Hmmm, i dont agree with a lot of the answers on here for this topic. Firstly, its not their own fault that they have been killed. Just like its not a childs fault if they get abused by someone. Secondly, i dont think it should be legalised, just cos it has been around for ages. If you legalise that, then why not legalise drugs. In answer to the question about why men use them, isnt it obvious enough? Although a lot of the men who use them, seem to be weirdo's, they arent. you would be surprised at how many 'high profile' people use them. This guy(s) who is doing this to them, is a one off, which you get in any society. obviously he has mental issues. To label prostitutes as dregs of society though is a bit harsh i think. They are still someones sister/mother who have problems of their own, and see that as a way of dealing with their problems...
