Why don't the people who hate liberty just move to China? Save us the headache.

A psychopath will kill somebody any way they can, and rape is not about the sexual act itself, as I've assumed you're against from what I've interpreted your comment to be about.

Regulated prostitution is far more safe because they have authorities observing over the laws ensuring higher safety for the clients and service providers. It is because it is illegal that more violence is associated with the occupation.

@ShaneyElderberry well i guess i just think that way because of my religious backround.

i see it as an abominable practice, one that should be removed.

but thats just my belief, nothing i can really do about it.

Sexual diseases are primarily brought about because people either lie about their health, or ignore the severity of getting checked. Smart prostitutes around Reno where it is legalized go through all the testing on a regular basis, as well as wear protection and have safe sex under laws making it legal is brothels (which is quite respectable).

People are horribly killed in many situations, and plenty of kids are abducted as well - yet we don't prevent life from continuing.

@ShaneyElderberry a woman was horribly raped due to the adult services on craigslist, and hundreds more set up dates to do the exact same thing.

prostitution is an evil practice, not just because we think it is morally wrong, but because it leads to much more horrible occurrences.

prostitutes are murdered, contract diseases, and often have uncontrolled births to children they cannot support.

there is logical reasoning to why it should be banned.

Genocide would qualify as the most evil thing humans are capable of; but I think you misunderstood that I was replying to prostitution not being the "optimy of evil" (what ever that means XD: I believe you mean epitome). If someone selling sex for a quick buck is "worse" to you, then you probably have a very skewed idea of what is "ethical." Technically according to most creationist denominations - masturbation is a sin ~ but I don't see that dying off any time soon.

@halfingr

I don't care what people do in their free time sexually. Who says girlfriend sex would be any good anyways? XD

[halfingr]

@ShaneyElderberry Just because you can't get a girlfriend you want prostitution, right?
