Oh, and don't even start on quality - Some street prostitutes are attractive and efficient. Why should I trust the government to provide me drugs if I've used the same dealer for 10 years? Do you think people magically decide to change suppliers because one is a public entity? In fact, I have bad experiences with government services on a general rule, so why should I trust it for drugs? I'm not saying regulation is a bad idea, I'm saying that's a simplistic idea and it's not how it works.(September 3, 2015 at 4:07 am)Tartarus Sauce Wrote: If every country legalized and regulated prostitution, there would be a MASSIVE dip in human trafficking globally.
Exactly. Are you going to visit a nice clean regulated brothel or some sleazy back alley whore house. Same with drugs. You have a choice of clean drugs or bathroom poison. I think regulation would be good.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
