You really did it? A pro government stance? First Freeze, now you... Next thing will be me saying that capitalism isnt so bad after all...
And sex isnt something I would rally against, if thats what you mean.

I just proposed a pro govt stance. what is the world coming too? sure, there would always be a few that get around the issue, but the majority would be in the red light district, or a govt whore house. I would name it the Govt whorehouse of (whatevertown). said whorehouse or red light district would be beter for the girls than working dark streets in some warehouse district.
Strat, I see. think it might be that it is harder to cure. we always need a cause to rally against

There would still be some, in it for the thrill of the chase, that would prolly find a way around the system; and, there is that distasteful element requiring the creation of yet another governmental entity (no pun intended-lol). Never a perfect world, but a step in the right direction. imo

Bev, your right. not to mention all the efforts to reduce prostitution, to move it to a more paletable area, to control it. what about this. legalize it, licence it, test for aids (and other things) and make them pay taxes. if you eliminate the criminal aspect, you eliminate most of the problems, and create a revenue stream for the govt.

look at the fund raising to treat aids in africa. huge. you would think it was the number one killer there. nope. rising at a rate it will be. nope. Malaria kills more people in africa than Aids. Famine and war are also ahead. but, which gets more funding?
we need a feel good cause, and a fear cause. children are the feel good, there are a host of fear causes. global warming, cancer, aids....

I just saw yet another commercial on television for one of those "feed the poor children of Africa" organizations. You know the ones..some grim faced, nearly weeping woman or a guy with glasses and a scraggly, grey beard is in front of the camera going on about how these poor, helpless kids are suffering and don't know where their next meal is coming from and need YOUR help now. WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!
To begin with, why is it that children are so friggin special?? What is it with people that makes them consider children a more important form of human life than adults???? Why should I consider a child's life more valuable or more significant than, say, a twenty-six year old girl in Bolivia that has to prostitute herself to feed her seven illegitimate kids and four grandparents??? Where is the organization for them?? And what about the drug lord that has been devastated by the "War on Drugs" and had his cartel nearly dismantled and cannot pay for his wife's lipo and his hooker's apartment?? Why are they left out of all this??? WHERE IS THE EQUITY????
Every country has poverty. Worse yet, there are literally millions and millions of suffering children AND adults all over the world that have it rough. Who is the guy (or gal) that decides what form of suffering is more signifcant than the other?????????? |
