Sex seems to be the single most important subject to any person, next to violence. It’s on every teenage mind, every second of the day and consumes a better part of the conversation and gossip. It’s on our televisions, in our houses, in our magazines and in our nature. It’s everywhere and it’s not going away. So why is it we, as puritanical North Americans, continue to force hard working prostitutes out of work with our laws? I, for one, would like to see it legalized, along with murder and other acts of random and senseless violence. I’m going to start with the prostitutes. I think they are fantastic people, doing our country a great service. They’re keeping the rapist, sadists and other freaks off the streets and in the brothels. Can you honestly say you’d want these kinds of people doing that kind of stuff in your neighborhood? Hell no! And you think jails want these people? Not a chance; most of them haven’t even committed a crime. But, that’s just one service they provide. If it were legal, there would be fewer people depressed and committing suicide. It has been scientifically proven that sex is a natural stimulant and reduces stress. These people are already spending big wads of cash on drugs and therapy. I say take the naturopathic way, treat the whole person not the symptom; go have sex with a hooker. But there’s more, if it were legalized, we could impose schools and training so they’re no longer hookers but pro-active sex therapists. They could physically and manually teach people to have better sex. It would be a blessing for every teenage virgin out there. It would eliminate that feeling of inadequacy and bolster confidence and over-all happiness. It’s win – win! You get to relieve your pent up sexual frustration and get to learn a thing or two to please your current or next girlfriend/wife. Now, it’s not just in the best interest of the individual, I thought about the country and economy as well. If it were legalized, they could impose taxes, taxes the government gets to collect interest on. They could impose regular testing to prevent epidemics, they could keep track of sexual offenders and they’re would be fewer murders because prostitutes would no longer be anonymous women, but categorized and labeled workers of society. However, the cherry to this sundae of awesomeness would have to be the external commercial interest. Why else do you think so many people want to visit Thailand; the enriching culture? Don’t be so naïve; it’s the thousands upon thousands of readily available hookers. Now, I bet you’re curious to my motives for the legalization of murder and other acts of random and senseless violence. It’s pretty simple, you yourself know the answer to it, and you just haven’t accepted it yet. It’s an undisputed fact that violence is in our nature and is necessary to survive; even if you’re vegan. How can you prove plants aren’t cognizant? If you even try to answer that, you should have you’re brain forcibly removed through your rectum. We kill because it helps us survive, so naturally it would make sense that we would enjoy doing things that promote our survival; examples, being eating, sex, breathing, and my personal favorite, drinking. But that’s not all, it’s abundantly clear that we like violence by our daily lives. It is a known fact by news corporations that they get more viewers if they report human interest story as appose to the actual news. War, murder and thefts are by far the most common and the war right now is a blessing to them, reporting it every minute of the day. It’s because we find war very entertaining. Why else would we call it a “Theater of War”? Do you think it’s a euphemism or some deep psychological urge to compete and break stuff? Speaking of competing, there’s another example of human’s affinity for violence. Sports and athletes make millions and millions of dollars per year, just because people have this morbid anticipation to see injuries and the odd chance of death. To us it’s like winning the lottery. We keep spending and spending in hopes we get to see some young man get brutally maimed and see his career slide down the drain. It’s entertaining and we can’t get enough of it. So we are violent people, but unlike the fortunate individuals who are good at sports, the average man/woman doesn’t get the opportunity to express their primal urges to hurt, maim and kill. This is why I want it legalized, so you too can experience the awesome thrill of battle and the humbling experience of defeat. But, I don’t want it out of control. This would only be an annual thing, something like a celebration. There would be no guns, no weapons allowed and it would be held in a sanctioned area of the city for the sole purpose of this event. This means, the city can sell tickets to it, record it live for television for those who don’t want to participate, and they’re could be cash prizes for being the winner or surviving the longest. Yet again, another way the government and the cities could make more money if they just legalized something everybody likes to do. I bet if it were legalized, not even 3 years later it would become an Olympic event. Not only would these changes ultimately lower crime. But it would inspire more national pride, an acceptance of our animalistic heritage, more confidence for the individual and an overall increase in happiness for the majority of the population. There is the added bonus of lowering the county’s unemployment rate.
