Gabeira is a guy with the realistic views. Unlike prists who think they are sanits, He sees, feels, and breaths like an average Joe. Realistically, The countries w/o legal prostitutions have serious issues with sexual assualt, rape and STD's. It is the God who created the men the way who they are. Many of the men need sex. At the same time, most of the men want do it legally. If prostitution is not legalized, it will promote rapes and many prostitutes will be exposed to the human trafficking and STD's. It may sound immoral to legalize the prostitution but prostitution will prevent human trafficking and protect people being exposed to STD's. Go Gabeira...
I bet if Americans could get a health care plan, a decent wage, and a pension plan, prostitution would take off like a rocket. It would be a good thing because you can't outsource prostitution. I would definitely buy stock in a prostitution company. That's "easy" money!
btw Miriam, please forgive my sin of omission, I was getting a little upset. God Bless you and yours. May God's Love, and Light, and Peace, and Beauty continue to be with you Always. That goes for you too Gabeira amen. Thank you Miriam. Thank you Gabeira.
Just a few comments that I hope are additive to your excellent post. In reference to children, Children are Children...they are to be protected period. Anyone violating a child should be eligible for societies most severe sanctions *if* psychological rehabilitation efforts are unsuccessful. Life in prison without the possibility for parole?
The Clergy? They need to extricate themselves from Politics and start serving God instead. Who in the hell do they think they are? What in the hell has gotten into them? Tell them I said they better not make me come down there.

Ask Gabeira to post on this site. He seems like a very interesting figure.
