1360: For the Love of God

I voted yes before listening to the show because if prostitution was legal maybe we would get fewer doctorsleep threads.

It’s the world’s oldest profession, may as well make it legal and taxable. By legalizing it women who decide to sell sex will at least have more of an option other than a pimp that is going to smack them around when they are not force feeding them heroin. I don’t think this will solve the problem of illegal prostitution but it will help.

Decriminalize it, tax it, regulate it and let the prostitutes unionize.

If they're afraid that the pimp-ho hierarchy will remain after prostitution becomes illegal, we could try outlawing some previously-legal profession, like Accounting and see if the pimp-accountant phenomenon emerges. If it does, then obviously pimps only emerge in illegal sectors, and then we can decriminalize Accounting and prostitution. If we criminalize accounting around tax season, the whole experiment wouldn't take much time at all, maybe a couple of weeks.

Find one prostitute that understands what it means to unionize.

If you're comparing Ke$ha to Rebecca Black, you should stop critiquing music because you obviously can't recognize talent.

And I don't understand the comparison. One tries to sing, the other doesn't. Diamonds, fast cars, greed, and ignorance are cool and totally grammy material. Deliberating on whether to kick it in the front seat or sit in the back seat is not (cool people instinctively shotgun, ainec).



(jeezy > weezy btw, but the point still stands)

Prostitution will be a sketchy businessmen regardless of if it is legal or not. However i believe that it will be significantly less dangerous and abusive when women can go to the police without incriminating themselves and government officials inspect the operations. I am sure there is at least one whore who can explain to the others how to unionize.

I for one could see a huge difference between that friday song and other pop songs and i am not even into pop music. It is probably a function of your age (i am 19), i know that i couldn't tell a good jazz song from a bad one for shit.

Also i have to agree with whoever said that delfino's song was quite bad. See mumbled a lot of the lyrics and it seemed like you would barely have to know how to play a guitar to be able to play what she played in that song.
