I don't know how we would accomodate polygamy, but again I don't care.

Trespassing is trespassing. If you are on someone else's property when you are not supposed to be, that's trespassing. As you would say, "its that simple."

I am aware of the health concerns. If you read my first post on this, I said there should be strict monitoring of the health issues. If we were to legalize this, it would have to be contained to places that have been approved by the city they are in. The idea there is to keep prostitution off the streets. Bartering sex for drugs is not a prostitution issue. It is a drug addiction issue. I don't have an answer for that, but its not what we are talking about here.

Gambling is an addiction, but so are cigarettes and those aren't illegal. Just because its an addiction, does not mean it needs to illegal. An addiction is only as dangerous as the addict lets it become in my opinion. I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for four years. The day I got serious about it, I was able to quit. I have friends and family who have quit heroine, cocaine, pills, you name it. I live in NJ where gambling is only legal in Atlantic City and the only reason its not legal everywhere is because Trump and the other casino owners throw a lot of money at the politicians to keep it that way.

If I just made a movie that was going to be a huge success, but I wasn't making the money on it that I should because people were buying bootlegged copies, I would be a victim. That's money out of my pocket that I use to support my family.

I honestly thought that was your position. Now its clear that you don't really have a position and were simply looking to have an argument someone. Glad I could help.

You confuse "discussion" with arguing. I assume whats happening is you are projecting your intent.

btw, a public park belongs to the public, how is it trespassing to use your own park? ;)

You have no idea what copyrights are for, thats the only reason why you equate it with "stealing", this is not an opinion, its a fact.

Okay, so if its public we can do whatever we want to it? Does that mean I can burn down the White House since it belongs to me?

If somebody sells something that does not belong to them what is that exactly? Are you saying that's not wrong?

You seem to think its a good law to have no trespassing inn public parks at night because its trespassing and that's good enough for you.
