There is absolutely no legitimate reason for the government to be involved in this free-market activity!

That line reminds me of an incident on Rush Street in Chicago, when I walked past a bar, and the late and great raunchy comedian Redd Foxx was doing his standup routine in a horseshoe bar (this was before he was ever on TV). A lady at the bar kept harassing him, and he finally said to her, "Why are you trying to keep me from earning a living, I wouldn't burn your bed!"

Not in the USA except Las Vegas, Nevada! And you don't think there's a crying need for the AEP?

And I should care why? God you yanks are so fucking arrogant. You need to get it through your thick heads that the US is not the default country of the planet.

So, according to you, a girl as young as 8, who wants to sell herself for sex, should be allowed to do so? The child is too young to consent, so this is at least one justifiable limitation against prostitution that government can help us with.

To put it simply, Bob has cuckoo ideas that defy explanation which he can't justify.

It is too, and all the other countries are at-fault.

Please, that's a corruption of individual freedom of choice in the pursuit of happiness!

Jesus Christ, we're not talking about children, we're talking about consenting adults!

Wrong again dum dum. It increases freedom of choice and it promotes the welfare of the people.
