**LHoD** ’s post has my agreement. Regardless of whether prostitution is immoral or not, if the majority supports one method of dealing with it then that method should be followed. The minorities with other viewpoints then have the job of convincing members of the majority to take up their position until _they_ are the majority. Not a perfect system, but it’s probably the best one, short of taking over the world yourself.

Also, i’d like to apologise to Bricker - in this thread and it’s pit thread, i’ve been somewhat snarky to him in my posts. My excuse is that i’m used to Bricker offering a decent, logical argument, and it seemed to me his initial OP and some posts after it were irrational - it was very surprising. It now seems he’s willing to concede points and agree with others - so sorry, mate. _nonexistant apologetic smiley_
