Default Re: Prostitution

Alrighty.

Time for another insight into the mind of Kall.

If a crime is 'victimless', what right does anyone have to call it a crime?

As I see it, the maximum role of civil government is the protection of life, liberty, and property...it has no right to tell me what I can put into myself, or conversely (and more appropriate to this conversation) what I can put into other people on a consentual basis.

With specific regard to prostitution, prior to the bill being passed in NZ, it was only the woman who was breaking a law...the man was not charged with visiting the prostitute...how is that fair?

With legalisation/decriminalistion, the sex workers are able to more openly receive ACC (Accident Compensation) and other medical care. Before, their actions were 'illegal' and possibly a block to them being fully open with their health provider.

Yep, I am a firm believer in decriminalisation of prostitution, among other things.

Just because it is legal doesn't mean it is compulsory, nor does it mean that brothels will be have to be built right next door to preschools or anything.
