Well, it is now clear why we (america) won't have an adult conversation about prostitution. There is too much money to be made keeping it underground.

There are many problems that need to be corrected.

1. Highschools should teach kids the skills needed in jobs. When they get out, they should be employable. Most kids can't even read, and need further training to accomplish menial jobs. If govern-cement schools can't do this, then they should be abolished and a set of apprenticeship programs put into its place.

2. Prostitution needs to be made legal. I don't care how much feminists complain (or complain the other way) it is the oldest profession for a reason. And places that provide adequate protection and medical services should be the minimum. But, we can't provide that now, because to do so is to admit to being a criminal.

3. Marriage laws need to be revamped. Right now there is no legal reason a man should ever get married. For a man, it is all liabilities and no benefits. Even if he wants to have kids. It is true, a married man has less rights to see his children then he does if there was no marriage. Marriage laws need to have many legal protections for men, but this would bring up something that is even more of a third rail than prostitution.

4. We should have a room for every person in the country. If you have no where else to go, you have a room that will keep you dry and warm. We could build everyone a room for a fraction of what we spend per year on section 8.

But, none of these are talked about, because there is money to be made on the other side.
