Hamster, I had not a clue what you were talking about until I read your link (and responded). Thank you for that. Makes much more sense now.

I don't personally support the legalization of prostitution, but that's based in my own moral code and my views on sex (which I've been told are a little on the "old fashioned" side, but they're mine, so... ) than any real legal background. That being said, I can't really argue them from a legal perspective. But morally, I don't like the notion of a woman selling herself (or a man, for that matter, but I suppose being an older brother and my weird paternal instincts drive the feminine image closer to home) simply to make a buck. It just feels...wrong, and degrading to her. In so many words, she deserves better (as perhaps do other professions, but that's another topic).

Really not much of a compelling argument, being based off my own objective morality, but that's me on the matter.
