Legalizing the johns does not help the prostitutes, it helps only the johns and the pimps. It'll also expand the market, in turn making more people turn to prostitution, but obviously pretty much only poor or broken people. The stigma of being a "whore" would remain, or even be increased as destitute foreigners flock to take part in your new haven of sexual freedom and outsell the locals, while the word "whoremonger" silently disappears from popular spell checkers and its modern replacements carry little negative connotations and sometimes even positives ones with rides a-pimpin' etc.evilsoup wrote:well
the thing is, if the johns are afraid of being arrested, I would have thought that it would force the prostitutes into more dangerous situations -- they'd have to stay out of sight, albeit not as much as they would have to under the current system (so however you look at it, legalising prostitution would be better than nothing). I don't know. It might go some way towards shifting the power balance.
how about actual economic pressure to make 11-year-olds legaldesigner bodies of an 11-year-old with a moneyback guarantee that she's actually totally legal
Yes right how could I forget the easier it is to be racist against someone and otherise them the less bad it is to do it right :LOxymoron wrote:Look, okay stereotypes are bad

I sure hope nobody ever takes this thread out of context lolhow about actual economic pressure to make 11-year-olds legal
what could go wrong with a market
It wasn't racism against all Japanese, it was a joke about the otakus in particular who seem to have a fascination with lolicon, seeing how deeply ingrained it seems to be in manga / anime culture.Infinity Biscuit wrote:Yes right how could I forget the easier it is to be racist against someone and otherise them the less bad it is to do it right :LOxymoron wrote:Look, okay stereotypes are bad

Hulk Hogan released that in the 80's. There wouldn't have been drone strikes!
It would have been F18s or Tomahawk cruise missiles.
