Everywhere you look. Oh, they'll toss out a feel good story once in one in a while. -- a "real life of" kind of story, but it's bullshit.

Nearly every country where it's legal has a "reeducation" offer to the prostituted person, you know just in case, they want out of the life.

And just who in the up hell thought treating bodies as meat commodities would have any other effect?

The ones who say "it decreases rape" are the ones who really creep me out.
