Are you certain of your position?
[QUOTE=CheckMate1;2841327]By his (crow) research, all red states are pro sex workers and all blue states are not. It's not blue or red, commies or capitalists, religious zealots or heatheans. All participates, none will admit to it. We (All of ISG) do not engage in communicating with the vast majority of the population of earth that believes this is a taboo, and it's a discomforting subject matter. [b]We are a minority. We believe that prostitution should be legal and safe, for us and "workers".[/b]
[/QUOTE]Tell me more about my lack of self awareness please.

Well thank God 99% of the planet disagrees with you
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2841995]LOL. Yep, "imaginary" is the proper word and characterization of your side's sucker issues. Your post above being Exhibit A.
Sorry; gays will marry, sex change operations will occur, abortions will eventually be available, trannies will find stalls to pee in, random pronouns will abound, etc, etc, etc even if Repubs install 270 rabid Trumpsters in the Electoral College and with a bit of tweaking here and there ensure Donald Trump or any one of his Repub wannabes are appointed so-called president in every presidential election into infinity even if the Dems consistently win 90% of the actual vote.
Of course, the USA economy will crash into total shit, unemployment rates will skyrocket into double digits and remain there for the duration and effective national security will fade into non existence. But those sucker social issues will find their way into modern culture anyway regardless.[/QUOTE]I noticed how you didn't bother to address my example, but you can try and minimize life and death issues for Americans, and say they don't matter.
While you haven't been in the USA in over a decade and have no plans of ever returning.
I will say your opinion has less than ZERO value on the topic of social issues or anything else that happens in the USA.
If I made the rules if you're an expat that doesn't step a single foot in the USA for over 24 months, you lose your right to even vote, and after 10 yrs you lose citizenship!!
GTFO and stay the fuck out.
Do you want to make me 3/5 of a person also?

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. You are subject to tax on worldwide income from all sources and must report all taxable income and pay taxes according to the Internal Revenue Code.
No taxation without representation. That is a founding principle of the constitution. Good luck on changing that King MarquisdeSade. LOL! Every expat across the world retains their right to vote and petition their government for the regress of their grievances. I hope you enjoy living off my tax money. ROTFLMAO!
All your points are valid, but I don't agree. I think their are levels to it!
[QUOTE=CheckMate1;2842295]However, I still maintain that the majority of the world is anti prostitution, or at the very least frown upon it. I am surprise that the article respondents gave it a 52% decriminialization stance, with a 3. 8% on the poll. At the end of the article, the respondents position is 49% to discontinue the practice of vice policing, so I'm not convinced that people are in favor prostitution overall.[/QUOTE]My post simply addressed the (Dis) United States of America. But you clearly state "[I]the majority of the world is anti-prostitution[/I]". In order to look at the issue properly we have to examine two different points: 1. Legality 2. Social approval. In the DISUSA we clearly don't have legal approval with only one state in the DISUSA allowing prostitution on a legal basis in some countries. And I would agree with you that socially it is not approved.

If you want to address the world issue I personally do not believe this forum to do this. There is a forum called [B]The Morality of Prostitution[/B] where we can discuss this further if you would like. But as a brief primer I submit the following article:

DeSantis wants to do for America what Trump did for the world
Trump pulled the Pandemic Prevention and Response team monitors out of those Chinese labs, apparently in order to stroke Xi's ego and cock during his failed trade negotiations, thereby ensuring any serious viral outbreak due to any reason could develop into a Pandemic.
Now Classic Repub Trump wannabe Ron DeSantis is applying those same Classic Repub national security and economic stewardship tactics to laying the foundation for the development of a Malaria and Leprosy Epidemic in Florida and, if all goes well according to Classic Repub plan, across America:

[QUOTE] It comes after DeSantis' administration was subject to criticism from medical professionals for leaving two key positions in the Florida Department of Health's Bureau of Epidemiology vacant amid a growing number of malaria cases. The bureau is tasked with monitoring communicable illnesses.[/QUOTE]Rumor has it Trump has contacted DeSantis to offer pointers on how to lie about the conditions, risks, mock any known mitigation measures and lampoon any consideration of inventing or taking a vaccine or cure for the spreading Florida diseases for at least the first critical year so as to make certain they develop into a worldwide economy-destroying Pandemic.
Thanks a million or 10 million Joe

Oh, but he's smart. Oh, but he reads books. Oh, but he's articulate. Oh, but he's not violent. LOL, if anything, he's more dangerous than Drumpf exactly because he's smart, articulate and reads books -- yet every bit as unscrupulous, demagogical, lying piece of shit as his former mentor.
