You said Middle East, and those places are in the Middle East, no? You were making a generalization.

You know how I know the Gang-rape story isn't legitimate? Because rapist do not serve time, they're put to death, specifically, beheaded.

And the raped are accused of adultery, shamed by their families, and often executed.

At about the time my dad was in the IIAF in Iran, after the IR, capital punishment on a virgin was forbidden, so the young girl accused of non-sexual adultery would be raped by the state to qualify her for death.

The Middle East is far from an apt example of women with power in society.

I've actually been to Iran so I know first hand, I'm not letting someone fool the crowd even if they have Iranian blood.

When and why were you in Iran?

So much for woman power and liberation. Prostitution and the agreeance of prostitution just shows how weak women are around the world.

in comparison to whom? the super strong, confident, and successful men that pay them money? prostitution can be a career of great power, especially in a legalized climate.

In your opinion.

no, you f*cking moron.
WHEN PEOPLE HELPLESSLY HAND OVER CASH TO YOU FOR VERY LITTLE WORK YOU TEND TO POSSESS POWER, SPECIFICALLY... POWER OVER THOSE WHO GIVE YOU MONEY.

duh.

p.s. great rebuttal... NOT!

And this proves women's liberation, how again? A prostitute by no means has power my good man, instead she's just another dog put out in the streets to get used and abused.

Unfortunately your mindset is too pathetic to fathom how sad you are to think that prostitution is good for a woman because it hands her power.

Please do not have children, you're a piece of filth.

what the f*ck are you talking about? not all prostitutes are "out in the streets." a lot work out of their own homes. a lot choose their own clients. a lot are very successful, very happy, and do very little work for a lot of money. no one is "using" or "abusing" these prostitutes; if anything, these self-made prostitutes are using men desperate for any sort of human connection (largely & mainly sexual).

you clearly have a very narrow understanding of prostitution; not all prostitutes are teenage runaways with a pimp... that usually only exists when prostitution is made illegal.
my mindset is too pathetic? what the hell are you talking about?! at least i can separate sexuality from some sort of bizarre honor system or f*cking "love" or something. prostitution can be a business just like any other... safe, rewarding, and marketable. unfortunately, your too f*cking zealous (or stupid) to realize that sex isn't a bad thing & that anything you can legally give away for free... couldn't possibly be rationally illegal to give away for a price.
i don't plan wasting my time, money, & effort on a kid... don't worry.

According to a recent article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, frequent sexual activity does not increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. In fact, it appears that an increase in sexual activity may provide a protective benefit against developing prostate cancer.

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that is located between the bladder and rectum. The prostate is responsible for producing a fluid that is a component of semen. One in every 6 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer within their lifetime, making prostate cancer the second most common cancer in men.

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 231,000 cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2004, and approximately 30,000 will die from the disease. Researchers continue to evaluate environmental and genetic factors that may be associated with prostate cancer so that men may alter their lifestyle to reduce their risk, or obtain appropriate screening measures if they are considered to a be at high risk.

Results from a multi-institution clinical study evaluating the frequency of ejaculation and its possible association with prostate cancer were recently completed. The study included over 29,000 men who were aged 46 to 81 years. The men answered questions about the average number of ejaculations they had per month during their 20s, 40s and the previous year (1991). The men were given questionnaires every 2 years, beginning in 1992 and ending in 2000 regarding ejaculation frequency. After approximately 8 years of follow-up, data indicated that most levels of ejaculation frequency were unrelated to the risk of developing prostate cancer.

However, men with ejaculation frequency of 21 or more per month had a 33% decreased risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those with an ejaculation frequency of only 4 – 7 times per month over the span of a lifetime.

The researchers concluded that frequent ejaculation it not associated with an increase in the development of prostate cancer. In fact, in this study, men with 21 or more ejaculations per month has a reduced risk of developing prostate cancer over a span of a lifetime than those with 4-7 ejaculations per month.

"When you look at the data in a little bit more detail, you do see that not only is there not an increased risk, but there is potentially even the possibility of a slight decrease in risk with high ejaculation frequency," says researcher Michael Leitzmann, MD, an investigator at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md. Leitzmann conducted the research during a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard University.

Leitzmann says researchers suspected that ejaculation frequency might be a marker of a healthier, more active lifestyle. But when they accounted for diet, exercise, and other risk factors for prostate cancer, the link between frequent ejaculation and lower prostate cancer risk remained.

Researchers say the findings raise several questions about the biological role of sexual activity and ejaculation in the development of prostate cancer. Leitzmann says that until now, sexual activity had been associated with prostate cancer risk due to the hormone hypothesis. The male sex hormone testosterone is known to spur the growth of prostate cancer cells and it also fuels the male sex drive. Therefore, it had been proposed that very sexually active men had a higher risk of prostate cancer because they had higher testosterone levels.

But he says this theory has its shortcomings because testosterone levels alone do not predict prostate cancer risks and they do not appear to correlate with sexual desire as much as previously thought.

^ He's not denying that prostitutes aren't abused. He's talking about the majority. Besides if prostitution were legal in the US, then pimping would probably be illegal.

The majority of your posts are about your religion. So why is that a laughable statement?

Because your perception of the subject is skewed by your religion...

yeah you really think having regulation on std testing is going to be worse than having no regulation whatsoever.

definitely see how that makes sense.

Listen to the shit that you're spewing. "Regulation on STD testing" Where's that regulation NOW?! Oh wait, there isn't one... and there's never going to be one.

WHERE IS THE REGULATION NOW? THERE ISN'T ANY BECAUSE IT'S f*ckING ILLEGAL SO IT CAN'T BE REGULATED. WTF DO YOU NOT GET ABOUT THIS??

i'm talking about regulating PROSTITUTES std testing. if it was legalized they could make them get tested and be clean.

you are missing the entire point of what i'm saying. you act like i'm talking about std regulating in everyone in the country. no wtf, this is about prostitutes.

-.- If they regulate on prostitution, they would have to do the same with all civilians. My God I could compare the movie 28 weeks later to this retarded idea. Why the hell would they only regulate STD testings on the possible host?... They have to regulate it on all people not just the possible host which would be the prostitute.

god you're dumb

take a look at the prostitution system in amsterdam, and you'll see that it works.

Tama, you need to do some research about the STDs and prostitution. In many European countries STDs are lower in prostitutes than it is amongst the general public.

Prostitutes will more than likely work in Eros, brothels, or bars. If prostitution is controlled the government will be able to make more money off it, kids won't be exposed, the risk of disease will go down, abuse will go down, sex slave trade will go down...

Children and women aren't allowed in the red light district.

Of course it shouldn't be illegal... A woman should be able to do what she wants to do with HER body. The government doesn't have the right to tell prostitutes that they can't do that.
