Pimping ain't easy...or legal. Should it be?

Statikk HDM · #1 06-11-2002, 02:33 PM

Prostitution, should it be legalized. I say why the hell not! Same with drugs and gambling. Wow. It sounds as though I want to destroy the world's very weak morality. Well, hear me out. People will gamble, buy hos and do drugs if they want. Why should big brother come around and mess with the fun of consenting adults? Come on, how bad could a little pot or craps be? Look what happened with prohibition. A bunch of people got their panties in a wad and banned alcohol. Alcohol consumption skyrocketed and so did crime. Did the banning of drugs or prostitution or gambling in areas really do anything? It sure as hell didn't stop the worlds oldest profession. And people by the jillions flock to las vegas for their gambling fix. and when people have the jonesing for drugs, they buy 'em! So why don't people just butt out of other people's lives for a change!

Hmmmm...

I dunno about the other ones but drugs ( steroids, cannibis , poppers ETC Not stuff like parasetemol) can be really dangerous and ,well, from what I've heard damn expensive.

How bad can a little bit be? Well, imagine taking drugs at first. It starts off with a little bit. Then one day you think"Why not a liitle bit more? It never hurt before.." It becomes an obsession. You start to need more to get that extra kick. All the time it's "It'll never happen to me .They just make that stuff about adiction and all that 'teenager dies' thing up to scare people. It'll never happen to me . On and on it goes untill one day your body just can't deal with it any more...

Of course, that just my view. I might be completley wrong.
What do you others think?

Hmmmm....

Soft drugs should be legalised, like cannabis. Prostitution should be legalised. Gambling is legal here and there's no point in changing that.

salty pretzils · #5 06-11-2002, 03:35 PM

I agree.

Danny · #6 06-11-2002, 07:46 PM

Salty, you obviously know little about drugs. You can't tar them all with the same brush. I've been an irregular smoker of cannabis for a good couple of years now, and that in itself is evident that it is not addictive - unlike Tobacco or Heroin, it is possible to BE an irregular smoker of cannabis... Basically, I say that all Drugs should be legalised, since most of the major problems with drugs come not from the drugs themselves but from the impurities they are cut with, a lack of knowledge about them, and crime caused by the expense of them. If they were legalised, organised, and distributed reliably, and people could get all the right information they need (plus being allowed to try them in a safe environment), they would not cause any serious danger to society.

Prostitution should be legal, but not Pimping.

Gambling is stupid, but that's never been a good reason to make something illegal...

Cannabis should be legalised. Prostitution...hmmmm...i dont know. Actually, no. Mainly because one of my best friends mums was a call girl and she got killed and thrown over the Humber Bridge. She only did it to care for her kids which was so nice, and if they dont have anything else to do then they should. But if they do they should have police protection etc. Prostitutes do get alot of money but its disgusting what they have to do to vile 45 yr old fat virgins. The ugly, smelly men who just want to pleasure themselves should be shot (Or dis-allowed.). I dont agree with fat ugly men only want to get off on something they dont think twice about. The women should be set up with a gorgeous model who cares for her and pleasures her as well as himself.

Pimping should be legalised if the Pimps actually care for their money makers. I watched 'Daisy Daisy' which was about that sorta thing and the Pimp said:

"I love my girls, but as soon as the money stops, the love stops!!"

Which i thort was disturbing...how about the Pimps go to the Prisons with all the sexually frustrated, fat, ugly, "Large" prisoners...and see how they like it when the Prison guards take the money/other stuff that he gets away from him.

Gambling is legal here...its good...when you win.

If it's legalised then the prostitues could sell their services in a place with security cameras and personel then things like that would be drasticly reduced.

Many people seem to be biased when it comes to drugs, alcohol, etc. The legaliztion of drugs would cause all types of problems. Feel free to ask me why.

Why?

