These people can do whatever sick twisted things they want to do and live out their horny little fantasies. All I ask is that they stay the hell away from my family and myself.

I do not think that everyone who goes to a prostitute does sick and twisted things to live out their horny little fantasies. From your post, I gather you have a lot of disdain for people who engage in prostitution. Obviously, you view sex in a much different way then they do. This does not make either of you wrong, however, as that seems to just be a matter of perspective/opinion. The reason that you have your opinion may be suspect. You may wish to carefully analyze why this is.

I hope I don't offend anyone, especially those that partake in paid sexual acts with other people. I feel that what they are doing is morally wrong. Don't they care about diseases and the crime that can most definitely come from having pimp daddies and the like?

You see what they do as morally wrong. You don't offer a whole lot of explanation as to why you see it that way, unless that's what the third sentance is about. But I fail to see how diseases and morality relate. Nor do I see how the law and morality relate, besides that the law is generally instituted in order to create a more moral society. Crime, in itself, is not immoral. And as for any negative moral implications of pimp daddies, they are not necessary, I should think, especially with legalized prostitution. If necessary, THEY could be outlawed. Still, I see no reason to outlaw prostitution.

Maybe it's a great way to get paid a shitload of cash real fast but why would someone sell their body out like that when they could easily find someone who will treat their body with respect as they should be doing.

It certainly seems that it is mainly desparate women who are engaging in the selling side of prostitution, but it is their choice. I do not think they get paid a shitload of cash real fast, because if they did, and if it was as truly despicable as you portray it, I should think that all the women would quit pretty fast and go get more enjoyable jobs. But what if the women enjoy sex, and prostitution (hypothetically). Is it wrong to get paid to do something you enjoy? Perhaps they would rather have money than respect. Perhaps they don't value respect. Perhaps they don't see it as selling their body, but simply as a service industry that they have no objections to working in.

One night of passion with some sleeze that turns you out is not worth risking your health, morals, self image, or life for.

Well, I think the health and life risking could be eliminated with proper govermental controls, certification, and legalization. As for morals, I still don't see the moral base for making prostitution illegal. Self image sounds like more of a personal problem to me, and I think that if prostitution affects your self image, that is your business.
Counter arguments welcome.
