  • "maybe you're not suppose to understand it."

    That pretty much sums up the argument right there.

    Good ol George.

  • I myself am not against prostitution, but i am against people being sold by others looking for profit

  • It still happens anyway.

  • People who are arguing against this take there pointless life too seriously. Carlin just wants you to think for yourself and open your mind to things you've never thought about. He is funny and most of the time his logic is flawless, but on some jokes he is just plain trying to make you laugh, it's obvious he's not for rape. SO STOP ARGUING OVER HOW HE IS WRONG ON HIS BELIEFS!

  • Ha that comment was so awesome i want to copy and paste it on every George Carlin video!

  • its illegal because of all the so called religious losers.

  • i ask myself this every night before i go to bed

  • I'm happy it's illegal. It stops a lot of women from doing it. There's a lot of emotion involved in prostitution for the woman, but sometimes it's their last resort.

  • and sometimes they're just slutty like my ex-girlfriend. but she does it lots of guys for free because shes a dumb cunt that doesnt have the fucking sense to realize she could get payed for it. hell, i payed for it for 4 goddam years!

  • In new zealand where im from its legal, i guess the govt figured its going to happen anyway so they may aswell try to regulate it e.g. make sure nobody under 18 can work in a brothel and enforce condom use etc

  • Prostitution is illegal because the government can't tax you for it.

  • That's the most factual answer I've seen. I bet you're right.

  • Prostitution is illegal because the government can't tax you for it.

  • Man George Carlin was the best man to have ever lived.

  • its Illegal because pimps can make money with no taxes

  • only 'cause its illegal, if it was legal, they'd open whore houses where the prostitues get sweet deals and the pimps pay taxes.

  • This has to be, by far, the best argument for legalizing prostitution. (Not that I care about prostitution and its legalization one way or the other.)

    Love Carlin.

  • HA! prostitutes get into the business to make money. they are not victims at all. when someone else sells someone elses sex, that's bad.

  • Hmm. Isn't prostitution dangerous in many ways? Seems to me that prostitutes are quite vulnerable to disease, violence, and exploitation.  This is an interesting thread!

  • It's illegal because prostitutes become victims, doing something they wouldn't ordinarily do for money.

  • There are many jobs outside of the sex trade that no one would do if it weren't for the money. And is it so hard to imagine the self-made prostitute? The law should crack down on those who exploit the workers, not the workers themselves.

  • not everyone has to love their job. or maybe working at mcdonalds should be illegal too?

  • Working at McDonald's may not be glamorous, but it's at least somewhat honorable. You're not selling your most precious personal commodities.

  • nope, just your dignity. that's not precious though, right? it's perfectly okay to put on a pretty smile for hordes of dumb, fatass motherfuckers so they can take 10 minutes to order a bag of rotten, greesey cheesburgers. and then spend the next 5 minutes arguing with someone that actually graduated highschool about how they didnt get their change correct, and then they toss their litter on the floor for you to mop up after you finish scrubbing their shit off the toilet. then there's corporate..

  • LOL!! Rad.

  • Prostitution is illegal because the government can't tax you for it.

  • prostitution is illegal because bible freaks said so.

  • I agree with him that it should be legal if a woman wants to be a prostitute but the thing is that there are pimps that are using prostitutes mostly drug addicts to get money.

  • If abortion is legal on the basis of "who's the government to say what we can do with our bodies" then why is prostitution illegal? If they were to legalize prostitution everywhere and require a certificate of health to "pratice" prostituting then maybe the std rates might go down somewhat.

  • This man...

    is RIGHT!! He's absolutely right!

  • its legal here in Belgium

    and most European countries

  • why i cant post this shit where i want

    (under the replies)

  • If it was legal, I think the STD that Eddie Murphy spoke of in "Delerious" (putting your dick in a women and you exploding) would be created hahahaha.

  • YES! I'm glad me and this comedian can finally agree on something...great video.

  • So if prostitution was illegal you would cheat on your wife/husband and never get married? Then sorry to say, you're not a very good person.

