In Sweden, prostitution is not illegal, but being a pimp and frequenting a prostitute are illegal. Imagine the wonderful nature of your transaction of: "if you stiff me, I can call the cops, and they'll arrest you, and I walk away." Clients won't screw their prostitutes in this case. The same with pimps. "Go ahead, slap me... I'll call the cops, and they'll haul you away, and I can admit openly that I'm a prostitute, and I won't get taken away."

How about making prostitution a SAFE profession, rather than demanding it be illegal to stop people from doing it? If you're concerned about their health from the sex alone, either physical and/or mental, then when shall we expect an intent to make promiscuity itself illegal?

reminds me of a documentary where a camera crew was tagging along to an early morning bust of illegal (Mexican) workers at a few plants in California; targeting 'the worker' (instead of the corporations) seemed a clear proponent to imposing and sustaining horrible working (and even living) conditions onto the workforce

Notice how *some* people will get utterly smashed when attending an event with an open bar? They're quite eager to consume far more than they might usually have...

I still don't see how that could possibly represent a tangible "market" with any credibility. However many servings were had (for free) has no relevance to sales you could've had on a normal night.

So sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I was just mildly amused at your use of the verb "backup", rather than the expression "back up". One being "making a safe copy of" and the other "putting your sources where your mouth is".

no worries; not even sure it's funny enough to mention.
