The cost of ITER's operations phase, another 5 billion over 20 years, may also rise.
I love the irony in the implication that you consider it perfectly acceptable to physically abuse somebody to force upon them your own completely irrational interpretation of "morality".
See, my definition of "moral" behavior includes not beating on somebody smaller than you for no good reason. But that's just me.
I'll have to respectfully disagree with you then. There is nothing wrong with swift, corporal punishment. "Abuse" is hardly the word for it. But then again, I am not a social worker, or nanny shrink, and my conservative viewpoints don't follow slashdot's typically liberal stances. My apologies.
Yeah, no one is really being hurt by this.
Heck, if prostitution moves entirely online, it'll be a good thing. The "bad image" caused by streetwalkers and such will go away, since the actual "marketing" of services happens invisibly online, and those involved can meet up in private.
It'll make law enforcement easier. It's far easier to track someone online that in real life, at least in the US it is.