  • i am not a good person at all and i dont care for your moral values and i can choose the wrong person to marry, a i can have a divorce and i can find another one that i will love more than my partner i can never love anyone or i can find the love of my life and well people ignorant and in a money problem can do anything, but only the poor rich dont have this problems and they dont want their workers to never have children but its just a idea and i was not thinking in you only in the poor ones
  • prostitution is perfectly legal in several countries around the world. in european countries they have official services and businesses dedicated to that shit...

    oh and btw, they have married people there too...

  • People don't marry only to fuck -.-'

    And my daughter can do what she wants with herself.

  • marry and dont fuck and dont have children one day you will talk my doughter is a prostitute i love her, and what she do do you want her phone number she love to be a prostitute it have fufure, she will invest her money in condom industry, and spend her retirement money i dont know i have strange ideas (sorry for that carlin) someone could make a joke with this you know but then will be prejudice with prostitutes sex dont have a price on it but you know nothing have a price watch caos(french)
  • WTF are you on about? Make sense?

    "if prostitution become legal

    then will be the end of marriage

    and your doughter will do that"

    Now explain what you mean here.

    If you cannot be loyal to your husband or wife, DON'T GET MARRIED. Is it that hard? You don't have to marry to show you love someone, geez...

  • i hope you can be

    i dont know if i will

    forever until death

    even in your thoughts

    so you will not cheat yourself

    being loyal to what you dont want to be loyal

    on that moment(its relative)

    about the quotation marks:

    in the future, with the prostituion being not ilegal, people needing money(you know, cash to eat, pay their homes, their clothes, the heat)will sell sex for anything(only the poor ones,the ones that think tha the state take care of then)

    but wait, poor dont marry, they live together

  • this shit already happens or i am wrong, i think on the poor ones that dont have ways to get money i am wrong anyway, i joke with the phrase that says that the marriage is legalized prostitution, but it works only for the poor and ignorant too, you r right but i got divorce haha jokes apart, if the state suports it it shows how useless the state is and some people dont want it but i am problably wrong but you know a lot of people sell their bodies for the industry and comerce who knows anyway
  • Jossilyn414 is posting that message on all of carlins videos.....go preach elsewhere

  • omg dont bring up the fucking bible

  • Take your dead jew on a stick syndrome elsewhere, it's not welcome here. Fuck your god.

  • So you are the youtube idiot. Must be cristian.

  • There is no god. Stop being an idiot.

  • josillvn414 - and what us the truth ? a book written by some men who wanted a way to contrl people without using force ? cause thats al the bible is and when its stoped working so well they went out and started to force people and kill them till they belived. christian , muslim, jew , their are few religions on the earth that are non-violent, and christianity isnt one of them , sorry its true.

  • get the fuck out here you mindless fuck..you have a fucking brain. use it for once.

  • "I'm not paying you for sex, you pay me for sex, no, okay, then let's just have sex, no, okay, next.

  • "the important thing about carlin is not the funny side"

    except, erm, he's a comedian?!

    and as for him telling "the truth", if you need this old coot to tell you what's what, then it ain't me who's the idiot.

  • George you my man

    but here why it should not be legal

    AIDS,GONORREA,HERPES,siphillis ,Clamidia,Crabs,Genital warts

    Lotto Flower Syndrome (your dick start to actually blossom openign from the peehole in 4 parts)

    HIV and all tha shit

    i mean nigga

    even with non prostitutes there is risks

    but with a hokker being fucked like 50 times a day by diferent men

    shit!

    80 of america would be dick less

  • STDs are actually lower in legally-sanctioned brothels than it is in illegally sanctioned ones. Also if it was legal there would be more incentive for bosses to do regular testing and use condoms.

    Also it would probably reduce the use of illegal sex-trafficking in this country if employees are registered.

  • Also, they'd pay taxes. Also, brothels wouldn't be full of drugs too.

  • You are an idiot.

  • You're a troll. Carlin is a legend, and a lot funnier and popular than you will ever be.

  • the important thing about carlin is not the funny side but all the truth in his words.

    besides you need to have some nuts to talks like that about all those assholes conservatives in front of a crowd and atill be aplaudded. Brilliant

  • exactly but some people are oblivious to that

  • true.... porn stars are getting rich by selling sex. but NO NO NO not everyday citzens. Thats taboo. Make up your mind, politicians.