*last post before september, likely*

If you legalise something, you can put controls on it more easily than if people know what they're doing is illegal and so try to hide it. Some drugs I don't think should be legalised as they ARE dangerous (like LSD, for example, that can really bugger up people's minds after even only one dose, but then again, people will do it whether it's legal or not, so...), but I think things like cannabis should be legalised. Like with prostitution; it's is going to happen whether it's legal or not, but if you legalise it you can regulate it far more easily.

See you freaks again in autumn, probably.

Could you imagine for a one second a group of teenagers doing heroin, a very intense drug, by lets say a couple yards from a busy road. The people, at this point are not braking any laws, they are just doing some heroin while anumber of cop cars can only pass them by, being legal and all. They all get really high and clouded. When they all think it has worn off they decide to cross the busy road while still in a bit of a dream state, thier judgement is more reccless. Suddenly, a few cars come down that busy road, the teeagers walk aimlessly across the street while the cars are coming. One car makes a screeching stop, but the other two swerve out of the way to miss the stopping car. The two cars miss the stopped car, but hit the teenagers and then eachother. Not only did these teenagers get themselves killed, but they also killed the people in the two cars.

When you do intense drugs like these in public areas, you are not only putting yourself in danger, you are also putting the people around you in danger. That is just one reason why drugs like heroin and cocain are not legalised like ciggaretts, which have a much smaller affect on your awareness.

It would make more sense for heroin and cocain to be legal than ciggarettes.

Good effects of heroin and cocain:
They make you high. +10
Bad effects of heroin and cocain:
They kill you eventually. -100
=-90

Good effects of ciggarettes:
None. 0
Bad effects of ciggarettes:
They kill you and everyone near you eventually. -200
=-200

Overall, which has the better effect? Heroin and cocain. I rest my case.

Statikk HDM · #14 06-13-2002, 01:59 PM

Yes, Gluk. But you are missing a few of both drugs more bad sides

Smack and crack:
Make you do dumbass things when you are on them. Like getting drunk to the fifth power stupidness
-200 points
Costs four times more than gold relative to its weight. You become poor and malnourished, living on the street in a cardboard box. You metamorphisize into a smelly hobo, to put it into layman's terms.-300 points
You lose your job. Honestly, no one wants a coked up weirdo in the vicinity of highly caffeinated beverages
-300 points(more if you had a sweet job)
Aids from sharing needles. Impaired brain funtion. Crack and smack smokers lung. You might have to inject the drug with a needle the size of New Jersey, that's never fun. Living in a poor, malnourished state in utter squalor could give you all sorts of effed up diseases
-300(-500 if you get aids)
Cigs on the other hand
Nasty lung diseases that seriously screw up with your leisure time
-300 points
You smell like ass
-150 points
It will cost you thousands of dollars, slowly making you poor and dependant on Medicare and social security. Oh Good God.
-400 points(trust me, our health care system sucks.)
You don't even get high but you might get emphysema
-100 points
So it is more bad than it seems. That doesn't mean it should be illegal. Nobody said alcohol is pleasant, it has killed more people than WW1 and WW2 and 'Nam put together, can give FAS and other nasty diseases and impairments, might spark spousal abuse, and makes you do dumbasss things if you are really wasted. But it is legal, adults round the world enjoy it.

Thankyou for proving my point...

Statikk HDM · #16 06-13-2002, 06:18 PM

Oh Mighty Salty Pretzils, how do you propose to stop people from doing drugs, or drinking, or getting a hooker. Can you? Can anybody? Look at the situation now. WE can continue to throw billions, if not trillions, to stop the worldwide drug/gambling/pimping and prostitution "problem"
But what do we ultimately get out of that. Crowded jails? Broken lives because someone lit up? A world in which we are constantly poked, prodded punished and generally told no and scolded by Big Boss Man/Woman(hey, it's the new millenia, we aren't victims of a patriarchy anymore!

) whenever we want to smoke, drink, eat red meat, dance around in the privacy of our own homes, or do others things there if you catch my drift. I say no to that, as long as nobody gets killed/hurt, what the hell, legalize it! Legalizing doesn't mean lawlessness, though, regcognize that

That story would have worked just as well with Alcohol, and that's legal...
