View Poll Results: Prostitution..?
Sounds like a good idea. It's impossible to get rid of, so why not place it under government supervision? 11 20.00%
Absolutely not. Prostition is completly immoral. 25 45.45%
Not a chance. It cheapens sex in general, and what it should be. 12 21.82%
It's already legal here, and I think it's working out pretty well. 7 12.73%
Voters: 55. You may not vote on this poll

That and most politicians love spouting about morals but rarely practice them. America is definately not as open about sex as other countries are. It's almost like a sign of immaturity. We *are* a young country, after all, so I suppose it's allowed... For now.

Same here. One friend smokes at least 3/4 joints a day, for more than 10 years now. Yet he is not addicted. There are situations that he can't smoke a single joint for weeks in a row (because of work), and that's no problem at all. No withdrawel signs or something. I'm pretty sure you can't get physically addicted to marihuana, but mentally you can. Same goes for cocaine btw, but that's just my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]yep, i also have friends who often smoke it (i have never) and they are perfectly ok and not addicted, one of them used to smoke a bit too much but quit (or at least cut down a huge ammount) which is an obvious sign that it isn't addictive, also it is illegal here in Australia

Calling for hate against certain groups is unconstitutional. Such parties should be outlawed
that statement is a bit contradictive (unless it was ment to be a joke)

but yes we live in a democracy, and these parties have rights, BUT there is a limit to the freedoms they should have, for example extreme right such as (Neo) Nazies, should not exist as a political party in my opinion but that is my opinion, BUT some of these partie's idology/ideas are great and would really help society, but everything in moderation and hate against groups/racism etc is completly wrong.

As long as you have a license to own it, it is legal to have it.
If soft drugs is marijauna etc, NO.
New Zealand is already the largest consumer of marijuana in the world. MORE THAN US+AUS PUT TOGETHER

In Finland they have legalised Marijuana.... they let students use it, because it relaxes them. [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img]

Could not agree more. It makes it safer for the sex worker and for the customer. Brothels are legal in most parts of Australia (all?) as long as they meet strict standards. Not be close to schools, churches, shopping malls etc. Basically they are placed in Industrial areas 'out of sight and out of mind'. Street walking pro's are supposed to be illegal.

Just a pedantic point. Prostitution is not the oldest profession, begging is

someone begged for sex before someone had the bright idea of charging for it [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

*Gun ownership should be limited as much as possible. Even the police should only have limited acces to them.*

This is the way IMO... and the more people excuse thousands of deaths each year because 'we have the right to bear arms' makes me sick. REALLY sick. But I guess while they are busy making excuses they will never see the wood for the trees.