  • People can be paid to have sex as long as its being recorded on video. Why should it be illegal to not have a camera in the room?

  • Why the hell is prostitution illegal?! Did you know that there are apes that sell sex for food?

    George Carlin is a genious.

  • And prostitution is the oldest profession on earth!

  • "you get a medal for spraying napalm on people"

    awesome.

  • "mest"? No, people who can't spell words that were taught to them in grade 3 are MESSED up.

  • No it's not.

  • selling is legal,fucking is legal but, selling and fucking is illegal..

  • it's "but selling fucking is illegal"...seems small but actually a big difference from what u said

  • It's a composition fallacy, but it really isn't that big a difference.

    Prostitution is NOT a big deal. It has a stigma, everything that's illegal has a stigma, often for pointless reasons. Gay marriage, polygamy, marijuana, all have stigmas for largely unfair reason.

  • What an amazing bastard. The most ingenious comedian of all time.

  • And you people know that prostitution is legal in most of European countries? And it's also the only one way to make money without paying taxes. Ok, maybe not the only one. You can also still the money and when tax people ask you how did you get money you just tell them you are a prostitute. :D

  • personally i think that if prostitution was legal it would be safer there r so many stds if it was legal it could be controlled easier to find someone. the prostitute could sue u if u dont pay. and it could reduce the spread of stds.also to the commit be4 mine i do not see y it should be exclusive to one gender. and to answer the authors question its illegal for the same reason why most drugs and bear r or were at one time illegal. the government doesnt think.

  • So..All you guys that think being a female hooker is cool and should be legalized then would have no problem with males prostituting themselves out ... right ?

  • ummm sure y not i mean it would be sexist if not.

  • Hello Captain Obvious!!!

  • I wouldnt have a problem with that.Some older lady who wants it from some young guy with a 6 pack.Why shouldnt she be able to take her bingo winnings to a male hooker???

  • XD.

  • why should'nt i eat a bitch out unless there's more than pussy in it for me? i'm not being sarcastic, i want to know the reason.

  • I got to say this, government can tax anything they want.....IF THEY HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER IT. Its because they don't have full control over prostitution they can't tax it. You would have to know where EVERY hooker in the country is to put a tax on prostitution.

  • you tax those who pass and get a license. think of it as driver's license.

    you can't tax those who work illegal...but any job can be done illegally, it's not limited to prostitution. you can be an illegal gardener for all i know...

  • Well prostitution helps the drugs go around not only that spreads diseases. I guess it's for the better.

  • if prostitution was legal the % of rapes would go down, the disease would stop spreading (because prostitutes have to check-in with the doctor every few days to get a license) and the drug market would go down because protitutes would have to be clean to get aproval.

    germany's doing it and people seem to be happy.

  • Raping someone is NOT about sexual gratification, it's about power and control... and many hokkers have been victims of rape and murder, so this would NOT solve that problem.

  • registered hookers are protected.

    everything is done by appointment (like a doctor, heh!) and you have to leave credit card details in davance. they are not allowed to accept cash.

    who in his right mind would rape a hooker after he just left his full name in her possession?

  • Im assuming you arent planning to lock said Hookers up and never letting them out? Do some research, hell the Green River killer preyed on Hookers... it wouldnt take a rocket scientist to think why a man would rape a hooker... maybe he wanted a freebie or discount outside of her (scheduled hours), maybe he didnt think he should have to pay. Just the point that legalizing prostitution would not end rapes.

  • not saying it would end them completely but it would deffinetly make them a lot more rare. if hookers would suddenly stop being outlaws, many rapists would become discouraged..

    Anyway, my main point is that if you can't beat them - at least join them and go make money of off it. prostitution will never end and it is much better to legalise and cointain it, rather then rage a fruitless war against it.

  • "Why is illegal to sell something it's perfectly legal to give away?" may be one of the most important questions society ever asks itself it we are to move forward as a people.

  • its illegal because his mom got into the business

  • Prostitution is illegal because...

