I see, so because STDS are lower in two places on the planet where prostitution happens to be legal (according to you) the STDS WILL ALSO BE LESS in places like New York, Chicago and San Francisco if we legalize it there too.And when the prostitutes get pregnant? Then what?That is not what candy is taking about and you know it unless you really don't live in the U. S. And don't understand our laws..
Candy was using a general example on how fucked up our judicial system is.
.
One is Kidnapping and Rape and the other is attempted Murder....
I understand some parts of the judicial system has to be improved but mandatory minimums have generally been a disaster.![]()
Going to prison used to be about rehabilitation, the US has huge prison population and high recidivism rate.

I am not saying as much Candy is wrong but he might be looking in the wrong place....
Another statistic which European find horrifying is cop Shootings:
You are
98 times more likely to be shot and killed by a cop in US than in the UK
72 times more likely to be shot and killed by a cop in US than in the UK, if white
242 times more likely to be shot and killed by a cop in US than in the UK, if black
20 times more likely to be shot and killed by a cop in US than in the UK, if unarmed(any weapon) compared to all killing in UK
What does that say about respect for the US citizen?
Well, I’d do other things too about the law. The OP limited me to “one” law. One of the first things I would get rid of is the possession of marijuana and bust it down to a citation offense. No need to have cops arresting you because you have a joint, aren’t operating a vehicle, sitting on your porch or are at a concert.
Honestly, take all criminality away from it IMHO. Regulate it...
There is massive advantages. Think the of the criminal economy, where are the major sources of revenue. Marijuana and Gambling are major sources (can't find a breakdown)... These are not considered crimes by most people. Thus like probation are just massive sources of revenue.
Gambling is legal in states and in many countries worldwide and can be done very responsibly and in UK & Ireland is one of the freeist marketplaces with betting exchanges accessible to the public to be able to bet or lay a horse. You choose to be a puter or a bookie.
Marijuana could be just treated like alcohol, licence to produce and licence to sell... Quality checked and regulated... % of Revenue from it can be targeted at drug rehab. This give nothing to criminal organisations...
I would do the same for prostitution...
Cut their money off.. Less money, criminals are let go... I know this is funny but they are businesses too. Less money, less attractive... Cops can concentrate on harder drugs, prisons can have less prisoners and concentrate on rehab rather than incarceration.
Also, please expound on the affect on society of legalizing prostitution and unknowing spouses are infected with STDS and or families are broken up over it.

STDs are incredibly low in places like Nevada and the Netherlands where it's legal now. Way lower than banging a chick in the office. Sorry man, the facts don't support you
Right?
Still waiting for you to address the families which are disrupted, damaged or destroyed by spouse who will use "legalised" prostitution to cheat on their spouse, too.
Pretend you are a married woman with 2 or 3 kids and you find out from a now pregnant prostitute that she has been LEGALLY entertaining your husband.
Tell us what her views and actions should be. What you would EXPECT them to be.
