$ for sex/drugs

Actually, they're not legitimate. They are, in fact, illegal.

You are almost correct.

Legitimacy and legality have no bearing on each other.

Most of the participants in this thread do not seem to understand the difference.

False. In fact, legality is the very definition of legitimacy.

False.

Oh, so you are like the others?

Don't want to admit that you are wrong, but do not know how to prove you are right?

Go ahead and tell me how the state is the ultimate authority on the legitimacy of all things...

Not without government regulation and that means from a civil rights perspective, consumers would be less free to choose what they want than they are now.

Good thing I do not believe in government regulations.

Due to my ideology, my position can be better described as having the government mind their own fucking business.

Without prostitution and drugs being included in the fr

ee market, those enterprises are going to be undertaken using shoddy practices in order to finance abusive criminal factions.

Ox ,your wrong its not the drugs and illicit sex that we need it law enforcement. Politicians get rich off drugs imo they are the biggest cartels in the world. Even richer off wars.

A nation of sluts is not a good thing, nor is a nation of oppiate drugged. Marijane is ok but all others should be illegal.

Ok, so if you had cancer, you wouldn't object to being treated by a doctor and hospital that hadn't been licensed or taking cancer medications that hadn't been tested to standards set by the government. You would just trust the free market to keep you safe and healthy.

Those hookers got fat as hell ,welfare hookers. Too much sitting and laying I guess. Puss Pussys Inc.. I know if Dude were here he'd like my new name for the pigetts.

So what is the problem here?

No one likes women leveraging their bodily assets for financial gain? Men can do it too.

Legality is an objective standard and legitimacy is a subjective standard.

The supposedly pro-capitalist party of America is vehemently opposed to the sale of sex and recreational drugs. Two legitimate enterprises which contribute to the economy.

Why is there such opposition to prostitution and the drug industry from those that also parade civil liberties and economic freedom?

Likely because Republicans and conservatives have been consistently hostile to civil liberties and inconsistent with regard to economic freedom.

The Clintons are a lot of fun when they are not stealing from taxpayers or killing people.

When I go to a doctor/hospital, I have no fucking idea whether they are following government standards or not. I know that they are not going to intentionally try and kill me if I was undergoing surgery or something. That would not be good for business.

I would only get surgery at a place with a good reputation, and I might still be opposed to people fucking with my insides, no matter what standards they met.

I do not take medication. I have physical and neural issues, yet all types of medication have a high chance of permanently or temporarily fucking you up.

There should be limits, laws make limits. Limits protect men from themselves.LOL. A child brought into this woeld deserves a father. Most men don't want thier wives out in the streets in heat. Be hot at home or be single. Nothign wrong with being single and dating.

It's no longer the "pro-capitalist party of America", it's the pro-religion party.

lol That sounds a lot like Hillary saying, "What emails are you talking about?"

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

It sounds like a great campaign issue if you are running for mayor of your prison cell block.

On the contrary, it is a great campaign issue for anyone who wants to fight the nanny state and boost the economy.

Republicans and conservatives are ardent purveyors of the nanny state:

Conservatives advocate more government compelling women to give birth against their will through force of law.

Conservatives seek to disadvantage gay and transgender Americans through force of law.

Conservatives want more laws placing an undue burden of the right of African-Americans to vote and limiting the religious liberty of Muslim Americans.

Republicans and conservatives work to enact more laws, more government, bigger, more intrusive government at the expense of individual liberty.

It's the pro American party.

Legality is an objective standard and legitimacy is a subjective standard.

Legitimacy in a philosophical context is the authenticity of something.

Legality and legitimacy have no bearing on each other.

The law cannot determine the authenticity of any act. If selling drugs produces money, then it is a legitimate business practice. The state may consider it illegal, but that is irrelevant.

The problem here is that you are uneducated and moronic. Legality is the very definition of legitimacy. This is not a debatable point. You are flatly wrong just on the facts. Your own ignorance is not an argument.
