I have a habit of taking everyone seriously.

Because I consider it a sign of respect.

I don't treat them as a joke.

No matter how stupid and moronic thier ideas are.

I dont take them as a joie but i can read between lines of context

I wonder if America will eventually balkanaize like Rome

Nah... America has a built in system that will allow it to be reborn from time to time.

We are allowed to revolt against our government form new governments, but stay United States of America.

Curious as to why americans view brothels or prostitution as negative

It does, but we'll see what happens

~~like the glory of Rome~~

@SantaSoc I think prostitution is a perversion of what should be an intimate human relationship

It’s literally the monetization of human intimacy

It’s fucked

Rome was technically a monarch with congress that aided that monarch.

But americans are rarely intimate as a culture

Are you saying negative for the individual, society, or why it should be unlawful?

No people voted the monarch into power.

Third

Because intimacy isn’t something you just hand out; doesn’t mean we don’t believe in it

Schedmyskin

Intimacy can be handed out

You do realize that prostitution is considered the oldest profession.

I'd say that it's fairly common for people these days to be in favor of legalizing prostitution in the US, but the people who are against it care far more than those in favor

Actually I think that’s a problem with our culture; we are too willing to throw around sex and marriage because it doesn’t mean anything anymore so we have all these family shattering discorces

I think it should be legalized, but regulated for everyone's safety.

@Dusty Morgan well slavery is one of the worlds oldest institutions as well

The "oldest profession" title has been used for all sorts of professions for a long time. It's a truism.

Doesn’t mean it’s right

Why not? People who are single and have no chance to ever get married.

Can seek comfort from prostitutes.

But slavery in the sense of servantry or forced unpaid labor?

And prostitutes are not forced, it is basically voluntary profession.

Prostitution is often the same whether regulated or no

Prostitutes actually built the wild west.

With the money they earned from the comfort men seek.

F ur adam ruins everything

Towns sprung up.
