>How do you propose to make prostitution vanish? My guess is that the only effective way is something open-source, i.e. nobody would pay for what they can have for free. That would require a total rebuild of the current morale, of course - lifting many of the bans that have accumulated during the last 2000+ years. You had a nice try in that area here, during the late sixties, but it petered out with the onslaught of the rightwing revenge.
Ok if you say so. I'm too young to remember the sixties.

>So you have a respectable percentage of people who can't have sex freely (in both meanings - as in "without social constraints" and "no payment required"), so they're resorting to find on the market what they lack in their social life. What's your plan for them?
Therapy? Real help? Or are you suggesting providing them with endless access to prostitutes...
Do you also suggest we provide drug addicts with gov't funded drugs?
If so...
How about providing child molesters with .... why not, they can't help themselves.
How about providing mass murders with endless supply of victims... why not they can't help themselves.
Where does it all end?

>>So lets use the money that can help the innocent victims (and there are plenty of them) to help someone who volunteerly and willingly participated in ricky activity.

>Being a medical technician is a risky activity. Just one wrong cut, and through your rubber glove there comes the HIV virus. And you know it in advance, and you willingly participate in it. Even get paid for that... just like a prostitute does.
So you think I would include these people as people that participated in risky activities? Are you serious?
Work as if you don't need money
Love as if you've never been hurt before
Live as if this is your last day to live
Dance as if no one's watching
