The Case for Legalized Prostitution
Last week, this dude, George Sodini, went apeshit in a Pittsburgh LA Fitness health club and shot up the joint, killing 3 women before murking himself. News of his blog rantings about his problems and planned “shoot ‘em up” spread like crazy on the internets and old media systems. The running theory is that he’s a little crazy and was pissed at women for not giving him any ass. I’m thinking the problem was that he was just plain batshit, but let’s run with the no sex angle.
So the dude was 48 and he says that he hadn’t had a girlfriend since 1984 and he’d had no sex since 1990. A little perspective, in 1984: Ronald Reagan was re-elected to a 2nd term. Prince’s Purple Rain dropped. Eddie Murphy’s last episode on Saturday Night Live aired. Run DMC’s self-titled debut album dropped. UTFO’s “Roxanne Roxanne” dropped. Ghostbusters was the shit. You only heard rap music on NY Radio 3 nights a week. If you were born in 1984, chances are you’ve gone through mad relationships and you might even be wifed up with kids. Why? I don’t know…but shit happens.
Some more perspective. In 1990, Bush I was halfway through his first and only term. Ice Cube’s “Amerikkka’s Most Wanted” dropped. Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Planet” dropped. Digital Underground’s “Sex Packets” dropped. Home Alone with Macaulay Culkin topped the box office and if you tuned your radio to “Hot” 97.1 in NY, you’d hear Freestyle Dance music. A whole generation had flipped the calendar and that dude hadn’t gotten any ass. I know there are plenty of y’all who were born in 1990 and got your smash game on right… so to think that this dude hasn’t gotten a piece in 19 years is really fucking insane.
The reason this dude didn’t get any of that nook-nook is sort of a chicken and egg question: -Did dude not get any ass because he was crazy? I know women have a great sense of intuition and the fact that he had the propensity to go Columbine might have set off women’s senses not to fuck with him. That was probably was the case with that Virginia Tech kid too… And the Columbine kids. -Or was he crazy because he didn’t get any ass? A dry spell of a few months might make a nigga flip out. But nineteen years would probably send the Pope on some Helter Skelter type shit. It’s just not natural. I don’t need to search the internets to know that there are of plenty psychological studies that show that sex depravation will drive a person crazy. Just think: old people and a house full of cats… or homeless people who mumble to themselves. Dudes who can’t get any on their own power should have unfettered access the world’s oldest profession. For those who have a medical case of not non-pussy-getting, like Sodini, there should be a public option.
*Sex is as important to the human species as protein and not being eaten by lions. Obviously, you can’t buy a steak from just ol’ anywhere to get your protein. The place you buy your meat is controlled by some government Health Department. The place that slaughtered the animal is controlled by Food and Drug Administration -as is the place that housed and fed the cows from the day they were born. Steak isn’t illegal, it’s regulated. And in some parts of the world, including some parts of this country, prostitution isn’t illegal, it’s regulated. Though inadvertent, don’t think the irony of comparing prostitution to the meat industry is lost on me, either. But if we take a lesson from our friends in Amsterdam who have legalized prostitution, their working girls are licensed and constantly medically screened by the government. Their industry exists in an open market so there are little to no instances of murder or physical abuse … unless that’s what you paid for. Why not get a government agency to regulate prostitution in the US? This would probably be one of the few agencies that would operate without needing funding.
This isn’t to say that I’m an avid proponent of legalized prostitution. The industry places a monetized value on sex, which has far reaching consequences even into the lives of people who would never sell their bodies or partake. That value is what causes people to sell other people into sexual slavery. That value is what makes some men think that money can buy anything from a trophy wife to a sex tour vacation. That value is what makes some women not mess with no broke niggas. Of course there’s a lot more to it, and correlation isn’t causation, but it’s not that far a leap. The bottom line is that sex is a human necessity and those who can’t get it for free, are going to pay for it. It’s been like that for thousands of years. And I don’t think allowing it to operate on the underground is the best thing for anyone on either side of the transaction.
So I propose legalized prostitution, including a medical prostitution program for special cases like Sodini. Medical prostitution would allow people who have special needs or have no money to get free access to prostitution with a prescription from their doctors. Why the fuck not? It might not have helped his self-image, but I’m thoroughly convinced that if Sodini had had access to medical prostitution, that shooting would have never taken place. Shit… If he had had access to medical marijuana and medical prostitution, dude would have been blogging about fucking fantastic his life was and kittens. That’s the way life should be. While the US Empire is falling apart and we’re being happily manipulated by media propaganda and medicated by anti-depressants and bullshit entertainment, shouldn’t the powers that be have the common decency to keep psychos from shooting shit up?
*Jacked from Barack’s Alter Ego
Prostitutes, skeezers, jumpoffs, harlots, jezebels, etc. save many marriages, relationships and lives across the world. Imagine a world without them. This Sodini fella lived in one and you see how that turned out.
The next time you run into a hoe buy her a bag of chips and congratulate her on all her good work. We love you. No really. We do.
This dude had bigger problems than a lack of sex. Sounds like he was obsessed with self-help teachings with are all about you gaining a dependency on the program ($$) than actually helping yourself.
I believe that even if he had pussy readily accessible to him (with his “$250k net worth”), he still wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger. No pun intended.
Some just aren’t blessed with game.

I was just in Amsterdam a month ago. Marijuana as well as prostitution is legal, and Amsterdam itself has one of the lowest crime rates of any city in Holland. In fact lots of the police officers don’t even have cars, about 80% ride around on bicycles, similar to the era of the walking patrol officer in NYC in the ’80’s.
Las Vegas has legalized prostitution to a degree too, with the brothels. Rarely hear about shit going wrong there either.
he used to the same web store as the VA Tech shooter too: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32329263/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/
CJ, I’m a little stuck @: “Medical prostitution would allow people who have special needs or have no money to get free access to prostitution with a prescription from their doctors”.
Who’s supposed to pay for that? We have enough healthcare issues as is. And I anticipate only congressman/senators qualifying…
I’m with you on the premise however.
Is there a petition? A march? writing campaign….I’m down!
CG,
I found out today that your drops are even 10 times funnier when I burn some greenery.
I’m torn on this one although, I do believe him not getting any trim for the past couple of decades did factor into his personality and mentality. making him nuts!!
See this is some bullshit right here. How the fuck does this man go 19 years without no ass?? smh A nigga like me can’t even go 19 minutes with out leaving a potential son or daughter on the first lady. And if She ever got on her “I’m too tired” shit, I keeps couple Monica Lewinsky types for situations like that. Real shit if he woulds hollad at me everyone would of been alive today. Thats my Campaign slogan “Bust A Nut today save a Life Tomorrow”.
BUSH FAMILY
Word the fuck up! That was my same exact sentiment when I heard about this. Co-sign on the legalize Marijuana comment too. Weed and “ass” make you lazy and contempt, not crazed and depressed. Legalize and regulate/tax both. It will help the economy and chill some of these crazed fuckers out.
This post only got 10 comments so far? This is hilarious and crazy. It definitely makes sense in so many ways. The comparison of the meat industry to legal prostition is dead on. The ramifications on how people view women, value sex would be serious. We may or may not be on our way towards some serious Sodom and Gomorrah anyway, no?

Legalized Prostitution? I would muchh rather put my efforts into legal marijuana.
legalize weed, but im torn on legalizing prostitution. legalizing prostitution will do nothing for the hundreds/ thousands of slaves, mainly kids and third world women sold into that shit.
Prostitution=victimless crime
