[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Just one question.
Who do you think is paying for prostitutes?

The hypocrisy of our prostitution laws make me sick. If you want to be soooo "moral"..tell me why the women are only arrested? Sure, a very few men are busted for "soliciting"...but sure not enough to stop prostitution. I agree this is a stupid policy they have in Germany, if that is the case. But legalized prostitution cuts down on crime, disease, etc. And why is Reno making so much money on this? Let's just quit the 'morality" punishment. If there is a crime ( robbery,assault, etc) committed, arrest the person. If you really want to be non-hypocritical then arrest ALL the customers too, the judges, attorneys, suburban married guys.

If Society accepts prostitution, we will create more prostitutes.

More prostitutes means more disease spread.

I agree. I think prostitution should be kept illegal but I think they should go after the johns not the girls.

The same hypocrisy exists in the gay-marriage will destroy the institution of marriage... reality is that it was destroyed long ago with liberal divorce laws. Get rid of the easy divorce and gays won't want marriage.

Figure out the root cause and go after it, not the symptoms.

With exception of management types, all officers I ever worked with think the "biz" ought to be legal and regulated IE Nevada style. I don't believe there's ever been a case of STD traced back to a Nevada 'house'.
Management and elected sheriffs of course oppose it, as you can't shakedown a legal operation. Witness San Bernardino County.

And why is Reno making so much money on this?

Janet Reno is making money off of German hookers?

Wow, another reason to dislike her.
