Some folks still try to rob McDonald's or Burger King too. The fact that its cheap doesn't mean the customers would rather not pay.

Of course, there is something very German about the government registering prostitutes.

"Your papers please..."

It is dehumanization. You are using your body like a piece of toilet paper. It destroys dignity of the person and reduces them to animal and removes morality from sexual acts.

It is the slippery slope....like with all vice-—you can not have “Justice” (Virtue) when you embrace Vice in your “Justice” system. It is why homosexual “marriage” is an oxymoron and unjust law and defies Reason which is necessary for Just Law.

You can switch the “worldview” of children when they live in toxic cultures where Vice is enshrined in Laws (legal). Vice is normalized. Without Virtue, cultures can not be free.

The first thing Cultural Marxists do to get control is to destroy Virtue in children (control schools and sexualize them before maturity) and promote pornography in the “culture”. Sex is the easiest method to corrupt and destroy people and all long-term productive relationships and the family. Without the family, children will not survive in a healthy way.

It’s sad and reflects a loss of wisdom.

But at least I give God credit for being and doing what He is, too. God is not content to stop with a mere morality. God loves sacrificially. God therefore can and will forgive anyone who wants to get right with Him.

I’m sure that OSHA would be happy to to draft some regulations.

I'll be right *er* on it! Just as soon as Queens Day rolls around.

Most of the year the meat behind the glass ranges from bow-wow to wow with most of them in the MEH category.

*But* (You knew there was a *but*) come Queens Day they bring out the prime, grade AAAAAA+++++ meat. Not a dog in the bunch. As my tongue was dragging the streets of Amsterdam I was trying out phrases in my head like;

"Hi Dear, Look what followed me home! Can I keep it?"

"Hi Dear, It's good to be home. This is Bambi. She will be living with us."

"Hello Dear, You've been wanting some help around the house, have I got a gift for you!"

Trust me, It would be *almost* worth the beating.

[[[[Dutch officials note prostitution is widely practiced even in countries that ban it. (In the U.S., prostitution is illegal except in parts of Nevada.)]]]]

Classic fallacious libertarian thinking. An illegal activity happens, therefore it should be legalized. Prostitution does take place in the United States, but not next door to me. It does not take place in most suburban neighborhoods (at least overtly) next to kids and wives and anyone else who would be hurt.

Because it is illegal, thank God.

It’s tough to clean up a business like prostitution. The nature of the business defies it being so.

regulating prostitution hasn’t deterred human trafficking

Anyone see a parallel between this and banning guns?

They need to unionize or something.

Maybe liberals could establish "fair trade" for sex workers.

dubious sexual practices

Guy: Did we just have sex?

Gal: I was wondering the same thing.

Guy: I’m confused.

“We try not to address these problems from the moral point of view,” Eberhard van der Laan, Amsterdam’s mayor, said.

Of course not. To address anything from a moral point of view, you would first have to HAVE a moral point of view--and modern Europe lost that a long time back.

What? No Demodummies traveling to Holland these days? Probably due to the “sequester” and all.

Willie Jay Clinton will be right on it, I’m sure, since he was so certain about what he DID NOT do with that woman...

Several years ago there was a story about a German woman on unemployment, who was denied benefits because she refused to take a job as a "sex worker".

Found it:

€50? That’s serious inflation from just a decade ago. Something is askew here.

With the open European borders, the professional prostitute class in the Netherlands came under attack by mostly eastern European sex-trafficked women, who worked as illegal prostitutes. At the time the going rate was around €20 for licensed, prostitute-union prostitutes.

€50 (for 10 minutes) was more like the price for ‘concierge’ prostitutes, also not legal, and not in the red light district.

The bottom line is that unlike Germany, where prostitution is very carefully regulated, the Netherlands are so laid back that problems could develop. Left to just the Dutch, neither the prostitution or drugs was a problem; but waves of immigrants quickly took to abusing the system.

Classic fallacious libertarian thinking.

Why make theft and murder illegal? Can't legislate morality.

i guess the phrase “this job sucks.” has a new meaning. and i thought prostitutes forming a cooperative meant a threesome.

With all those windmills in Holland, the Dutch must've gotten a lot of practice tilting at them.
