Note/Warning: Prostitution is a sensitive subject for most. This debate is not meant to offend anyone in anyway. If you, for whatever reason feel offended, please don't read any further, or PM me.
Brothels:
In Canada, both Brothels and Prostitution are legal, except for the fact that there are so many limitations that Prostitutions outside of a brothel is considered a criminal offense.
Many argue that Prostitution, in general should be completely illegal and that they shouldnt legalize brothels.
Argument against:
Legalizing Brothels was the best thing the government has done. Before Brothels, prostitutes were a walking, breathing disease. Most prostitutes, if not killed from STDs, were murderered by their pimps, or/and costumers if you will, after they were done with their activities for the night. They had no law protecting them, nor did they have the money for medical bills, as most "costumers" wouldn't pay them a dime, or pay them only half the price, if not less.
If the government were to prohibit prostitution, it's not like it would actually stop people from doing it, so might as well legalize brothels, so they can do it safely in a way, and profit from it. Prohibiting it wouldn't be a very good idea, since drugs are illegal, but people still do it everywhere, and look at what it does to them. When limitations are put on human beings, they tend to do the opposite in order to feel like they've "accomplished" something.
And so, Brothels should not be illegal as it is a safer way for Prostitutes to do their "job", without spreading disease or getting killed, even though I'm against prostitution in general...

What do you think about Prostitution/Brothels? Should the government prohibit them, and why?
