    I sure don't know Walt. That came out of left field and being part of the discussion floors me. I was hoping someone would know what the he** Bern is talking about. Sex therapists? Prostitutes? Madams? High-class call girls? Boggles the mind where politics takes us doesn't it? Thank you for your reply! :)

    Makes sense to decriminalize, prostitution in USA so hookers can pay for condoms,  lube etc necessary to do their job and have some extra cash to give for their pimps.

    Prostitution has been legal  (with certain conditions) in many countries already where they are not embedded with any religious 'moral majority' kind of thing.

    So they ARE talking about hookers then Kg? A serious discussion about leaglizing prostitution is part of the current political dialogue? Sheesh! Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday. So then would pimping be legal too? Get licensed to run a brothel? Yikes!

    Pimping is a felony and should not be legalized -that is coercing women to do sex then taking most of their earnings to live a lavish lifestyle. 

    License to run a brothel could work if the 'girls' are treated fairly. Provides a safer environment for them to  work.

    Yikes Kg! Shows ya what I know about Pimps! So they should not be leglized unless they can be moralized? That is why can't a Pimp act like an Agent getting his client work for a percentage? Of course it must include consent of the client but what's the diff if you pimp your client for sex or a movie? Thank you for your reply m'dear! :)

    A pmp could provide protection for his girls from unruly customers if he puts himself in position to select the persons who are interested in having a lady and make a reasonable agreement in sharing the profits.

    The pimp could act as an agent for her if she wants work in porn industry to help ensure she gets paid reasonably. Some of those porn people like to trick women into working free to 'see how good they are'' and also having the guys actually pay large bucks to have sex to demonstrate their performance with the girls.  Then they never get any work.

    Nothing new....many Dems and Libertarians support this and have for a long time.  Bernie included. 


    Sex workers are prostitutes, stripper etc.

    Doesn't Bern have anything ELSE to talk about?  This is just not the TOPIC that is going to make him crowd-friendly.  You see what I'm saying?  

    I guess it spins out of the abortion issue, which lends to the sex issue which lends to this.  This is not a good topic for any Progressive to blab about.  This scares people.  They think we are Amsterdam.  But you know what?  They have very little crime regarding hookers and drugs. That is for sure.

    That's news to me m2c. Boggles my mind. I'm gonna ask. Thank you for your reply. "Many" dems and libertarians support it you say? What proof do you have of this allegation that you assert with such confidence? It's like the sb prez who says "everyone says so"!

    HA HA HA!

    SEX WORK?

    Oh my god.

    HOLY MOLY.

    I don't know what to say about this one.  I am speechless.  

    That is a hot button (no pun) that NO one should even touch here.  We have war, we have crime, we have discrimination, we have kids in cages, we don't need to worry about the whore industry BERNIE. ARE YOU DAFT?

  • As a politician, Bernie is himself a prostitute and he's been legal for decades.
