Description

Disclaimer : Regardless of the setup for voting win or lose, The aim of this interaction, Is for those that view it, Learn and or take away anything that will amount to any constructive value ultimately. So that counts as anything that'll cause one to reconsider an idea, Understand a subject better, Help build a greater wealth of knowledge getting closer to truth. When either of us has accomplished that with any individual here, That's who the victor of the debate becomes.

So the technicality here as I understand it, The loophole is in the work or activity with pornography in that under the law, It's classified as an artistic platform. So this means folks are being paid directly for participating in a movie containing actual sexual activity. The sexual activity is being indirectly paid for. That's the technicality, Makes it legal. Prostitution is just the opposite.

So dealing with adult film entertainment and the use of brothels, What do I say?
I would argue that both of these things amount to the same bottom line. Many pornographic films don't necessarily have much of a story behind them. Take a camera along with some flimsy script, Down to such and such avenue, Call that hooker over.
Between these two things, The lines are blurred, Not much of a difference.

Like marijuana having it's loophole for legality, The same with P. And P.

The law should have discernment of the end result in everything. It's understood that it does not so people fight for "reach-arounds" to get protection for things they know are not sanctioned if they can't get a way around the system. Simply undermine in every which a way.
So P. And P. Should stand on the same side of the law. At the end of it, It's about nobody getting hurt, Either way.

Reason:

Pro did well in showing that on the surface they indeed have similarities, in that they both involve money and sex. Con on the other hand contrasted them to show they are more dissimilar in that one is the taxed production of goods and the other an unregulated service, which pro dropped. Pro instead got caught up in how con could dislike the goods one more than the service, which missed the point of ways they were more different than alike.

The pro case could have been greatly strengthened with focus on the exploitation angle.
The con case could have been greatly strengthened with focus on the legal battles or on the slippery slope of saying they are alike risks saying anything that is alike one is like the other, such as painters.

Conduct for forfeiture.
