May I recommend the book Freakonomics, by Steven SomeoneOrTheOther? It provides excellent insight into asking the right questions in the context of human desires.

You still haven't provided any reasons for making this particular activity illegal. "Because it degrades society" is not a reason, it's one particular set of morals derived from abrahamic religions, hence not everyone may agree to it. "It is a gateway crime" is also not a reason - any activity (for example, reading the bible) will become a gateway to other crime if i

No, there is not. A pointer is a variable that can hold an address to memory. A
reference is the address of an object in memory. Hence, a pointer can have arithmetic

Is this a song?
Hmmm .... I can make it one, set this to some music, say 4/4 (general beat of "your

As I see it, the question isn't "should X be legal", it should be "are there any good
reasons to make X illegal"? When X =

It has always been my observation that women are the most against prostitution - no
amount of reasoning ever gets through to them. No woman would like to see it legalised.
Period.
Since it is not possible for women to debate the pros and cons of whether prostitution
should be legal or not, they should rather stay out of the discussion - the only thing
they can add is "It should not be

You need diagnostics - why is it not displaying?
Try typing in the url "http://xxx/xxx.js" into the browser to see what it says. Might
