    Weekday about morality and the whole right vs wrong thing?

    Because it isn't just a slippery slope you're suggesting, it is a well documented fact that such thinking leads to some of the greatest barbarism the world has ever seen.

Treat you less than human. To me the whole thing is just sad. It is sad that a person would be ok with degrading another for their own satisfaction. And, it is sad that a person would allow themselves to be degraded out of desperation. This may not be the case in every instance, but it is in many. Most people only choose that line of work when faced with desperation same with pornography in many cases. To me it is just sad.

    But whether it should be legalized or not. I don't have an opinion. I don't think a person should be arrested for sleeping with a prostitute either as it is consensual. But those are my thoughts though.
    Their body, they're choice.

    It is a damn foolish choice (you've got to be a complete idiot), but it is theirs to make.

    Did you miss the part where I stated it was about money and power? Only the rich and famous can afford escorts, hence the reason it is legal, whereas prostitution isn't. There is no difference between the two acts, both take money in exchange for sex.

    In fact an "uptown lady" can have her household expenses paid by a rich man to be available to him for sex and that's somehow legal. The rules only apply to the peasants you know.

    That was my point, how anyone was able to misunderstand that is beyond me.

    An uptight world and victimless crime.

    One can make a solid argument that a prostitute is actually a victim here.

    Without victimless crimes, how would cops, lawyers, judges, and prosecutors make their illegitimately gained lavish profits? It all comes down to money. Profiting off the blood and treasure of others has become the American way.

    Couldn't a prostitute be considered a victim?

    Prostitution shouldn't be illegal.
    If a woman wants to put out after being given a valuable piece of jewelry, vacation, or meal, all good. Why not money?
    Two consenting adults.
    The real reason it's illegal is probably because it's nearly impossible to tax.

    It is easy to tax in a brothel situation. The spread of sexually transmitted diseases is a bigger issue. Isn't public safety a legit concern?
