    I really don’t understand the way the US works in regards to „bought“ sex… on the one hand prostitution is illegal (with the exception of Las Vegas parts of Nevada) and as soon as you point a camera on the paid fucking it is called PORN and it is still a multi billion dollar industry.

    You guys are weird

    Edit: changed the Las Vegas part

      It started a few centuries ago when this annoying group of people known as Puritans were expelled from their home country and sailed to north America.

      The natives saved them from starvation and today still impose their beliefs and values on everybody. These hypocritical laws is but one example

          It’s easy to get confused because a lot of people who left England did so because they had no other prospects or no other choice, in the case of criminals or financial delinquents.

          Reading up on the founding of the US is a doozy. Essentially, all the rejects of England sailed to the ‘New World’ because there was more opportunity for them there than at home.

          The ones who had it good stayed in England.
