*cough* Prostitution is already legal in New Zealand, don't need the faulty US estimates and scaremongering: Legalized brothels ?fantastic? for New Zealand, prostitutes say | Toronto StarProstitution should be legal and taxed, the same as drugs.Prostitution: Sex doesn?t sell | The Economist
I guess people can't afford to blow their money anymore. Everybody's getting screwed...or not.
No, it should not. Go read any of the many threads on the subject to find out why you are wrong.
Whereas in the US you punish prostitutes just for doing their jobs, and give them an unsafe work environment.The website for the Bon Ton brothel in Wellington, New Zealand, invites customers to enter a “safe and secret oasis where the outside world melts away” and “courtesans” like Victoria and Isobella are ready to fulfill your fantasies on “fresh cotton linen.”
Prices vary from $228 to $304 (Cdn.), depending on which lady or “combination of ladies” you hire, and online biographical details such as age and bust size can help with those difficult decisions.
Credit cards are welcome but the same can’t be said for customers who are intoxicated or refuse to wear a condom.
That’s not just Bon Ton policy. Under the Prostitution Reform Act introduced by the New Zealand government in 2003, brothel operators who don’t promote safe sex face criminal charges.
Prostitutes are also covered under occupational health and safety laws.
“It’s been just fantastic, really,” said Catherine Healey, national coordinator for the New Zealand Prostitutes’ Collective.
By the time most of us are 250 years old, we will be down to 6.5% unemployment....I cant wait !!!
Nope, lower unemployment by spending money on infrastructure, social welfare, and getting car makers out of bankruptcy was and still is the answer. If there had been more stimulus money the US would have been out in 2009. But instead the tea party/neoliberal con artists spun their faulty data, about the world ending when government debt reaches 100%.If businesses paid decent money, so that so many Americans weren't in extreme poverty, then it wouldn't be so bad as it is. Or are we meant to believe the 'job creator', 'trickle down', 'lower tax', 'no regulations' myths still; even though the recession was caused by the same BS the right wing is still pushing.
Ah, so you think even higher unemployment is the answer? That's...just...brilliant...

The stupid, immoral, misogynistic idea of legal prostitution has been roundly discredited and disproven elsewhere. Have fun reading.
So says the Ferengi. Time for an education lesson from Picard himself:Nope, lower unemployment by spending money on infrastructure, social welfare, and getting car makers out of bankruptcy was and still is the answer.

You're fucking hopeless.
Prostitution should be legal and taxed, the same as drugs.Prostitution: Sex doesn?t sell | The Economist

No it doesn't, and it has been legal in New Zealand since 2003; and no implemented law has put it as the same as other jobs. So not sure where you are getting the idea it is unsafe from, here is the result; rather the scaremongering: PageProstitution should be legal and taxed, the same as drugs.Prostitution: Sex doesn?t sell | The Economist

I think it was in Germany where a woman on welfare was informed that there was a vacancy in the brothel and that she had to take that job. I am not sure what the current status of that situation is but placing prostitution in the same category as rest of the normal jobs poses complications as you can see.
The main points about the Prostitution Reform Act are:
[*] You have the right to refuse to have sex with a client for any reason, or for no reason. No one- including managers, receptionists, minders, clients, other workers, etc., can force you to have sex with a client, even if he has paid. Managers cannot fine you for refusing a client- it is against the law for them to do so.
[*] You cannot be coerced (induced or compelled) into having sex by having money taken off you, etc., (i.e., fined, etc.), or threatened in any way. Section 16 of the Prostitution Reform Act states any person who does so commits an offence and is liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years.- You do not have to register with the police, or even contact the police, if you wish to be a sex worker in New Zealand. Under the old laws, Massage parlours were required to keep a register of names, with identifying details, which were to be given to the police for inspection upon request. In some areas, people working privately had to register with the police before they could advertise in their local newspaper. This is no longer the case.
- Operators, clients and sex workers must take all reasonable steps to ensure a prophylactic sheath (condom) or other appropriate barrier is used if those services involve vaginal, anal, or oral penetration or another activity with a similar or greater risk of acquiring or transmitting sexually transmissible infections. Failure to do so can mean a hefty fine. This means that everyone should use a condom and/or dental dam for vaginal, oral and anal sex.
- A brothel is a place that is habitually used by just one sex worker or more for commercial sex activities with clients. All brothels must display health promotion messages. There are some posters that have been published by the Ministry of Health that spell out the requirements for safer sex practices. These are available from NZPC and are free.

Human trafficing occurs regardless, no solid proof from either that fully legalized prostitution actually increases trafficking. Misleading articles at best. Here are the actual statistics versus the speculation:Good, stay in Gilead; or keep dreaming you are in it.

Chelsea-Lyn Rudder: Sex for Sale: Legalized Prostitution Hurts Human Trafficking Victims
Does Legalized Prostitution Increase Human Trafficking?
Already did, and if you look at the data for human trafficking on the map I just posted you see that the US (being a nation that is meant to have made prostitution illegal) has a higher rate of trafficking than Canada, the UK, France, etc. In New Zealand in 2009 (prostitution was made legal in 2003) there were no incidents (victims or otherwise).You didn't read the study, did you hack?
The second link. Read it.

By the time you 'Conservatives' get done with your little fits, the unemployment will be 65%.
I wonder what percentage of all new jobs created are prostitutes.
