And there was me thinking it was because they couldn't get real women because they were short,fat and ugly!!

By:
Most women who want prostitution banned are fat and/or ugly so they shouldn't really be getting involved imo
Walk in, pay some cash, do whatever you want with a hot 20-30 year for an hour, walk out. Why would anyone visit a prostitute SMH |

Re OP - of course not. We're in 2015 not the age of the puritans.
It's none of the state's business what two consenting adults do being closed doors. People traffickers etc, that's an absolutely completely different thing, throw the book at them. Unforunately leftie feminists try and merge the two things, which is extremely dishonest. But that's par for the course with people like that. |

Only real men go with prostitutes. Crippen  |

I cannot see the bit where he says HE has been with one, could you point it out for me.
|
|
By:
Why would he say that he has been with one?
He denied saying that real men go with prostitutes. Do you expect him to admit to using a prostitute? |

In response to the original post last week N.Ireland became the first region in the uk to pass legislation making it a criminal offence to buy sex. It follows the Swedish model and comes into affect next January.

In response to the original post last week N.Ireland became the first region in the uk to pass legislation making it a criminal offence to buy sex. It follows the Swedish model and comes into affect next January I thought it was a criminal offence in the UK already. Sure I've seen the cops on tv arresting people on some of the reality shows. Am I wrong? |

In Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), prostitution itself (the exchange of sexual services for money) is legal,[2] but a number of related activities, including soliciting in a public place, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, pimping and pandering, are crimes. In Northern Ireland, which previously had similar laws, paying for sex was criminalised in January 2015.[3]

The law in n.ireland will make it a criminal offence for the buyer but not the seller unless its more than 2 people operating in the same premises when it would also be a crime.

I get the difference now.
|
|
By:
The problem seems to be that that the earnings are undeclared, and therefore not subject to income tax AND each transaction should be levied at 20% VAT.

By:
If men want to pay for sex and women want to sell it...it is a business not a crime
To make it a crime shows how much the West id dominated by women, or does the West want everybody in our societies to become homosexual I think we do |

The law in n.ireland will make it a criminal offence for the buyer but not the seller unless its more than 2 people operating in the same premises when it would also be a crime. That is a gender bias towards women in the justice system....the law for buyer and seller must be exactly the same or we do not have justice |

I personally see no harm in two people engaging in private sex provided the seller is exercising their own free will. From what I understand the view of n.ireland politicians was that they did not wish to criminalise individual women when it comes to prostitution. I would agree with that part to make a distinction between the buyer and seller once they had made their decision to widen the criminalisation in this area. Interestingly, some prostitutes have said they will take legal action to try to overturn this legislation.

He denied saying . Do you expect him to admit to using a prostitute? Liar again Gabriliar,, I didn't deny saying that real men go with prostitutes. Good to see that I've still got you nicely on the hook though Gabriliar. You see you talked about the prostitutes I went with. I denied saying that I ever went with a prostitute. And the evidence is above. |

By:
You seem worried that you have outed yourself on a public forum Crippen.
Listen,it`s ok. Men like yourself use prostitutes for many reasons, you are bound to deny using one aren`t you? Not all of us can be successful with the opposite sex and i will go as far as saying that if i was in your shoes i would pay for sex. Don`t be ashamed Crippen, you can`t change your genetics. However, work on your personality and you might just ha e more success, even at your age. |

but the earnings are included in our gdp these days - aren't they?

you said they were his prostitutes so is he a user or their pimp?

By:
Gabriliar is clearly a compulsive liar with a vivid imagination.
He's been stalking me for months and has now resorted to telling porkies about me. He bumped this thread back up in order to have another go at me. His continued attacking speaks for itself. Pity his kind. |

Well, as an outside observer, I would say that everything DOES seem to be becoming rather childish. I still haven't figured out why you don't call each by their 'proper' names. It gets darned difficult when you all start using your pet love/hate names for each other. The same applies to the 'celebrities' that you all love to hate.
Just call things and people by the proper name. It saves descending into insult and everybody then knows who or what is being discussed. |

How can this new law in Ireland be enforced.Surely the police would have to see money handed over, and sex taking place ? Will they have hidden cameras inside prostitutes pemises ?

Just call things and people by the proper name. It saves descending into insult and everybody then knows who or what is being discussed. Trolls don't work like that. They are the first to change names as they think it's funny/witty. Hence: Crippen becomes Crappen. I wonder how long that one took to think up? spellingandgrammarchecker became smellinggrandmalicker Such literary genius in our midst. It wasn't easy for the 'newcomer' to the politics forum though, 'anxious' aka northernlad. He admitted about 18 months ago that he's dyslexic, making my name far too long for him to attempt any puns with, so he settled for 'cantspell' - such wit...and no apostrophe either. |

_____________ it's short fat ,ugly blokes who get all the nice women  women seemed so frightened of good looking men - that ,or they don't like competition in the looks dept (which is understandable) |

No point in them looking on here then, as everybody's handsome, fit, rich, successful...etc |

Just look at that post from Gabriliar above again.
The berk can't help himself. I'm beginning to believe he simply hates everyone he comes into contact with. |
