Ask yourself a few questions
1. What is the ideal life that a human should live on the planet? A life which doesn't deprive anyone of their right and that gives you everything you need to grow, sustain and evolve as a human being.
When you are able to define "an ideal you" and ask yourself what you need to become that, you may surprise yourself that 98% of things you think you need or want are actually irrelevant and un-necessary to pursue. Now as yourself, what will you end up getting by opening or going to bars, clubs, and lotteries? What good things will you earn for yourself or anyone in society because you spent life and financial resources on the above three things?
Now your question: when a few are doing it anyway... shy should they not be streamlined so everyone does that and possibly contributes to National income? Taking the example of a society composed of 100 people, some 2-5% of them will be radical and non-complying, but that 2-5 % do not become your principle-setters or direction setters. As a society we know some people are involved in wrong-doings, like corruption, breaking law etc - but you cannot make corruption and breaking traffic laws as main-stream, even when these people end up paying penalty for their wrongdoing and apparently penalty money seems to help a few people.
In the West (that you are using as an example and where much of what you are asking for is available openly), the government is running programs that help people quit drinking and gambling as these are considered social problems. So even if your source of inspiration is the west, know they are trying to keep these problems in control and despite being available to everyone, the government runs campaigns to help people avoid them.
A thug wants stealing to be legalized. A rapist wants raping to be legalized, and a prostitute would want prostitution to be legalized.
People never see the filth they are drowning in, they only want to envelope every one else along with them, and to gain some momentary benefits while in the process.
Does someone who gets robbed consent to being robbed?
Does someone who gets murdered consent to getting murdered?
Does a child being abused consent?
Whereas a prostitute consents.
An alcohol drinker consents.
Apples and oranges.
Your analogy is rubbish.
Banning solves nothing.
Has your puritan thinking managed to cure these ills?
The answer is no.
It has succeeded in creating a hypocritical, criminal, corrupt society that covers a pile of excrement in a white sheet and calls it pure.
Prostitution and alcohol is rife, freely available and out of control in Pakistan. It is controlled by criminal mafias.
You are devoid of answers because you can't see past your own self piety.
Your assertion that people who want to see this being regulated by the state are somehow doing it because they believe that these things are right, proper and moral and want to indulge freely couldn't be further from the truth. These people are realists and see human nature for what it is. They also see what damage driving these things underground causes to the fabric of society. I don't doubt that you yourself and people who think like you mean well, but you have no answer to these problems because you cannot or are not prepared to think outside the box. More of the same isn't the answer. The Taliban when they were in power in Afghanistan couldn't stop prostitution. Because banning and force isn't and never has been a solution to anything.
Education and regulatory control is the way forward.
Here comes another flawed attempt at logic instead of trying to comprehend what was written.
Who spoke about the victim? I'm talking about the crime, can you comprehend the difference?
A rapist is not the victim, he is consenting to his crime.
A murderer is not a victim, he is consenting to what he is doing.
A drunk retard is not a victim except of his own.
It's a choice people make.
Just like you cannot legalize murder because people consent to committing it anyway, in the same way you cannot legalize prostitution just because some people will do it, and others will seek it.
Just because some people love to take a dive into filth, and live a live of filth, and condemn themselves to the hellfire and have nothing to do with Allah and His religion, and then come suggest us to allow our general public to also be "allowed" to have free unrestricted access to filth. That does not mean we should condemn our entire society to filth by making it legal for them.
We are a nation of Muslims and created for Muslims and we allow what Allah has allowed and we stop what Allah has made haram.
If people still choose to live a life of an animal and eat and sleep filth and enjoy the delusion till death approached them, then they are responsible for it and they will answer for it. Am I worried if they burn in hell? No I'm worried if the dimwits whose future is in hell are trying to lure others towards it by asking to legalize filth.
Man this guy longhorn is an absolute destroyer. Pdf consider him for your thinktank consulting. He has a moderate approach and a sound reasoning. He balances idealism with realism.
No, only because he carries the same ignorant views that match yours.
A one eyed person is king in front of blind animals.
