Weekends demand a higher rate.

If Bella was Chinese would she be a Wonton Slut?

No, but she would be a Peiking Tom. :)

So, then you are stating that my possession of a lottery ticket within the border of NC (a crime), is not a victimless crime?

Who is the victim of my crime of possessing a lottery ticket?

It's Wednesday. Get back to your paper!

Quote "Well, I don't understand the connection between McDonald's and adult bookstores unless McDonald's food makes you horny or pornography gives you the munchies."

When you eat McDonalds you look like Rosie O'Donnell if female and Michael Moore if you are a male. Hence no person of the opposite sex will want you so you are relegated to porn.

Ick. I hate Wonton soup.

Prostitution laws do not cover the making of pornography, as you well know.

I believe they do, but the law is not being enforced. It was in the past, especially in the early days of the porn industry.

Stay where you are, General Tso and his vice squad jackboots are on their way to detain you.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Just keep repeating your far-left mantra: Christians are the Taliban.

I love it because it shows what an anti-Christian bigot you are.

[Bella_Bru]

oooh...I hope they like leather.

And when you are out of power, your enemies will use their newly-found power to "ban pornography" to ban such things as the Bible and your political newsletter.

That's not an argument you're presenting. More like a paranoid vision.
For generations, it's been illegal to engage in lewd behavior in the public square.

Have such laws even come close to threatening people's right to pray or read the Bible in the public square?

That's not an rational argumentative question you're presenting, inquest.

Comparing lewd behavior in public with prayer/reading is more like a paranoid claiming that an apple is an orange.

Quote: "I can tell you that I have no interest in returning to Puritan days. They banned Christmas!"


They also banned anything that did not pertain to work or the church also. I'll be darned if I have to give up my Mustang.

Prostitution is a local crime. The enforcement of the laws against it fall on local police. The feds have no roll in the matter. And in places where porn is a huge industry, such as in the valley, the laws against prostitution do not include acting in porn.

Never said that. People who want to come into my home and tell me what I can and cannot watch or read are the Taliban.

If we include the "indirect" victims, yes I am.

Yes, we're all "victims", indirectly. What affects one affects all in the embrace of the collective.

"Would you favor, therefore, the prohibition of alcohol?"

If alcohol were illegal and statistics showed that alcohol led to rape, I would expect the legalization of alcohol to lead to more rapes. What other topic would you like to switch to? Drugs? Tobacco? Fatty foods? Same answer.

But the decision to legalize alcohol would be made on many other factors rather than just its connection to rape.

Prohibit alcohol? No, we tried that once and it didn't work.

There are people who believe Elvis is alive, but that doesn't make it so.

Tell it to Poohbah. The point of my posts is to uncompare them.

Do you think prohibiting porn would be any more effective? Especially considering that porn doesn't have to be smuggled over the border- it can simply be downloaded from a Swedish, Dutch or Russian company.

How does prostitution become legal just because it is filmed?

Porn actors accept money for sex and can be charged with prostitution.
