I have a cat brothel on my doorstep.
Britain continues its inexorable leap into the ash heap of history ...
I'll leave the porchlight on so I can watch.
Here are some condoms, birth control pills, a bottle of liquor and the car keys. But I want you to understand that in no way am I approving of your having sex.
they just want to turn their whole country into a nightclub on the taxpayers tab, not alot different than here
it won't be long when they decide, "ah hell, you 'feel' like killing someone that bothers you, go ahead, we don't approve of it, but go ahead its legal now"
Now you are talking complete and utter bollox.
Here is a complete and utter surprise for you there are brothels in America as well, in fact surprise surprise there are brothels everywhere. And there have always been brothels. As long as men want to or are willing to pay for sex there will be women who will provide that service. And paying for sex is a tad different to wanting to kill someone.
And allowing people to transact a business is just a tad different to allowing someone to kill someone
Like Nevada?
"Here is a complete and utter surprise for you"
and here is one for you too
mans been killing each other since man has been around
and another suprise for you; some kill for hire too, there is the business end of it
I'm not happy with this slippery slope Britain is on. I get that this law change doesn't actually legalise brothels but is supposed to stabilise the position of single prostitutes.
But legalising prostitution makes the government a pimp, sexualises society and distorts the relationship between normal men and women. Germany (where prostitution was legalised recently) is becoming more and more sexualised - and also unemployed women on the dole can be forced into prostitution. Why not - it's a legal profession there.
So I hear you Tony about other countries having brothels - but don't let's mentally normalise them - we're better off staying uptight Brits rather than d*ck-led Germans. No offence to any Freeper Germans - I doubt this applies to you.
No not really.
It was your jump that annoyed me, because we are allowing legal brothels it stands to reason that we would allow legal killing.
Its just an example of another the sky is falling chicken licken argument
If only they would stay there when they arrived "wishful sigh" (actually, I have no desire to wish additional troubles upon our dear British Friends)
According to the article, the new law allows "two women and a maid" to share a "mini-brothel". Considering the potential for discrimination lawsuits from homosexual prostitutes, I have no doubt that this new law will be 'tweaked' to be more gender-inclusive in it's language. Given that likelihood, I suppose Hillary could be "The Maid"........
But even when we were most uptight in the Victorian era, the 30s and the 50s we had brothels that were criminal and underground and were controlled by criminals.
I don't frequent brothels I don't take drugs, but there are those who do, and as it stands in the twilight world of drugs and sex we allow the criminals to operate and control.
Its a kind of I don't care what happens as long as I don't know about it. And lets have a laugh when we get a tom in for our mates stag do.
We all know people who have been to a prostitute I know quite a few business acquaintances, morally upright good capitalists Tory voters to a man.
And it was almost compulsory when I was in the army.
Not a minor point at all in my view, but an essential one. It seems that not only do some believe that our American Constitution is a 'living, breathing document' but that basic tenets of society are also not only entirely flexible but in fact MUST be altered on a regular basis in order to "keep up with the times". There are some things in this world that are universally and eternally right and some things which are universally and eternally wrong....prostitution is one of those universally and eternally wrong things that should never be condoned by society as being okay and part of "the natural way of things". Some on this thread seem to be making the argument that just because an evil thing has been around forever that this in and of itself makes it okay and it should be accepted by society. Evil in many forms has always been around and we have always fought it....there's no reason why this should be any different.
