spreads disease,

In case you haven't heard, we can make latex condoms that prevent the transmission of disease.

weakens the families,

Explain how it "weakens the family" please. Especially if both parties to the act are not even married to a separate third-party.

lowers community morality.

Define "community morality".

This is a bunch of conservative trash. Please defend your position without bringing your two-thousand year old mythology into it.

It can spread disease because condoms don't stop the spread of herpes, some men who hire hookers are married, and I would define morality as "not cheating on your wife with a hooker, getting herpes from said hooker, and later giving it to your wife."

The fact that you aren't aware that condoms aren't magic anti STD silver bullets makes me cringe.

Not to mention condoms can rip and you risk getting AIDS or anything else from having sex with a hooker.

I don't think casual sex is "immoral" per se, but it does weaken families when cheating is involved. For single men, hookers provide them an excuse to stay undesirable to women because they can pay for sex instead of improving themselves.

It can spread disease because condoms don't stop the spread of herpes,

Half-truth. Condoms do block herpes where the condom is properly applied. But I agree improperly applied or open sores that contact or come in close proximity may be able to spread.

And that is why condoms aren't the only preventative measure taken with legalized controlled prostitution. Legal brothels in Nevada take a number of precautionary measures to prevent the transmission of STDs: Regular medical exams, disinfecting before sex, the prostitute examining for open sores or signs of an STD, etc.

Even if it isn't 100% foolproof, this is a risk that the buyer assumes when they partake of the activity. Other dangerous activities that aren't illegal: sky-diving, bungee jumping, skiing, boxing, motorcycle racing, hang gliding. Isn't the conservative mantra all about "keep the government out of my business"?

For fuck's sake you can't even be assured of not getting sick from going to a restaurant. CDC claims 1 in 6 will get food poisoning every year, and how much of that occurs because people at at a restaurant. Do we need to outlaw the food service industry? OMG IT SPREADS DISEASE! Of course not, that's ridiculous. We take adequate precautions and have multiple levels of safety to minimize people getting sick.

And for that matter, if the transmission of disease is your concern then why not also ban any extra-marital sexual contact. Shit high schools have been found where a substantial number of students all had the same STD. Maybe we need to put all those kids in prison?

some men who hire hookers are married,

So what? Again, I thought the conservative/libertarian hated the government getting all up in their business. You're banning an activity for everyone because some people are being irresponsible? If some married men hire a prostitute, that is on their own conscience. As a single guy, I would like to be able to go to the local brothel, put on a condom, and fuck to my hearts delight in exchange for monetary compensation .

Some fat people eat fast food, so let's ban fast food? Some people have sworn off drinking, so let's ban alcohol? Some people gamble too much, maybe we need to ban gambling? And these are the obvious vices.

Don't ban an activity because some people are irresponsible.

Again, isn't the typical conservative rallying cry all about not treading on you? Small government YAY!

and I would define morality as "not cheating on your wife with a hooker, getting herpes from said hooker, and later giving it to your wife."

I would also define morality as not buying a gun and then shooting your wife. So I assume you are for a ban on gun ownership? If not explain how you reconcile allowing gun sales while banning prostitution when both can be used unethically by irresponsible people. Shit, maybe we need to also ban cars because some people who buy cars end up going out and drive recklessly or while under the influence.

The fact that you aren't aware that condoms aren't magic anti STD silver bullets makes me cringe.

The fact that you continue to make half-witted responses makes me cringe.
