What in the actual f*ck?

BBS has a point, if prostitution was legal, we would have cheaper, safer and better quality prostitutes. Prostitutes would have safer jobs as well.

The law was there, the lawyers knew how to use it.

Not to mention less human trafficking. And less people being forced into it in general. As well as a bunch of other rather large issues.

I have yet to see a decent argument for keeping prostitution illegal.

You sound like a libertarian. You might want to clean your fingertips after typing all of that.

I do not fall into your American categories. I'm European left wing. Relatively far left at that.

Even Aquinas (or Augustine?) supported the legalization of prostitution. If you had to shove him into a meaningless left-right dichotomy, then you'd call libertarians and Augustine right-wing. Of course, that wouldn't mean much, but it may help to reinforce your "us v. them" mentality.

Anyway, can you divulge more about your ideology? How are you on war, drugs, monetary policy, health care, insurance, financial exchange, pollution, courts, policing, etc.?

Changing of laws, what should seem illegal becomes legal as is the case with Woody's example and this one as well.

The NRA lobby's for laws to be changed,States that are republican controlled comply,the result is you end up with the example woody gave and the example I gave.

Truthfully, I don't have much problem with the law as far as it regards your household and someone breaking into it. I do have a problem with it legitimizing cases such as what I brought up in the original post of this thread, as well as neighbors taking action toward your property (as that can lead to some pretty serious misunderstandings when lethality is involved).

So the law in general is ok by me. But it definitely needs to be refined significantly.

The original castle law is fine and I support it as well,the law has been expanded though into stand your ground as well as expansion of the castle law. Its as if the lessons that were learned in the early 1900's have to be learned again. I am it bit disappointed more people have not looked at or commented on the youtube video I posted,it is the rare ocation that all the evidence you need to decide guilt or innocences is available.

ITT

- A guy gets acquitted using castle law.
- Castle laws in Texas are invalid.

In the education thread

- 15 teachers do stupid things.
- Indoctrination of children by teachers.

Actually, no. My original post was regarding a particular interpretation of the
"Stand Your Ground" laws. A really mind-bogglingly stupid interpretation in
which a person's life is worth a broken contract. In fact,
I have stated that I support the idea of the Castle law in its basic sense. Ooge
said the same thing.

Could have came out different. It's not like it was an armed robbery in your home, of which then I could understand.

That and it's $150...It's really not that much money.

You're going to have to explain where that quote shows how I am against the Castle law in its basic sense. Because, as far as I can tell, it does no such thing. As opposed to this statement, which clearly shows my actual view of the Castle law in its basic sense:

Truthfully, I don't have much problem with the law as far as it regards your household and someone breaking into it.
