Double Barrel, My point was that the pimps, despite what they say, are not good for the women. It may not be the same institution, but its the same concept.
Pimps are men who dominate sexually abused women.

@L'Immortal: Quite true. Pretty disgusting that women-degrading criminals are glorified that way.
As long as men have hormones and penises (penii? 
) there will be prostitutes in some form or another. Since the women who become prostitutes aren't always the brightest bulbs, there will be someone (male or female) behind them running most of the show. Good or bad, right or wrong, you won't get rid of it.
All the hype around pimps now is just stupid. It'll pass... the sooner the better.

They wouldn't be the first union to suck up money and give nothing in return.
Sims, give me my money and get back to work before I forget that more than one beating a week is bad for business.

Because the pimps pay them off like any other decent organized criminal business does.
Duh.

How very true. Having it be illegal seems like a waste of police resources.

Never understand the prostitute's need for a pimp. I would just privitize myself and collect all profits.

How is a pimp for a prostitute so different from, let's say, an agent for a musician, setting up his dates, making sure he's paid, making sure each concert site holds up their end of the deal re security and whatnot?
That's not to say I have much good to say about the way pop artists and record companies do business. Just pointing out that "having someone else to do all the dirty work for you, for a cut of the take" is nothing unique to prostitution.

A musical agent does not traffic in the sordid and filthy criminal misery of others, nor physically abuse and enslave their clients.
Except in the case of Streisand and a few others.

There *have* been quite a lot of stars in various fields, mostly young prodigies, many of them managed by relatives, who found themselves milked for every dollar they were worth but given almost nothing -- a disaster if your career is as a figure skater, tennis player, or similar, who can't expect a professional life past 30 or so and needs to be planning to live off the proceeds for a long time to come. Also happens to composers and authors who are told to sell their work outright while the agent negotiates ongoing royalties for himself.
Sorry if this looks like a threadjacking... to return to my basic point, I don't see anything inherently bad about pimping - just that it is a business that experiences an incredibly high corruption rate. Mostly because of it being illegal. Legalizing prostitution doesn't make pimps vanish necessarily -- it just makes them subject to business regulations, sue-able for failure to give the girl her share, etc., and would generally force them to reform. Much the same way as prescription narcotics are safer than street drugs, not because they are less addictive or dangerous inherently, but because they are quality controlled in production and (sometimes anyway) distributed according to medical need instead of desires.

That kid from Home Improvement comes to mind. I forget his name, it's the youngest one. He actually lives nearby (Lawrence, KS, I'm in KC) and him trying to get him money from his parents makes the news here occasionally, since he's 'local'. Sad when that happens. . . but like Siegmund says, it's not really that much different.

Taran Noah Smith. One knows all about him...
There is another side to it, what with him getting hitched at 16 with some 30+ year old woman, and coming under her influence. I don't think she is beating him, drugging him, or hiring him out as a rentboy; I would have heard about at least the latter.
As for one's previous post, it seems that it went right through to the keeper.

I do know it's his wife that's pushing him to get his money. If he's over 18 now, then it should be his. But if his parents are leery about giving him his money because of her. . . well, that's not right. Her being a gold digger is TNS' problem, not his parents. There are other ways to protect it, IMO.

In my country prostitution is legal, but pimping is still illegal. Pimp is a negative word; they should be called managers. The managers in the prostitution industry have unfortunately a reputation of mistreating women, and that should of course be illegal. But it can't be illegal to make money on other peoples misfortune. After all that is what our beloved capitalism is about, right?