    Probably the government can't tax it.

  • government can tax anything if they want. it's perfectly doable

  • Well I actually took a small peak about what the law says about this...prostitution falls into stuff that "bring harm to relationships regarding social interaction"...at least in my law

  • i don't see how it "brings harm to relationships regarding social interaction", men who go there are hardly in relationship. and if they are - how will it change if it becomes legal? it's just as harmful in it's current illegal form if not more.

    just becaue you don't know your husband likes hookers, doesn't mean it's less harmful then knowing. after all, you WILL know when he brings home disease...

  • I didn't say I agree with the law.

    But idk,I think that they're thinking about people's morals,the diseases people could get (yes,if you fuck too much with too many people,you'll get that),the places these things are done,something.

  • Napalm sticks to kids.

  • Alimony is legal in their minds, you pay for the whore to leave prostitution is illegal in their minds but you are also only paying for the whore to leave.

  • your almost funny

  • Prostitution was legal until black men started making money from it. Prostitution was legal into the 20th Century in major cities like New York and San Francisco. Whites didn't want the underclass coming up in the world. They just couldn't have a lot of rich black men at that time they would have gotten all uppity.

    So, whites pimps and prostitutes had to go underground due to the emergence of black pimps and prostitues. Equality, literally ahead of its time!

  • Equality does not mean forcing others down.

  • Selling is legal! Fucking is legal! Why isn't selling fucking legal? lmao

  • Prostitution is not legal because...

    Too many religious assholes have hijacked our democracy and implemented their bullshit rhetoric.

  • I think someone is underestimating some of the people in this country.

    Of course not EVERYONE would have a prostitute if it were legal, even if they were all clean of STD's. Some people have class and don't need to pay to get some.

  • So we wont populate the earth too much like rabbits. Laws in china limits to two children,in hungary the more children you have the more money you get,all this to ballance the population. If Prostitution would be legal every one would do it and that is what we do not want.

  • Everyone would do it? NO WTF? Unless its regulated, like having official prostitution center where the girls are perfectly clean of stds. Just get yourself a girlfriend and your set.

  • Thats one opinion :-)

  • Here in the Netherlands, prostitution is legal, yet 95% of the people never visit them.

  • That's why my dream is to live there someday :)

  • Boy I would. I'm a lonely lonely guy.

  • Listen, dude. the Red Light District is dangerous and paying for sex may seem cool but you'll feel like shit after you're done.

    I think prostitution should be legal, but I don't find it desirable.

  • If a woman enjoys fucking, if certain hygene standards are enforced for people who want to buy sex, then whatever. I'm certainly not against hookers as long as my condom doesn't tear. Then it's panic time.

  • Because it's banned in the bible, and this country is run by the rabid christian right.

  • lol NO? they are run by satanic dickheads

  • because the government cant tax it.

  • "because the government cant tax it."

    lmao, could you imagine a pussy tax?

    hell, everyone would definitely live in delaware if there is a pussy tax haha

  • They don't tax food either dipshit.

  • why so mad? lol its just a joke

  • I think if it were legalized and regulated there would actually be fewer women who are exploited by pimps in order to keep themselves from ending up in dumpsters.

  • OH i love dis man. R.I.P so sad that he has moved off this Earth plane. He is missed:(

  • Maybe I'm not supposed to understand it.

  • A screwed up country Elliot Spitzer got the headlines for using the services of a prostitute. Little if any mention of how GWB enabled the financial crisis. Fine to be a prostitute for the financial world, don't dare hire a prostitute for sexual pleasure. Moral ambiguity will always exist, I suppose.

  • I would say it is probably illegal because most prostitutes are held against their own will and forced into sex.

  • Good point.

  • Probably not (though that does happen sometimes). Most likely, it's the Christian morals that are the underlining of many modern countries =/.

    Also, because of our current world situation, STDs would go WILD 0_0. That would epically suck.

  • Yea, that's why most women get into prostitution. Next time you have a thought, let it go. Your Mexican food diet has retarded brain stimulation.

