Yes, your analysis of the Sweden prostitution situation was quite brilliant. Even the link you posted supporting your argument had the countries police chief saying on record it was a complete failure.
An expert at work if I have ever seen it.
I think we are in 10 GOTO 10 here so perhaps we should just retire to our Phd Papers.
Sorry for bringing this old post back into life, but i was wondering,
i kerb walking leagel in Zürich ?
I live in a very decent Area in Kreis 2 and it botheres me that this same old woman stands at the street corner every night and was wondering if there is anything i could do against it.
Curb walking? Is that British for street hooking? If so, it's legal in defined areas, as mentioned in this thread (though I can see where it'd be hard to wade through the children's pissing contest on the last page or two to find it).
The only other thing I could imagine you mean - sorry, I'm American - is loitering, and that doesn't quite seem enough to get your back up.
Theoretically, killing off the supply may eventually kill of the demand for alcoholic beverages. There is no biological imperative driving people to drink alcohol and those who have never drunk alcohol don't know what they are missing. This is NOT true with sex. Do you really think making prostitution illegal will dry up the demand for sex which fuels prostitution?
Not at all and thats not what im trying to do, all i want is for them to stick to Langstrasse and those sort of Areas, i guess its the same idea as to have a garbage dump in middle of Bahnhofstrasse...
Really garbage?? Why dont you run for the Geminde Rat - Municipality board, then you can make sure the garbage stays where it should, or else move.
Prositutes are humans, they were or are someone's daughter, and could be someone's mother. I cannot imagine that anybody would become a prositute because she is following her chldhood dream.
Sorry, but "old" woman?? Prostitute is not the first thing that would spring to my mind if I saw an elderly lady standing alone on a street corner. I think my first thought would be "lost" then "nursing home" but maybe I'm just weird.
Im SOORRRYYY didnt at all mean it like that, i just think that it should have its place, and meant certain things just dont fit in in certain areas !
I would never judge a prostitute because none of us know where what how when her circumstances are..
But i do think its not something i necessarily prefer outside my apartment block
every night, and i think i just about would notice the dif. between an elderly lady lost at 10 pm on the road corner and a women dressed in fish nets wearing near to nothing roaming round the corner for hours approaching every male walking by and and and...
