  1. I'm disgusted, the world is disgusting! This kicks opens the door to child s#x trafficking and human trafficking.

  2. A commentator said “addiction disorders begin in childhood.” There is growing evidence that suggests that Substance Abuse Disorders have a genetic link, and that those that suffer with SAD, and other addictive issues, have structural differences with their brain, and neurochemical receptors.

  3. This is why I love Maine!!!!! We need to team up Juliette!! Let’s take this state over!

  4. Since there are way more fatalities and injuries in construction work why is it not a crime to hire construction workers?

  5. Look if these nasty people want prostitution then make it legal and tax the crap out of it. You can’t stop it even with all these laws saying it’s illegal. Maybe with it being open to the nasty ones whom are okay with it and tracked it’s easier to make sure innocent people aren’t being forced into being trafficked.

  6. Legalize it and watch the divorce rate go up

  7. Nobody is paying this lady 4 to 5 thousand dollars.

  8. STOP treating women like children. If they are an adult and chose to do this they should receive the same punishment or lack there of that men recieve

  9. Not too many can spend 4k for that😂

  10. This story is very biased…
    and not told very well
    Why wasn't Nevada shown in this story where it's legal or the rest of the world where they have legal areas for this

  11. Men are the worlds problems!!!

  12. Its expensive because its illegal. If you legalize it then it be a market price and the price would go down

  13. This is all just part of the plan. Next thing you'll hear is their giving migrants voting and working rights.

  14. So, having a "sugar daddy" and "sugar baby", Gold Diggers is totally legal in all fifty states, but THIS is what you make illegal. If they want human trafficking to stop, then should get all parties involved, sellers and buyers on board instead villianize and crimilizing then. This is a symptom not the root cause. Nobody wants to talk about that

  15. At 7:20 the woman is spouting nonsense about inequality between the 2 contracting parties. But that's true even when a person buys a pizza pie. The customer has the hunger, the money, and the power to select which pizzeria to buy from.

  16. Amsterdam have been doing for long time without issue

  17. I honestly believe our Government is trying to figure out how they can benefit from Legalizing Prostitution !!!

  18. It MUST be decriminalize!!!!! Many are going to be exposed as clients or worse!!! Easier to get away with not answering uncomfortable questions.

  19. western laws is definitely not fair & NEVER fair for MEN , 🤡

  20. And she need that $5000 dollars😅 A sucker born every day.

  21. It’s easy to make a child, but difficult to raise them properly. Don’t have kids you can’t afford.

  22. The United Nations is the largest human trafficking organization in the world.

  23. Of all the other things we have to worry about as a country… People are focusing on this???

  24. The hookers wanting it to be legal are delusional. Most of them are only making it because their better looking competitors are afraid of going to jail. Full legalization == y'all mids at best would never get >$100/hr ever again. 😂

  25. Prostitution is legal all over Europe , it's taxed & regulated. Europe also has less rapes, murders , serial killers & over all less crime when compared to the United States.

  26. For the sake of this country it has to be illegal. If it’s fully legal no one would talk to women anymore

  27. She's worth $5k? That dude was charged x100 😅

  28. Making it legal reduces a lot of women to just their bodies.
