US has tried something like this before

Prohibiting alcohol which is a cancer to the society

However it did not went well

People just could not stop drinking so they keep breaking the law

So in the end experiment has to stop

The mind is strong, but the body is weak

Stricter regulations instead of a ban may be the answer but i dunno

to be more accurate, it's the "appeal to antiquity/common practice" fallacy (argumentum ad antiquitatem)

How do you know these people don't go outside Mecca, fuck some prostitute, then come back?

You can't take some sections of a country, and then says its works for a whole country. Imagine some vegan nut says its possible to go vegan, then show some temple/village somewhere in the world where whole population is vegan and say its possible.
US is not shining example on anything la. Don't use US as an example la. They can't even enforce their gun laws properly, something they are so vocal about.

I think the point he is trying to make is that its impossible to get rid of prostitution, and the "oldest profession in the world" is his proof of it. He wasn't arguing "its the oldest, so it should be legal"
Drugs are inherently harmful. But safe sex isn't. If prostitute and buyer is willing and is doing safe sex, who are you to stop them?
Thus proper enforcement is the key here. Like Malaysia, lots of thing illegal, but no enforcement. Like lots of construction and plantation company uses illegal labour workers. So how? Ban construction and plantation companies?
No billionaire farmer, no billionaire fisherman, no billionaire taxi driver, no billionaire teacher, etc etc etc.
If society as a whole can help this desperate, gullible, naive girls to get better job, all the better for that society. But that goes to show, it starts by education/welfare/helping these girl, not by banning it. You can ban drugs, but there is still drug buyer and drug sellers.

Coup de Grace already provided you a link to the benefits of legalized prostitution. Where's your evidence to substantiate your claims, or are you just depending on emotional rhetoric ?

Sukahati la ko bro la nak panggil dupe.
