So a woman can advertise in a newspaper or on the Web and meet clients that way quite legally. What is not allowed is pimping, brothels, and working as anything other than an independent contractor. All of these offenses come under the rubric of "living off immoral earnings". A lot of prostitution in the UK takes place in massage parlors of doubtful legality.<BR/><BR/>The problem with the Ipswich victims was that they were all hard core drug addicts who would not be acceptable even in massage parlors, and who were certainly not up to marketing themselves as "high-class courtesans" or escorts.<BR/><BR/>Everyone and their brother (or sister) in the UK has been coming out of the woodwork with proposals that go all the way from adopting the Swedish model of criminalizing the purchase of sex (but not the sale) to totally permitting it.<BR/><BR/>Personally I can't see why not use the South American and Latin model of having certain bars and discoteqes where women and men can meet and make their arrangements. Some of my attempts to discuss these issues are chronicled on my own blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-1166800292573291472006-12-22T10:11:00.000-05:002006-12-22T10:11:00.000-05:00True, Bob, they may be taking Aquinas's position: ...True, Bob, they may be taking Aquinas's position: it's OK to legislate morals, but only when the law is likely to do more good than harm.gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-1166660059268299022006-12-20T19:14:00.000-05:002006-12-20T19:14:00.000-05:00Are you somewhat inclined to the hypothesis that C...Are you somewhat inclined to the hypothesis that Crash Landing has ever encountered a hit from Google?Wabulonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838347174718251102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-1166538125460643532006-12-19T09:22:00.000-05:002006-12-19T09:22:00.000-05:00Gene,Believe me, I get what you're saying about th...Gene,<BR/><BR/>Believe me, I get what you're saying about the irrelevance of people dying, but is it really that crazy?<BR/><BR/>E.g. couldn't you think that you have the right to shoot at a home intruder, but it might be imprudent if you thought you might miss (or he had buddies) who would then shoot back and maybe hit your family?<BR/><BR/>So by the same token, there are people who think the State has the right to enforce morals.
