Where it is legal, such as in the Netherlands, it is extremely well-managed without the huge problems faced in countries where it's illegal. As far as Germany, well, they're a little bit nuts on this one. There was this bizarre incident last year where a woman on the dole was told there was a job available as a prostitute. She refused to consider it and they cut off her welfare. I think it ended up going to court and it being written on the books that you couldn't be forced to prostitute yourself, but imagine that one, eh?

I tend to say legalize prostitution since it's never going to go away. It is, after all, the world's oldest profession.
