Prostitution is NOT a " victimless " crime. Let's forget, for the moment, what frequenting whores does to the family members of the " John ". Streetwalkers , just like dope dealers, and yes, carwindow washers, disrupt and harm a community. It's the old " broken window " and graffitti quality of life thingy. I guess that you think that legalizing prostitution would get whores off the street and into posh bordellos. You must live in a parralell universe, where everyone is reasonable, rational, brilliant, and oh so personally responsible. That's not what REAL life is like. Libertarians lack common sense and refuse to ever admit that their assumptions leave out millenial old knowledge of human nature.
The actual topic, BTW, of this thread, is about the now self outing of the true Libertarian position of spoiler. In reality, the LP is nothing more than a group of spoiled little kids, who , since they can't ever be the leader , want the WORST possible , very unConservative goal of Dem hedgemony. They'd have supported Hitler and Nazi goons too, I suppose . Waaaaaa, waaaa, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... since Libertarians can't ever win a high elected position, then let the worst possible , most antifreedom candidates run everything. With such political geniuses making LP policy, Libertarians more than deserve the sorn and calumny heaped upon them by REAL Conservatives ! : - )
Infidelity where no money is exchanged is often more devastating to a family - shall we throw cheaters in jail? Or if a "John" can prove to a court he's not married, he should be set free?
Only people who harm others belong in prison. I don't care how much damage they inflict on themselves. If they harmed no one they do not belong in prison. If they harmed another then they do. Wether or not they have a drug problem is irrelevant.
Prostitution is NOT a " victimless " crime.
Of course it is. Prostitution takes place between consenting adults. There is no coercive force involved. No fraud. There is no perpetrator and no victim.
They'd have supported Hitler and Nazi goons too, I suppose.
Uh, no. But, since you brought it up, the interventionist foreign policy of the US played a role in Hitler's rise to power.
