Counterpoint - ban prostitution?

On one hand, it's easy to define what we're going to talk about today. On the other hand, surely thinking about all the implications might not be so easy. What would the world be like if prostitution were banned? What would change in the short or long term? \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- We only ask that you follow some basic rules of respect. We want to create a **genuine conversation** among everyone, where we listen to each other, interact, and engage with one another; an environment where all participants can speak (if you prefer to listen, that's fine too). To achieve this, our rules include **introducing ourselves upon arrival, not interrupting, not monopolizing the conversation, not constantly trying to shift the topic to what interests you, and making sure everyone can understand your message clearly**, etc. Basically, nothing unreasonable, but just in case, we'll ensure that **each table has a moderator**, a veteran member of the group, whose decisions must be respected. If you'd like more information, you can find it in the group description. You can also join our **Telegram group**, where our community is hosted and where we manage many things. To do so, follow this link: [https://t.me/+VN2V3ZCgp8d2MbmE](https://t.me/+VN2V3ZCgp8d2MbmE) We also recommend using Discord to inform us of anything, because the Meetup app doesn't work very well. A typical case is when you're new and can't find us. However, if you're going to arrive late, there's no need to notify. Simply, we'll assign you to the emptiest table, you'll introduce yourself, and we'll continue debating.
