Sa'Diablo chuckled to himself. "Yes, true, the Stranger's Bar is a bastion of complaints and ill-wishing...but I meant to point out that the drafter was in the bar complaining instead of defending this poorly thought-out drivel. He was in the bar well after he read the list of complaints. He even commented on it, before ignoring the list and hitting the barstools."

"Ignoring truths that make one uncomfortable? Why I cannot imagine. Personally I am amazed he has gone on for as long as he has. He has been losing this debate since before his first submittal."

"I think he keeps looking at the poll and keeps seeing that there are supporters to his cause......even though the ones that have spoken are not even affiliated with the World Assembly let alone the General Assembly." Wech said.

Rereads the notes.

"OH wait at the beginning there were WA members supporting it but now...im not so sure." Wech said.

Sorry to pop your bubble, but there isn't such a thing as excessive sex.

Yes, there is: the desperation for money will mean that the poor will be forced into having sex many times a day. Total legalisation of prostitution is not going to help the economy, but it is going to turn what is supposed to be recreational into a paradise for organized crime. Why? Because organised criminals use the sex industry to prey on potential victims and abuse the trust of them.

Prostitution leads to an increase in crime. That makes perfect sense. There are even sources to prove it...

Weren't they? I could have sworn there were.

Anyways, you fail to address those arguments, then.

For example, how prostitution assists sex trafficking? In many nations, to allow prostitution cripples the police's efforts to stop sex trafficking and other criminal acts. You failed to address that entirely.

I need a source for that? Prostitution often happens in areas where other crimes are happening. As Ms. Harper outlines on page 25, I believe, sex trafficking groups can easily hide behind legal prostitution to continue their trade. To fight that, many nations believe that the only way to stop this would be to ban prostitution.

Really, why are you so concerned with forcing your own ideals on everybody else?

I would request that you resubmit them for the benefit of the author?

If you are aware then they cannot really hide, now can they?
Okay, if we legalize prostitution then it will help lower it. This is because now it is legal prostitutes can tell the authorities about these illegal affair without fear of being arrested. I imagine that many would stay quite for sake of their well being.

Then how's this for advice, focus your proposal writing efforts on something that actually has more than a snowball's chance in hell of passing. Think about it, when you've got this many people arguing against you during the drafting, you're going to have even more arguing against this should this proposal ever come up for vote.

No it wont. Being aware that it occurs doesn't mean we know exactly where and who causes it to happen...thats a serious failure of logic.

And if we legalize it, all that happens is that the traffickers can hide behind the profession of prostitution much more easily. These arguments have already been brought up...

It's your responsibility to find out where they are taking place since you are completely aware. As I stated before (regarding your second statement) "This is because now it is legal prostitutes can tell the authorities about these illegal affair without fear of being arrested their self. I imagine that many would stay quite for sake of their well being."
