  1. Re:Time to legalize it already on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Yeah those young college girls looking to earn extra money need protection from their obvious lack of morals. Agreed. I live in a small city and every September the "sex trade recruiters" are out enticing these young women with words like "escort", and "adult companionship", and of course promises of lots of cash.

    College aged women are adults. Actually what I referred to was what the official police reasoning is. Underage girls being used in illegal acts, due to their not having reached the age of legal consent. What an adult male or female does with their own body is their own business, imo.

  7. Time to legalize it already on Proposed Posting of Clients List In Prostitution Case Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    The reasons for this 'outing of johns' is meant to keep young impressionable women from being exploited by more worldly men of low moral character, I'm all for that, and history usually judge's a society by how well it treats it's women. In Maine everyone pretty much knows everyone else. This posting of names would have defamation of character lawsuits occuring constantly, if the state does not have complete proof that the accused is the actual john. Presently, letters do get sent to the addresses linked to license plates of cars seen in areas of prostitution. Perhaps it's time to legalize and regulate prostitution instead of ruining lives.

    I realize human's will usually prefer 'instant gratification', but... Shouldn't we hold off on these great ideas until we have a fully capable moon base up and running. Hell, once we've established that (and worked out all the unforseen problems of a moon base), it will make lots of these ideas more feasible and cheaper to perform.

All that money that's gotten wasted over this patent crap... Everytime I read about another twist in this ridiculous case, my head just shakes left and right several times.
