I gotta disagree with some of what this dude said here.

Pushing drugs, gambling, and prostitution are "victimless crimes?"

I really don't think so.

The drug addict is slowly destroying himself, and there's always the chance that he will do it quickly with an overdose. I've known a few people that are gone now because of that. Good hearted, sweet people that I loved.

Gambling. Well, it's not deadly in and of itself, but many people with the genetic proclivity for chronic gambling have gone broke and ruined their lives, and when they're family men that means that they also ruined the lives of their Wives and children. Hardly victimless if you think about it. And the casinos don't give a shit. They're all run by gangsters.

Prostitution. I really don't believe that any young woman gets involved in that shit because they want to... even the slutty chicks. I don't think any young girl ever dreamed of becoming a hooker when she grew up, the way that a lot of young boys dream of being firemen or police officers. Mostly, they're poverty stricken young women who don't have much in the way of options. I've known a few prostitutes (I'm a White boy who grew up poor, so I've lived in some sketchy places). Those girls all had a dead look in their eyes, like their souls were gone. That's why I've never "been with" a prostitute even though I've been propositioned many times. I wasn't going to exploit their vulnerability and actively take part in their ruin. Most of them end up miserable, and a lot die young either from drugs or suicide, and some are murdered by their Johns or pimps.

Yeah... victimless? I don't think so.
