If they want to do it anonymously, let them do it anonymously. Doctors could easily distribute prostitution licenses based on the person's status. (Which is preferably: clean of sexually-transmitted diseases, not being forced into it, etc.) That would provide enough anonymity and safety for the prostitute and client.
Everyone's greedy, and that is inevitably why everything is illegal (look at marijuana in the US), and when it isn't illegal it's regulated (cigarettes, prostitution in countries where it's legalized, marriage, etc).
I never said anything about my views being clean-cut. No one's views are clean-cut, that's why they're called views. It's an opinion, and opinion isn't always based upon fact. There are many examples of this, especially morality and religion.
"ps. let me try using your theory of rights, why can't i buy high end explosives? i mean its perfectly legal to sell a product or service, its perfectly legal to sell the ingredients to make bombs and explosives, so why is it illegal to sell bombs and explosives? sure someone could get killed but i mean then everything should be illegal because you could potentially die doing anything."
People who use this logic obviously don't have enough reasoning to support their argument, so they blow another's reasoning out of proportion so that it looks bad.
According to society's views, which is apparently what we have to play with, there's a blatant difference between blindly murdering one or many and selling sexual services to consenting, keyword: consenting, individuals who both know the risks of partaking in such an activity.
How is this different from people making the bombs? They could potentially hurt others, and not just themselves. At least with prostitution, all parties know what's going to happen, and agree to continue on with it even while acknowledging these possibilities.
People who are about to be murdered or killed don't get to sign a waiver. :y:
nononono you see if you read my previous post your argument is now irrelevent

You're comparing prostitution, a service where women CHOOSE
no, women don't choose prostitution, they are forced to it in circumstances, women CHOOSE pornography.

Your logic is flawed.
wasn't my logic, it was tornadocreator's, i was showing way of thinking doesn't work with everything, and the response you gave backs why i made that example, and the way he would follow up a reply is like this
"You know what, f*ck off you arrogant twat, I'm not even going to bother talking to you anymore because you're not prepared to discuss the issue and you clearly think you're talking to a retarded 2 year old. You've lost this debate and you know, I'm actually reporting you for spam and flaming at this point. You're intentionally replying with only 1-2 words knowing your reply doesn't makes sense and is extremely insulting and dismissive of others. You're purposely trying to bait other members including myself and you're clearly not following the spirit of the forum."
also my stance on the issue is that i don't have an issue with two consenting individuals who are going to exchange sex for money.
what i know is that making it legal only causes more people to profit off of women forced into their last resort of becoming a sex slave to make ends meet. and making it legal doesn't mean street prostitution will become legal, brothels would become legal, causing prostitutes to become registered, something prostitutes don't want to do because they want anonymity, which leads to the illegal sector increasing. and then the crimes committed against these women forced into street prostitution have no legal justice system behind them when they are raped and assaulted like all the stats i have quoted previously. also prostitution is a major contributor to the spread of aids and hiv's, a clean prostitute could have sex with someone whos infected, and then she has sex with more clients, and it spreads like wild fire.
and prostitution only degrades the character of women in society and makes them look more like objects than people, something i rather not have because i respect women and wouldn't pay a women to USE her.
im sorry but i rather not have it legalized as with countries that have done it before, it only causes illegal sectors to grow, brothels that create huge money for the owners off of the poor women forced into the work, the degrading of women in our society and makes them look like objects, and largely spreads fatal diseases which don't have cures.
