Default Libertinism

I don't have the time at the moment to get anymore into this tonight, but I will soon and address the issue and the problem of Libertinism. For now though there is a quote that was works well for my ideals on questions like this one.

Quote:
Truth withers when freedom dies, however righteous the authority that kills it; and free individualism uninformed by moral value rots at its core and soon brings about conditions that pave the way for surrender to tyranny.-Frank S Meyer 1962

Are you saying that a smart woman has no right to sell her body to the night? What IQ would be the cut-off point ? What if she's smart but poor and has no other way of making money?
I'm suggesting that prostituting one's self is indicitive of being dumb in at least one aspect. It's a catch-all. If a woman is smart enough to be a rocket scientist but decides to be a prostitute, she's missing something in her smarts. A rocket scientist woman could easily get laid all she wants with the people she wants, make good money, be able to look at herself in the mirror, and continue being successful up to and after retirement. Not to mention there is less a chance for VD, being forced into a nasty situation she didn't want, or getting killed by some psycho she invited into her home. So if people, after reviewing the facts, still wish to be prostitutes fine.
What if a smart woman is also such a beautiful goddess that she can command such a high price for her sexual services that prostituting herself pays better than any other career option? Are you saying that non-prostitute females don't get beaten or raped or killed by creeps they let into their homes and they dont get VD?

Clearly, marital assets laws are such that the wife was already getting paid anyway. In such a case, the husband should go to a woman who is open and honest enough to admit that she's a prostitute.

It should be her right to with her body what she wants. I also think that men should be able to do this as well.

The laws prohibiting this seem to me to based more on a moral aspect then what people really do. It is obvious that many people in this society would take advantage of this trade.

It would also be a way of having some sort of regulation over the industry. Heath checks could be required to limit STD's taxation would be a benifit as well.

I know that where I travel in this great nation there are women and men practicing prostitution. All you have to do is find the right corner.

why should it be illegal to sell something that is perfectly legal to give away for free?

If a woman wanted to pay me for doin'er, I'd want it to be legal. So I see no reason to stop the hotties from givin' it up for cash.

How's that any different that being a gold diggin' ho?

Do you really think you could get paid?

I guess all morality has left this country. No, prostitution should not be legal! Just look at what it does to a community. It destroys it!

I see your point, but prostitution leads to more crimes, death and sometimes worse. Do we not have any moral obligation to stop someone from harming themselves? BTW, making it illegal doesn't make it wrong, but it might prevent someone from seeking that line of work otherwise.

Yes it should be, It is another freedom we have been screwed out of.
How many freedoms are going to be banned before people realize that we are going to have no freedom. Every time you vote to ban something you are taking away a freedom.
