This started today in texas. This is the first state to make paying for sex a felony. Probably covers sex found on the street, websites and massage parlors. What are your thoughts on this?

 
A woman should be able to sell her body legally if she wants to IMO.  People are going to do it either way and it just fills up our jails and gives people a record for something that should be legal. 

 
I do agree. Texas does have a lot of sex trafficking. But there are also a lot of freelance workers. I do think it will cause a lot of financial problems for the workers. And also give a lot of regular people bad criminal records. It's like a 50/50 on this one. 

 
@Drunkensmurf Just think about a sex worker that decides to try and get out of the life. How is she going to get a good paying job with a bunch of sex charges on her record. How embarrassing that has to be to try and explain that away in an interview. And I also find it stupid that prostitution is illegal, but porn is just fine and really the only difference is one is recorded. The porn stars are getting paid for sex too. LOL

 
Here in Nevada we support the vices. Seems better to have legal brothels that are paying taxes and have some protections for workers and customers.

It doesn't completely irradicate the illegal prostitution, but I think it helps. This seems like a better way for the government to make money off of the world's oldest profession. Sending it further underground makes it more dangerous for all involved. 

 
@2earls you are right about legalizing it. More tax money and it could reduce some dangerous situations. hopefully texas will find out soon they are going in the wrong direction. I personally dont pick up workers or use the websites like backpage. But I have visited some massage parlors a few times. I would hate for that to disappear.

 
I agree with the consensus. The more underground the more dangerous. Also not to bring up a hot button but Texas has also authorized a one 800 number so you can report people that might be considering an abortion. No matter your thoughts on the subject just ponder that for a minute and think of the many places it could lead. I think Texas is trying to lead the way on conservative ism however true conservatives believe in less government not less freedom.

 
@Deepnorth I agree with your statement as I don't think you can preach "freedom", but only when it applies to what suits your personal beliefs. The very idea of an 800 number to rat on women who may be considering abortion kind of makes my blood boil. If people didn't feel the need to shove their beliefs down everyone else's throat maybe we could all get along whether we disagree or not.

 
I did read that about abortions. It's crazy that a state would make that illegal, but they also just approved that anyone that owns a handgun can have open carry. I had to take a long course and prove I was able to use the gun safely before I was able to have a concealed license. Who is really making these changes?

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
