7. slavery included one party who was used against his/her will...Most prostitution involves....

first. no. MOST prostitution is not "willing". MOST prostitution is out of desperation or forced. and this would be part of education. not banning. education. is not wrapping it up all pretty with bogus crap like "2 willing participants" when one is desperate. you know. a DESPERATE human being willing to do what they do, not want to do, to SURVIVE. kinda like those people and children that WILLINGLY work for pennies a day.

second. as ALL the countries that have legalized came to realize, legalization makes it that much harder to go after the criminal element. so that is a failed argue.

what is consistent in this argument is regardless how often told, regardless of the facts, people promoting the selling of others insist on ignoring facts... to wrap it up all in a pretty bow of consent, want, lust, like.... just a happy jolly choice in life cause these women are so damn sexual they want to get it on, you know, 20 blow jobs a night to total loser strangers.... to eat or support a habit.

ya...

lets pretend.
