Legalizing sex for money would make it not only safer for all parties involved, but would also seriously reduce the associated violence to women that springs from its prohibition.Averillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758556623588696377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-83520560933129091022009-04-09T17:58:00.000-07:002009-04-09T17:58:00.000-07:00Somehow the intelligent population of the United S...Somehow the intelligent population of the United States managed to repeal the Volstead Act.

Maybe if all our food was filled with serotonin, we wouldn't feel the need to anesthetize ourselves with drugs. <BR/><BR/>But onto to your last post. You said you feel 34. Well, you also look 34, you lucky, lucky lady. I'm ten years younger than you, and you look 15 years younger than me. I'm very happy for you and the turn of events in your life. It just goes to show you never know what's round the corner.wakeupandsmellthecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602735058278146250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-82308479759080192362009-04-02T05:45:00.000-07:002009-04-02T05:45:00.000-07:00Lost the last lines!....So let's legalise them the...Lost the last lines!<BR/><BR/>....So let's legalise them thereby reducing the horrific expenditure on eradication and the violence surrounding them.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443527125531144896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-30596994349730297712009-04-02T05:43:00.000-07:002009-04-02T05:43:00.000-07:00Blindingly bloody obvious to anyone with half a br...Blindingly bloody obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Of course what you suggest makes perfect sense, but nothing so simple would make sense to those in power. Not to mention those who would raise their hands in horror at the thoght of legalizing drugs and prostitution. Where would the brothels be sited? Who wants drug addicts openly using in their neighbourhoods? I'm happy to say that though old I only know of Prohibition through Movies, but that was insane legislation and Millions were spent policing,trying and imprisoning those who wanted a drink not to mention the lives that were lost.<BR/>Maybe good sense will prevail, but I won't hold my breath.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to nominate this post for POTD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
