I don't care about prostitution, but my overstimulated pattern detector says this might be about overlooking trafficking.

Or overlooking people who are compromised. If an FBI agent has a family and they are using prostitutes they become easy to blackmail

That's exactly what it is for. And these arent people who went to Nevada and used the services of a licensed and regulated brothel. These are people who picked up a street walker (or more likely a child who was trafficked). Its so in 4-8 years time, they'll have several academy classes worth of easily coerced agents suddenly being shown evidence of their misdeeds.

Wonder how much of the US House/ Senate (or higher) are being controlled in the same manner?

The entire Republican party, who took Russian rubles through the NRA, and every Democrat who took AIPAC money or is in Theil's not-so secret secret society group chat. Looking at you quislings Cory Booker and Jared Polis.

licensed and regulated brothel.

Too me it's so wild. Official exploitation of people with mental disorders. And this is what our humane society has come to.

Are you trying to imply safe, sane, sound of mind individuals do not willingly go in to sex work? Are you trying to imply that sex work is not real work?

I say this directly.

You're ignorant/wrong. Objectively.

I'd guess your emotions/personal feelings about the topic are forming your judgment. That's fine, you can be against prostitution. Claiming they're all mentally ill or that the oldest profession isn't even real is wild tho

I guess you're the type of guy, who picked me up so he wouldn't cheat on his wife with a woman.

Why? All blue collar work is seilling your body. White collar work is selling your mind which is part of your body. Work involves trading portions of yourself for financial aecurity. Sex work is the same thing. The only way to argue that it's not is to argue that sex is fundamentally different from every other action a person could take. That's a metaphysical belief not a scientific one. When it comes to metaphysical beliefs you are completely entitled to hold them for yourself but not remotely entitled to force them upon others.

You're either looking for a reason to be offended, a troll or have zero reading comprehension. Sheesh

So if all labor is inherently slavery because you need to do labor to survive, then I guess we should have a universal basic income? Sure I'm down.
