I’d say that they were terminally confused, but then their medical system might euthanize them.

Left to just the Dutch, neither the prostitution or drugs was a problem; but waves of immigrants quickly took to abusing the system.

Wow, that almost sounds like a country that I'm familiar with.

The system was fine until they got customers?

Of course, there is something very German about the government registering prostitutes.

IIRC, that's exactly what the Germans do.

What a great time for a congressional fact finding trip. Hillary should go too so she can strengthen her financial and economic acumen

Plus, she has a bigger **** than most Democrats.

Kind of like teaching - it's a great job until you bring in the students.

No, I don’t think I would have sex with her if I’m only gonna get paid 20 Euros; probably not even if she paid me 50...

Wut? I’m supposed pay her? Seriesly?

“We try not to address these problems from the moral point of view,” Eberhard van der Laan, Amsterdam’s mayor, said.

Well, yes, you are, Mr. Mayor, and it isn't a bad thing, but you're going to have to think it through. Preventing these women from being abused is certainly a moral point of view, and it's a good one. The difficulty is that you're trying to have it both ways: switching on morality when it is in the interest of preventing the sorts of abuse you don't like and switching it back off when it comes to the overall question of just how abusive prostitution is in itself. That is a fair working description of your government's approach and why it is likely to fail.
