there are alot of people who wish to see the end of this business but this is making all of us very rich. tell me what you think:fluffle:

It should be repealed. Prostitution is wrong, and it is degrading to the female sex. Find another way to get money.

"The Shazbotdom Government already holds control over 98% of the prostitution market, which is why it's the smallest business in the nation. Manditory vaccinations and checks for drugs as well as STD's make our market extremely safe, but we are cutting down on the amount of the market as the demand is declining."

prostitution should be legal, it would hurt economy if we got rid of it.

This is wrong in every way. That's not what humans are for, it's also not that hard to get a job. Perhaps dedicate funding to this?

It should be repealed. Prostitution is wrong, and it is degrading to the female sex. Find another way to get money.

Ok, you say it's degrading to the female sex. Well there ae multiple things wrong with that. Males, though rare, can be prostitutes. Another thing is that the prostitues in the female sex choose it. I think that no culture, race, nation or anything should be judged by there worst. Prostitution should not be illegal. Thank you.

Prostitution should be legal.

Why should the government have the right to tell women OR men (they can do it too) what they can or can't do with their bodies. Prostitution is, in its simplest definition, a buisness exchange: one party offers its services, the other pays. What's so wrong with that?

The only reason that there's such a social stigma to the concept is because of the government restrictions that surround it. Prostitution isn't detrimental to societies, if anything it HELPS. For example, often police turn to prostitutes for leads on cases. Perhaps if there didn't exist the legal restrictions, they'd be less afraid of the police and more willing to approach them rather than wait? Not to mention the economical benifits....

The Holy Empire of Kolnes will not support the banning of this honourable profession! Prostitution is rooted deep in Kolnesian culture, and is the very fundament of our society! We will fight this proposition to the bitter end!

Is somebody actually trying to draft a proposal for the UN here, although getting that passed would (I seem to recall) require repealing an earlier resolution first, or is this just a general discussion (in which case it's in the wrong place)?

The UN has no business telling it's members whether or not prostitution should be legal in their nation.

Bob Flibble
UN Representative

We agree that the UN doesn't have a right to regulate member states' stance on prostitution. We'd recommend that nations follow the approach Altanar took to the so-called oldest profession, among with other so-called vices as drug use, which is to make it legal, and regulate it to ensure health and safety concerns are met and that everyone involved is treated fairly and humanely. Regulating such "vices" has also been wonderfully effective for us in taking away a major source of revenue and profitability for criminal elements.

[The NSUN Nuncia of the Eternal Kawaii stalks up to the podium, looking about the room with a rather shocked expression.]

"Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me! Legalize...I mean, we are talking about SEX for MONEY, people!!! EEEEEWWWW!!!!!...."

[One of the Nuncia's secretaries hurredly rushes up to the podium and pulls the Nuncia aside. A few moments of hushed but animated discussion follow. The Nuncia then steps back to podium, her expression a bit more calm.]

"Ahem. In the Name of the Eternal Kawaii, may the Cute One be praised. The, ummm...business...under discussion here is an offense to human dignity and an abomination in the eyes of the Cute One. We reject any attempt to encourage its spread, and indeed, welcome any motions by this assembly to restrict it."

"We could not agree more with the Altanari delegation."

"Prostitution as it stands, dose demine the sex worker. this is evident in the activities of prostitution rings involving crime bosses and pimps. in these situations pimps can and do FORCE individual sex workers and often innocent individuals to sell themselves and require royalties from the worker's own profit. (often substantial, with little left to the actual worker) their means of control are abhorred and violent, often deadly. this all under the guise of protection from other 'worse thugs and pimps'


Prostitution in the criminal sense is generaly not the sex workers choice and at times they may even be sex slaves. *shudders at the thought*

If a nation is to leagalise prostitution it must not allow itself fall down this slippery slope of violence, degredation, criminality, and human rights violations.

If a nation is to legalize prostitution and actively allow sex work practices within their national borders they must adhere to strict programs and regulations.

they must first and fore most eliminate the violent forceful nature of the pimps and crime lords that will take full advantage of the new legality. Pimps must be completely removed and eliminated. the state must then support the physical protection of the sex worker from the dangers of psycotic killers, thugs, and the like. Just as a policeman would protect any other citizen of the state.

with the elimination of the violent forced nature of the pimps and bosses, the prostitutes would finaly have true control over their own business, and have complete access to their own profits. only then allowing them true choice to the matter.

At the same time the government allowing the sex work industry to continue legaly must adhere to strict disease control, they must maintain regular checks to all registered sex workers, and possibly to all participants in the industry. however when a sex worker fails said test they must be removed from the industry and the state must provide wellfare to allow a viable financial continuance.

if these rights are established to sex workers then and only then can a country say they truely take responsibility for the industry.

despite the moral concerns i have with the bill, it is not ethical to reject the moral standards another nation may have that would allow the legality of prostitution."

To make it legal doesn't mean one can just go out and do it. It is legal in many nations to drive a car or own a gun. Yet there are limits and restrictions on the process to get the car and gun. Also laws in place if one abuses these... Thus if a government wants to allow it all this does is say they can at a level they see fit, those that don't want it restrict it and set limits on it as it will happen. Marriage is legal prostitution if you consider one pays the other in the long run for sex so do you ban it?

To ban it and try to stop it will cost more than doing it in open and setting controls on it. As it should be made to support itself thus when medical cost cut into profits to much things will change and it will slow down even come to a hault. As this keeps no nation from setting laws to control it but is they 'don't see it' then everyone ends up paying to stop what aint suppose to be and adds the cost of medical problems from what they 'don't see' going on...

there are alot of people who wish to see the end of this business but this is making all of us very rich. tell me what you think:fluffle:

I think you are demented for relishing the fact that you are making loads of money off of hard-working people who are actually doing the work. The vast majority of the profits should go to the workers and to pay their work-related expenses.

That's good to know for one thing.

Prostitution should be Illegal!

Women or Young Girls who sell themselves for sex is wrong the Government should give them benefits and there should be a Clinic set up for them to go and try and sort there lives out the government could give them benefits until the day they get a job but if they continue to Sell themselves then the Police should arrest them and the Government should then stop the Benefits and if they get arrested should be put in to the clinic to talk about their problems and then try and sort them out with a Job, School or College then the Government could review their progress and then if they are not Seling themselves they could restart Benefits.

prostitution-->bad
sex should be free.
Emperor Ceasar has many women offering sex for free, some only if married but Shogunkhan not think that is proper price if he can get some for free! Hooah.

Suddenly, a strong woman warrior grabs the microphone from her co-delegate, "what about love?"... the ensuing battle for the microphone continues as the delegates move off to another room (a bedroom).... Ahhh the Shogunkhan's cultural form of foreplay. Hooah.
