It is legal in Denmark, although there is talk about criminalizing the customers. Experience from Sweden where this has been done suggests, however, that this marginalizes victims of prostitution/trafficking further. A better suggestion that has recently been fielded is to have a "prostitution license". The idea is that every person who wishes to earn a living in this metier must be officially licensed. At the same time it becomes a crime to visit a non-licensed prostitute. You have an obligation to check that she has a license just as you have to know she is old enough. As a matter of personal freedom I cannot see how one can argue that prostitution should be illegal. You own your body and if you see fit to rent it to others, this is your right. In face of the human suffering I do see the point, though, that enforcing a licensing policy would help those who don't wish to be prostitutes as well as provide targeted treatment for those plying the trade quite voluntarily. It is my guess that they have other needs than the rest of us. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Noone ever said that a representative democracy is perfect. In the long run it is (probably) just the least bad way of doing things. In order for it to work, though, a certain openness wrt to decision making needs to be present for you as a voter to properly evaluate those who have had their shot (i.e. those in office). That openness is blatantly not present right now. I guess what I'm saying is that you'll never have a clear answer as to whether you as a people have made the wrong or the right choice.

Last weekend: A C-206 load of jumpers going up. We passed through a thin layer of clouds around 6k, but could most of the time see a little through them. Little did we know that shortly before exit a heavy layer of low clouds as well as a lot of wind had moved in below the layer we could see... I didn't feel too proud of myself spiraling down inside a cloud @ 2k. Especially since we had a student on that load. Everyone made it safely to the ground, though.

My own opinion is that her right nipple is simply too high up relative to the rounding of the boobie. It is not a lot, but I think that those boobies are someone's handiwork. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Hmm... I really can't make my mind up about these. Are they real or fake? Does it matter? Edit: OK, I thought it would be obvious from the context, but... NSFW.

Exactly. I spent the entire movie thinking "OMG! He can't... he won't... You can't do that!!!". I do think, however, that he is to some degree trying to make a commentary through satire.
