h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Reasons to legalise

- Regulation - esp. occupational health issues, and through licencing, it can be controlled geographically
- Reduce Associated Crime - drugs, etc, as you have a defined population that needs help
- Taxation - income tax, VAT, duty.
- Better distribution of public resources - the police don't waste time and money trying to uphold the a law that has no teeth.

Resons for maintaining status quo

- gives the police something to do. Ahem.
- if you don't admit a "problem" exists, it'll go away. Ahem.
- all them religious types think it is disgusting and evil.
- health and education are adequatly funded anyway, we don't need the extra tax. Ahem.

I guess I'm "for." Excuse me one moment - I yell out of my window and ask the girls across the street what they think.

Is dressing a woman up like an organ grinder's monkey, putting her on rollerskates and making her serve hambugers less demeaning to the status of women than prostitution is alleged to be? I would say not. Is being the "administrative assistant" to a half-wit megalomaniac not a kind of prostitution? Working for a living is prostitution, whenever and however you voluntarily debase yourself. The legal conflict is politicised sex. Who wields the power? Under what circumstances? After all, what other stake does the State have in this issue?

To paraphrase the prophet... Let my people come!

LiveLuv&Bhappy. Oh I have said this before. But it still applies.
There is another game in town, If you don't mind me mentioning it:-

Jeez,
This is so basic, when you lose interest in sex, you have lost interest in LIFE! So they take up gardening, redecorating the damned house yet again, cheap holidays,politics or religion. Chewing gum, pony tails, tatooing, and drinking zoob straight out of the bottles.
Disgusting, try sex instead!
Edelweiss.

Ahem... taking up gardening should not be misconstrued.

JTG

Whereas sex is something which should not be mis-con-screwed.

Ouch!

was the ouch a genuine one or did you enjoy the pain ?
It appears fairly obvious that the guide community is in favour of legalising prostitution, but what about sado-masochistic sex between consenting adults.?

I prefer sado-masochistic sex between finger puppets... orgies of up to ten at a time.

LOL

Seriously though, let them do whatever they want, if they both consent. What's wrong with that? There's a law somewhere (here in the US of course, a Washington city I think) that says a man can't nail his wife (or any Significant, for that matter) when his breath smells like garlic.

What if she *likes* it that way?! (yuk, but it could happen)

It's just a dumb thing.

'xac'ly... why should anyone care what goes on behind closed doors?... as long as no one is locked up behind them... when they don't want to be.

If that is true, I shall never touch yummy Garlic ever again.
Interestingly, my employment contract stipulates the I cannot eat garlic if I am working the following day.
Does life ever suck!

Do you workin a kissing boothe?

That's weird! What do people have against YUMMY GARLIC? I mean, you can brush your teeth afterwards!

I *love* garlic. and it's very healthy. Hey, once I drank garlic and lemon salad dressing straight. Delicious. It's just that you can't really count on getting laid afterwards, that's all. No need for a law.

About the power women hold over men: very simple reason. Both have their urges, which must be satisfied, but a woman doesn't necessarily need a man for this. Substitutes are available that do a better job than we can. But there's no replacement for a woman...there's the rub.

*note to self: "Loves garlic +1"



Well, you're well ahead of Monsy in the race to marry me (Monsy: "already married -10").

I agree with you on this whole line of though. It's amazing the silly laws on the books! Things you KNOW they'll never be able to enforce, unless they ride around on your shoulder 24-7 like in 1984- and who wants that? Other than the criminals in the "justice system"?

"In a police state, the only place for a criminal is in the police."

Once knew a girl called K.Garlic.
Yum yum!

Did she TASTE like garlic?
