Sawzaw, you are being a silly man... ;-) Get serious.

Number one: I am not a representative of the Canadian government. The Canadian government has NOT legalized marijuana and our police are also stupidly wasting their time persecuting users here.

Number two: I speak for ME, not for my government. My opinions are MINE, not Canada's.

Rethink the whole thing, okay? You are talking to an individual here, not a nation.

Regarding prositution, it is indeed a far better idea to legalize and regulate prostitution than to keep it illegal. That has been done in Nevada and in Holland (but not in Canada) and that legalization has resulted in far less crime in regards to prostitution and far safer working conditions for the prostitutes. It has also resulted in far better medical protection for the prostitutes. It has not benefited the pimps. You cannot eliminate prostitution by bringing in laws, it will always be with us, but you can greatly improve the situation by legalizing and regulating it to protect the workers.


The real crux of this matter, Sawzaw, is that you want to force other people to live the way you choose to live...to live by your ideas of what's moral and what isn't. You wouldn't like it if someone tried to force you to live their way, but you want to force them to live your way. That's not freedom, pal, that's a dictatorship according to YOUR personal tastes and your desires.

I don't smoke marijuana. I don't want to. But I will not interfere with another person's freedom to do it if they like to. It doesn't hurt anyone else if they do! And I don't want to hire a prostitute. I don't need that. But if another person wants to hire a prostitute, I will not interfer with his freedom to do that or her freedom to do that work either. It doesn't hurt anyone else if they do!

Things that don't hurt anyone else and that are done by the free choice of the adult person involved are NOT crimes. They are lifestyle choices. No person has a right to force others to adopt his lifestyle choices....nor to restrict others from adopting their lifestyle choices.

It is only fear that motivates you to control others, Sawzaw, and it's an irrational fear....either that or it's just self-righteousness.

I refer you to your Bible...Love casts out fear. And self-righteousness is a sin. Jesus showed no prejudice against prostitutes. Neither should you.
