Lamenting that Kraft is being persecuted doesn’t make us whoremongerers

This nation has been saved time and again btw by young men who availed themselves to the warm tender temporary physical love of a woman

Might have been their last

Don’t be too hard on us guys

We’re wired for women

“Lamenting that Kraft is being persecuted doesn’t make us whoremongerers”

I think that Kraft is being prosecuted, not persecuted. However, I can understand those who might argue that it is not the role of law enforcement to publicly shame people for their vices.

On the other hand, prostitution is not a victimless crime. These are those who think so, but this naivety needs to be corrected in order to do more to prevent it.

“This nation has been saved time and again btw by young men who availed themselves to the warm tender temporary physical love of a woman”

War is hell. I’m not going to debate over unwise choices made by young men who faced it. I will say that war is not an excuse to do evil though.

But this particular case did not involve young men at war. It got media attention because of one particular rich old man who was going to a massage business for more than just a massage. What he did was illegal. What he did harms people.

Did he deserve to be publicly humiliated? I don’t know. No more than I deserve it sometimes I think. The issue is whether prostitution should be illegal and what ways such laws should be enforced.

I understand there is a human element to such things. Same applies to things like drinking and driving though. Same applies to someone who has road rage and ends up injuring or killing someone in a fit of anger. We humans are flawed creatures. The cops, the judge, the prostitutes, the johns, and all of us discussing them are just flawed humans. Still doesn’t change what is right and wrong.
