I am tiring of this discussion. Prostitution is wrong, FR does not support or promote prostitution. In several threads on FR several people, maybe you, are promoting it, saying it is legal, that you benefit from it because it means you pay lower taxes, etc. I've asked how this is conservative, Christian, Republican, etc. I ask how one reconciles selling out their values to benefit from prostitution through the tax savings. All we get are lame insults.

If people are going to post these articles, engage in discussion, promote prostitution, sell out values, then defend that without insults. Explain how it is right.

And, as well, explain how this doesn't, by association, stain FR and conservatives, Christians, and Republicans. No, you can't, no one has. We and everyone should disavow prostitution, reject Hof.

FR disagreeing with prostitution and saying it’s wrong doesn’t mean people don’t have aright to engage in it. If everything we thought was immoral was wrong, we would need three times the cops and pay that much more in taxes to enforce our loral code.

“I’ve asked how this is conservative, Christian, Republican, etc.”

Well, part of Republicanism is respecting the freedom of states and localities to make their own laws on things that do not conflict with Federal jurisdiction. Things like prostitution.

Don’t like their laws? Go ahead and move there and campaign to change em. Or you can just gripe about it on the internet, I guess.

Kinda hard to mount any kind of discussion about the issue if you insist on conflating the current thread with others in which you’ve participated.

This thread is the first I’ve engaged on the subject, and frankly you come off sounding like an authoritarian.
