to and honest with your loved ones and save your wrath for things that matter - poverty, hunger, crime, war, ants invading your kitchen, fruit flies around that old banana on the counter, having to re-do your laundry every week...that kind of stuff.

Not with the way Dubya & Cheney are spending on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but refusing to tax their oil buddies... $9 Trillion national deficit according to former Governor Jessie Ventura...Gotta love it when politicians play Monopoly with America's future

America will never legalize prostitution because of it's puritanical
cultural background. We say sex is OK then villify anyone who is open
and comfortable with it.

In the 70's the star of Deep Throat almost went to prison for a long time just for being in a porno flick.

If you think congress doesn't get things done now, then watch and see if you legalize prostitution...

At least they would be smiling alot on CSPAN!!!
