I voted yes. I don't believe that legalizing prostitution in this country will have any effect on the number of rape incidents though.
I live in South Africa, so I know only too well the number and nature of sex crimes being committed. When you look at how many reports there of young girls - sometimes even toddlers
- being raped by their uncles, stepfathers and other men in their community, it makes it clear to me that in a lot of cases rape has got sweet buggerall to do with sex.
I'm really embarrassed at these South African government assholes who think they know what they're doing. So yeah, I agree with mixed in that it should be legalized but really heavily regulated and controlled. However, I don't think it'll work in this country. Too many 'young girls' are going to see the 2010 WC as an opportunity to make a quick buck and will be roaming the streets of all the cities in the hope of some cash. Not to mention what it'll do to our already out of control HIV/AIDS problem.
Is South Africa really the rape capital of the world? Wow.
