I meant to cover prostitution too but forgot... Prostitution is never going to go away. It's been around since Biblical times. I agree that with legalising it and regulating the working girls, it would be better for everyone involved. That way, they could be monitored health-wise, provided with birth control and contraceptives, and generally it would be a much cleaner environment.

In Bangkok, even tho it's not legal, all the prostitutes get tested constantly. That, in itself, is a good thing, however the way they deal with the positive women isn't. Most of the time they get chucked out into the street or sent back to the parents who sold them into it in the first place. They then become prostitutes in the village, and end up spreading disease. If it were regulated better, it's a good idea in theory and one that we should look to snatching up and using to set an example.
