Gr3tta... you have made some really good points. In fact, everything you wrote is an eye opener. You mentioned things I never thought about and makes me think...Anyway, I am the one that compared porn to prostitution and pimps....I know very little about porn and prostitution.

Is always good, in my opinion, to get a variety of ideas, being for or against something. Then instead of having "tunnel" vision one can gather all the information and step back and see the whole picture.

One way of looking at it, if prostituion is legal, it might put a damper on the "underground" nasty stuff. And then again, if prostituion was legal, the authorities would have more time on their hands for breaking up the illegal use of minors and all the underground stuff that slips through the cracks????

These are just thoughts to throw out..So much to really think about....Think I will make a list.. The pros and cons of legalizing prostitution...

Again, my reasons for legalizing prostitution are that it would provide a safer environment for those who would choose this way to earn a living...One problem with this is would it confine prostution to just the "brothels"... Or would the bored housewife or anyone for that matter, take up prostitution on the side for extra income? hmmmmmmmm
