We agree.
The drinking ages were held hostage by the Feds by road money. Tennessee was a 18 state for a long time.
I am surprised Nevada got away with gambling and legal prostitution.
I am still surprised prostitution isn't legal in more places. It's a private transaction that doesn't require any scrutiny by the state.
Because they haven't figured a way to properly collect taxes for the services rendered, otherwise it would be legallized and taxed. 
Name a profession and someone is doing it under the radar for which they aren't being taxed or collecting tax. 
Not as easily as prostitution.
He's correct as to why prostitution is illegal - yes, you can skirt taxes in any profession, but not as easily as you can prostitution - but there's other factors.
One could argue that if Johnny's free to get a prostitute every night, maybe he doesn't get married and settle down. Maybe he doesn't lock himself into a mortgage and a second car and engulf himself in debt that he needs to obediently work off for most of his natural life.

I would argue that most of the men who are using prostitutes are already married... and if Johnny is getting married because he thinks he will get sex all the time, then I know some people he should talk to.

I could find you an autobody shop in a guys garage. A car repair shop in another guys garage, a barber, a baker, a butcher and candlestick maker, a canner of foods, etc etc., I think there is more of it than you are allowing for. ( I quite literally know one of each of those LOL)
If Johnny thinks things are better with Hookers than with a woman that loves him, then Johnny shouldn't get married.
Although, there is probably something too the thought that Variety is the spice of life

I agree.
When you get down to it, darn near every issue with social impact should be under state domain.
You want the drinking age set at 18, do it. You want abortion illegal in your state, so be it. There would be enough of each that if drinking was important enough, you could find a place to do it. If you wanted abortion, you could find one if your state didn't allow it.
Who better than the people of the state to decide the laws of the state?? Federal mandates should be far and few between.
Yeah I generally agree with you Peen but sometimes States aren't right even when its what the state wants. Easy example Jim Crow laws. Sometimes the States need to be told what they can and cannot do so people's fundamental constitutional rights are not modified, restricted, or unavailable.
As for drinking my mom let me drink some gin and 7up when i was 14 and I had my first beer when i was like 15, but I grew up in a very rural country setting. As everyone has said once you can legally shoot someone you should be able to take a shot.
As for the mention of 3-2 beer that's what my dad said he drank and he's old so you're giving away your age there.

And it's fairly clear that states cannot infringe on somebodys constitution rights... however that philosophy has been used for the federal government to reach into far more areas than they need to be... public education is not a consititutional right, wearing a seatbelt is not a consititutional issue, drinking age is not, etc... and the federal government flat our participates in extortion when it says we feel one way and if you don't agree with us, we withhold your funding.

I knew a couple of dancers once named Variety and Spice ........  Anyway ...... does anyone know how much illegal prostitution is there in Vegas and Reno? How much does this ..... *ahem* ..... industry raise in taxes and licensing fees? I'm also curious what effect, if any, legal prostitution has on sex crimes.

Separate but Equal? Brown vs. Broad of Education disagrees unless of course you think Separate but equal was constitutional and the federal government had no right to step in. Purp I believe you're a good man so I highly doubt you mean that people don't have a constitutional right to education.

The federal government has to make calls which it believes is the for the betterment of society and helps enforce people's fundamental rights as human beings. Now I don't agree with every distinction or every rule but I have faith in the US Supreme Court to step in and make those calls. Call it youthful inexperience, optimism, or just hope but I believe in America and its judicial system to correct itself when necessary.

What the federal government is and is not allowed to do is fairly well (or WAS fairly well) explained.. the fact that they have manipulated such things as the interstate commerce clause to get away with doing things that it was never envisioned that they should do is pathetic..
And I have some faith in the SCs too but if 550 elected officials can be wrong, so can a handful of judges.
