You're not advocating for it but you are contributing to it by supporting legal prostitution. The fact is that if we tolerate prostitution we're tolerating all the sex slavery and pedophilia that comes along with it. I don't think selling sex or buying it is a horrible crime in itself, but it leads to horrific abuse that cannot be tolerated. If imposing draconian penalties on a relatively innocuous practice can save hundreds of thousands from unspeakable misery then so be it.

The only way to end human trafficking is to make buying sex too risky to even contemplate.


What garbage. And oh by the way, "sex trafficking" is a very broad term anyway.

So lets make everyone a felon. What a Trumpian thing to say. The neocon way. "Lock 'em up".

Utter stupidity.

You know we tried doing that with gays and guess what? Gays abound. We tried doing it with drugs and guess what? We are in the midst of an opium epidemic. It is a felony to cheat on your taxes, and.....

Knock off the arresting people bullshit. If you want to end prostitution then cure poverty, drug abuse, and simple human avarice and you have your solution. Do you honestly think that arresting Johns will end prostitution? :lol:

The so-called Scandinavian solution is preposterous.

But I guess you can blame the Johns. There seems not to be a soul alive who wants to expect the little women out there to have any responsibility for their own behavior. Or ownership of their bodies.....Or the brains to decide their own fate.

But I am an affluent, older, white male. I will take care of the girls. After all. It appears that women blame us for all of their problems and look to us for all of their solutions. No worries. We have been doing it since the beginning of time. We can continue until women as a group have matured to the point where they can take care of themselves.

How are you getting on with doing that so far?

Is this true of pornography, too?
Even the ethical porn the PoD mentioned in a different thread?

Snapdragon asked: How are you getting on with doing that so far?


Well. Historically we are doing pretty good. We get what we want from women and so-far they have not been much of a problem. They started to get uppity lately but we let them have Cosby and showed them their limits with Kavanaugh.

What porn consumers don’t know

The average porn consumer, likely exposed and hooked in before the age of 18, has no idea what exactly goes into the production of a single pornographic image or video. They might not even think about how or why a performer got to be on camera, or the situation that led them to their involvement with porn. If someone contributed even one, or a substantial amount, of the 28.5 billion views of the world’s most popular free porn site in 2017, they probably don’t understand the likelihood that they might be viewing a performer who didn’t appear on film under their own free will.

In other words, viewing a victim of human sex trafficking.

a lot of what we do know about the current state of the industry comes from survivors, and they have a lot to say about how porn was largely connected to or included in their trafficking or exploitation. Here are just a few broad stats:

– By some estimates, 4.5 million people are trapped or forced into sexual exploitation globally. (International Labor Organization)

– Sex trafficking is big business—it generates $99 billion annually, just from commercial sexual exploitation alone. (International Labor Organization)

– In one survey, 63% of underage sex trafficking victims said they had been advertised or sold online. (Thorn)

– According to anti-trafficking nonprofit, Rescue:Freedom, in 9 countries, 49% of sexually exploited women said that pornography was made of them while they were being sold for sex.

Porn needs to be licensed and strictly regulated with harsh penalties for making, selling, or possessing unlicensed porn.

Maybe you don't care about all the women and children trapped in sex slavery but for some of us it's a real concern.

:knife:

Sex trafficking is officially defined as a “modern-day form of slavery in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act is under the age of 18 years.” [1]

No, let's make everyone who irresponsibly contributes to the sexual enslavement of women and children a felon.

Utter stupidity.


It always is with you.

Prohibition can work if the penalties are severe enough.

If pandering is made a class A felony, yes.

The so-called Scandinavian solution is preposterous.


It's been extremely effective.

But I guess you can blame the Johns. There seems not to be a soul alive who wants to expect the little women out there to have any responsibility for their own behavior. Or ownership of their bodies.....Or the brains to decide their own fate.


The women who voluntarily choose to work as prostitutes are just as culpable as the men who pay for their services but if we prosecute the women along with the men we run the risk of prosecuting women who have been coerced into prostitution. The Blackstone principle is the rationale for only criminalizing pimping and pandering, it has nothing to do with any kind of sex chivalry.

Liberal logic: if one person in an identity group is a victim, then no one in that group should be held responsible for their actions.
Do not prosecute illegal aliens. Do not prosecute drug users. Do not prosecute prostitutes.
However, Republicans must be held accountable for their actions since the day they were born even without evidence of a prosecutable crime.

Generally, victims aren't criminals. Women being trafficked are victims, the person who has abducted them, possibly forcing an addiction upon them is. The hooker who is doing so of his/her own volition is only a criminal if it's listed as a crime in his/her jurisdiction, and that's arbitrary.

I understand that, but I don’t believe that is the case for anywhere near the majority of prostitutes, drug users, or illegal immigrants. Why not prosecute them and then find those innocent who were victims? How do you find the victims without arresting and questioning them. Not arresting them would seem to leave them victims. Arresting the ‘Johns’ of prostitutes tells you nothing about the prostitute.
#14953370
Well, in some areas of the US, prostitution isn't illegal, so there, the only people to a considered for arrest are the abductors.

Of the rest of the country, where prostitution is still a crime, you can investigate without arresting, or you can investigate, the arrest give them attorneys, flood your prisons, and burden the police and courts.

It is not complicated. You are using idealism to disguise unbelievable discrimination. For example, both the prostitute and the John violate the law against prostitution. To say only the John should be prosecuted violates equality under the law. You are saying only some groups must obey the law and others are exempt.
