As for what the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment says? I don't know, and I don't particularly care to know because there are more people who live outside of the United States than who live in it... myself being one of those people. It also has nothing to do with what I stated.

the united nations has drafted up something similar to that. almost all European nations have a quasi-first-amendment.

You say that there is never a victim in a consensual crime, and you also state prostitution as an example of one of those crimes. Have you ever taken time to get to know a sex worker? Believe me, they suffer as a victim of their chosen 'profession', even those who are still young and stupid enough to think that what they are doing is glamorous will eventually come to realise that they have had part of themselves taken away.
|
so what if they come to realize it? they chose the path. they only hurt themselves. why should they go to jail for it? can you give me a good reason?

I saw an extremely interesting documentary called "Love For Sale" about Miss Kitty's Brothel in Nebraska, USA. There was a part of it where someone was talking to one of the workers there and she was saying that everytime you sleep with a client he takes a little bit of your soul away with him and that she had to leave the job for a while because she had no more left to give.
|
then maybe she shouldn't have chosen the profession? why should the government protect you from yourself? you should choose your poison, or your pleasure. obviously she still wanted to do it, and didn't mind "losing her soul," because if she did, she would have quit a long time ago. so what's the problem here? i see no problem.

I found that a deeply insightful and interesting point, especially when one views it in reference to the idea of a 'victimless crime'.
|
there is no victim in a victimless crime. and i am using the term consensual crime, not victimless. what about people who get deeply upset when someone leaves them? should they go to jail for it? if they said it with the same inflection, and the same adjectives, would it be equally as horrible? of course not. that's stupid. so why is this any different?
