How would you know they're prostitutes? If you can perform the same action and have it not be a crime, but for your inner thoughts, whereas if you do think those thoughts the action is then a crime, then we're what we're really talking about is thoughtcrime. Doesn't that bother you slightly? > as a business, commonly known as "running a brothel." We're not talking about brothels, but specifically about a sort of motel that you must be familiar with if only hypothetically. They use the floorplan of those shitty 1970s motels, there's no parlor, no madam who points at the girls and tells you to pick out one, and often enough an antagonist relationship between the owners and the hookers. These are real places, they aren't rare, and trying to shift the conversation to something else earns you no credit for honesty. Renting rooms to hookers is no crime. Motel clerks aren't deputized by the state to perform law enforcement and even if they were it's the hooker's crimes that are illegal, not the hooker herself. She still has a right to rent a room. > But again, you seem to choose to employ metaphors Wasn't a metaphor at all. Are you so dimwitted that you can't tell?
