OK, whatever floats your boat man. I support equal rights even for those who hurt that cause. And now here you go defended prostitution again and again, because now that you're a log cabineer, you're all about libertarianism...and if it weren't for your whole "schtick" you wouldn't even be in this position of defending prostitution over and over.
So let me just ask you this? Do you not see a difference between personal sexual decisions and walking down a public road soliciting sex to everyone unfortunate enough to drive down? I don't want to see that. We have this idiotic "But what does it do for the children?" debate over and over, and obviously things you oppose like gay children's books aren't going to corrupt the youth, but I do think that it should be safe to go outside without there being hos and pimps everywhere you go. I think that's a basic decency we can afford families and it has nothing to do with personal responsibility.
Even if it were an issue of personal choice for you, in allowing others to do it or yourself to john around or whatever it is that you do, it is NOT a personal choice for the unfortunate young women who get stuck turning tricks. These women have their human rights abused over and over and they would all love to get out of it if they could. Their pimps would kill them if they left. So you don't think that this is an evil system that needs to be stopped?
And you should stop trying to avoid the personal question with your own self. Stop trying to rectify your conservative views and your sexuality. I would suggest coming to terms with the sexuality and dropping some of your conservative dogma that makes people think you haven't seen much of the world. But even if you don't, at least accept it as a contradiction, and that's okay. Nobody will think less of you. You don't have to put yourself on the same level as sex slaves in order to feel justified in calling it a "personal responsibility" issue. You just end up looking more backwards than Borat.
Prostitution is NOT a "personal responsibility" issue. It is a human rights issue. Look at those schmucks at the Valley Brook PD (already mentioned that there's obviously some weird connection)... that's the kind of ridiculous crap that shouldn't be tolerated in any kind of free society.
