observer Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Will the New Labour moralists succede where countless regimes throughout history have failed - by extending criminalisation to punters OR will it merely drive things underground?

Davy51 Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Surely the best policy is to have legalised brothels with proper healthcare for the girls involved.A proper system would help to get the girls away from any involvement with drug pushig pimps who are the real villains of the piece.I also believe it would have a positive result in reducing crime,in particular sex crime.

Steve the Original Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Brothels are Legal over here in sunny Germany and to be honest because they are State controled and the girls have regular check ups, they do provide a service that might just keep the odd pervert/rapist off the street, The State takes a cut(Taxes and so on)and lets be honest its better to have them legaly working rather letting illegal ladies do their business and maybe infecting lots of people with STD?s...

Mary Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 That is because the government of Germany obviously treats the adults like adults instead of children to be nannied! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Original Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi Mary Quite true but saying that it does mean that the streets are that little bit safer for all and the working girls are safe while they work..

knightsamericancheer Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Okay, so if they legalize brothels (which may not be such a bad idea), what happens to the women that are infected (with an incurable STD) and have no other career prospects? I worked in microbiology at Scarborough Hospital and have seen first hand how many nasty critters there are going around. Do we stick them on benefits or find something to retrain them in? Was this an issue in Germany, or was the legalization before the infection rate got high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Original Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 If they are found to be infected and they can cure it then fine they recieve treatment and are not allowed to work, if not curable then they are not allowed to work and are do not recieve a work Certificate,this mens they work illegaly on the streets and let be honest the only girls who work the streets are a high risk they are cheap so you pay your money and take your chance and if your that stupid then its your own fault,its just a great shame for the wives ect who can get infected by no fault of their own.. Â How do i know all this?? simple its common knowledge here and we went through this with the Military so all us young Soldiers were prewarned of the dangers of street girls..

Legion Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I honestly don't see what the problem is with prostitution, in a century where we are supposed to be open minded and all...realy can anyone think of any reason why its illegal. Â no matter what job you do you run risks of aquiring an illness tor injury through the workplace. Â as for your customers health and safety, well in all industry regulations are put in place to ensure customer safety, its only when these regulatuions are flouted does any real risk occur, think dangerouse contaminents in food, none CE approved toys or non British standards approved electrical items or hospital superbugs. Â moral..what morals, sex is not a sordid thing between consenting adults,its wonderful and we all know it. Â exploitation...come on realy, the fact is any job we do is a direct result of exploitation of a specific attribute of us as an individual, so by using the exploitation card, some poor girl who maybe wasnt so bright has to earn a crap wage, if her bodies attributes were better than her minds...what the hell is the diffrence ? Â an artist can paint, a musician can play talents come in all sorts of ways, who are we to impose exclusions to utilising the things god gave us.

observer Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well it's pleasing to see most posters have a rational and balanced approach to the issue; unlike New Labour's Harriet(second mortgage,second house) Harman; and fellow traveller McShane - who seem to be pushing this latest round of half-baked puritan nonesense.
