Dr. Ed Shadid wants a conversation about legalized prostitution in Oklahoma City.

All of this supports my belief that legalization as a "solution" is a myth.

I guess that depends on what you personally want the solution to be.

-Amsterdam has closed over 40% of its previously legal brothels because of the infiltration of pimps, human traffickers, and violence.

-A 2012 study from the London School of Economics and Political Science found that countries with legalized prostitution had a higher rate of human trafficking than countries where prostitution is largely prohibited.

-Vegas itself is still overrun with illegal prostitution.

-All of this supports my belief that legalization as a solution is a myth.

Well of course "designated areas" of legal prostitution, will see significant increase in these illegal/violent activities. I would assume, that they would quickly be overrun with Pimps, Playas, Scally Hoos, or Rooty Boos. No different than a hole in the bottom of a boat..the water is going to find the path of least resistance...and every bit of water than can possible go to that one area of the boat...will get there in a hurry.

Hypothetically Speaking.....If I'm in Dallas...and I'm a Pimp...and I find out OKC is going to legalize prostitution, you better GD believe that I'm loading up all the womenz in the back seat of my Caddy, and headed that way pronto! I'd have shop set up within 24 hours. But, if you globally legalize prostitution....I'm probably staying put in Dallas...and going back to selling weed, and working at Burger King to pay my beeper bill.

In other words......"The game still remains.......but the game just ain't the same!"

All jokes aside, I do realize that this is a real issue, and it's somewhat distasteful to make lite of the situation. So, I will let the grow ups continue to discuss this one if need be.

I'm still all for prostitution being legalized in some way. Homely guys ought to have the right to counter their lack of sex appeal with money. And women who choose to, fully deserve just compensation for having anything to do with a guy they wouldn't, otherwise, touch with a 10 ft. pole.