  • Are you a hooker? NO, so how would you know? Ever heard of human trafficing? I have another word for it, SLAVERY.

    PS: Im not Mexican but I love Mexican food.

  • I am a hooker. And being a Mexican hooker yourself, you should know that human trafficing is only limitied to asian massage parlors.

  • Sorry there are no magic ethnic barriers for forced sex. I'll give you a "HOOKER FAIL"

  • I'll counter that with "Human Fail". Peace.

  • Human Fail, pretty harsh. I was bound to meet someone like you. You see me and you have a rendezvous with destiny. But even I can't convince ignorant people. "Counter Fail"

  • The human traffic exists because it is very lucrative and it is very lucrative exactly because prostitution is illegal. Same as booze was when it was made illegal in this country last century.

  • I would like to see a hooker union. That would add to the sitcom we are watching. Better yet have them whore themselves out to democrats. Ohh wait im describing the teachers union as well as UAW.

  • I wouldn't say it's lucrative because it's illegal. In other countrys prostitution is legal and still is very lucrative.

  • What about brothels in Nevada?

    One (American) should travel to countries like Spain or Netherlands or Switzerland where prostitution is legal with no fat prostitutes...

  • I'm sure those countries have fat prostitutes, only because some people are into fatties :D

  • What about other reasons for prostitution being illegal besides Christianity ? People are sometimes forced into it. Organized crime often has a stake in it - even in situations where prostitution is legal. I also don't think that it's psychologically good for someone to have sex with huge numbers of strangers.

  • ...he makes a good point.

  • I dont understand why prostitution is illegal either. Although I am happy that its illegal. That way its more thrilling! Imagine going to a prostitute openly and no-one raising an eyebrow. Shit thats boring!!

  • That's the whole American atittude towards sexuality: setting-up an giant scene based on hypocrisis in order to artificially install the conditions for the trangression to occur. This leads inevitably to degenerate natural instincts and fill jails...

  • Ya, say that 3 times real fast....

  • cause the goverment has no way of stealin your money which if i think bout it there is taxes on everything

  • same whit marihuana

  • "Why is it illegal to sell something that is perfecting legal to give away"?

    Good point.

  • Reasons why it might be illegal:

    1. Government hasn't found out how to tax it.

    2. Religion (bastards)

    3. To reduce human traffic.

    If prostitution was legal, it has to be with certain limits, such as being VOLUNTARY, and baing at least 20 years old.

  • being*

  • Mainly #1 because the Christian priests would love to pay for a little boys asshole.

  • mind the spelling of that "videoreaction"

  • Ever thought of why atheists are only good at making for af christians and not the other way around? Because religion is the dumbest thing ever ! :D

  • If girls/women weren't so often forced into it and taken advantage of and abused, prostitution would be pure and wonderful, I'm sure.

  • To bad you can't tax a service... Only goods...

  • I think the most logical answer would be it threatens marriage. Being as hard and unstable as it is, if they allow it, then more and more men would go to prostitutes because they can't handle their wives.  This would decrease marriage rates and probably birth rates, lowering population. It's actually pretty good since the world is overpopulated and we're gonna screw it over eventually anyway. Then again, we Americans are stupid as hell, so we're probably gonna impregnate all the prostitutes.

  • Most brothels require the use of a condom as well as regular STD checks. Refer to Nevada where prostitution is legal in some cases.

  • Holy crap. Not bad.  Isn't prostitution illegal in Las Vegas?

  • Yeah except on the outskirts of it.

  • If it isn't I'd be amazed...=P

  • is it because it's nearly impossible to tax? i don't know, just a guess. ?

  • I feel sorry for all the dumb ass christians who are against this. I also disagree about the atheists. They aren't all gay-loving abortion mongers. Besides, why believe in Jesus if infact, that the "Virgin" Mary was raped by a soldier of the invading roman army, thus making Jesus Christ a bastard child.

  • What's wrong with loving gay people? Abortion is the only issue that can be seen as morally wrong and inhumane.

  • AWesome!

  • He has an AMAZING point. I don't get it either,,,LoL!

  • see, you exactly are the reason why I have a problem with the church. Sheer ignorance.
