Just a few points:
1. Appy, you talk of civilization. Ancient India is supposed to have been a highly developed and extremely civilized society where women were given tremendous respect.......then howcome prostitution existed even then? The point I am making is not about our families participating in it.....what I am saying is that any sensible person will realize that prostitution will continue regardless of any law against it.....so it's better to have a regulation on it rather than allow it to be the way it is today.....a source of hafta for cops and the cause of an AIDS epidemic....
2. Someone took up my point of people making out in public....please don't be so damn literal.....no1 would have sex in public (tho I am still not against it

), but I want to ask you, have'nt you seen people kiss? Is that wrong? Is it a "vice" to kiss? A crime? Even further, would you bribe a couple to go to a hotel even if they were just walking with their arms entwined? Is that expression of emotion also denied? And right now, even just being there is a crime!!!!!! What to mention these things....
3. DG, liked your points about the crackers and the namaaz....
4. As for pleasing the moral brigade, well, I don't know....personally I think it's all about increasing their income from hafta and getting more power for themselves by having laws that literally make them unopposable.....
Cheers!

PS: The latest is that the girls who worked in dance bars are now forming groups of 5-10 and working out of rented homes......with "madams" co-ordinating.......do Appy and co. want to debate on whether this is better? Don't you think this will cause
more exploitation???
