Hey God.
Who is the liar?

"ON THE CONTRARY... Prostitution is illegal everywhere in the world except Nevada and should always be highly prosecuted. Only the filthly and pathetic need to find a prostitute."

The person who wrote that prostitution is illegal in all other counties is sadly mistaken. Although I do not condone it, you must educate yourself on it. There are many articles and studies on it. I am listing just a few below:

Australia
Prostitution itself is legal but laws very in different states regarding street soliciting and brothels. See Australian Prostitution Legal With Mostly Reasonable Restrictions

New Zealand
The Prostitution Reform Act 2003 made ALL adult prostitution and brothels a legal occupation in New Zealand but may have too many restrictions on brothels. In fact the government has online their "Brothel Operator Certificates." There are reasonable health and safety requirements such as using condoms, local bylaws can restrict signage and brothel locations, and a provision to outlaw pimping. The entire Act is at http://www.sexinnz.co.nz/news2.htm#REFOR...

In some jurisdictions, such as Nevada (see prostitution in Nevada), Switzerland and in four Australian states or territories (Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory), prostitution is legal but heavily regulated.

Prostitution in the Netherlands is legal and common. A majority of the women working in prostitution are foreigners, and the country is fighting against human trafficking.

Prostitute population

A study by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2000 estimated that there are a total of between 20,000 and 25,000 prostitutes in the Netherlands on a yearly basis. Approximately 32% are Dutch, 22% are Latin American, 19% are Eastern European, 13% are African (south of the Sahara), 6% come from other countries from the European Union (aside from the Netherlands), 5% come from Northern Africa and 3% are Asian

Greece and Turkey have both legalized prostitution. Women must register and attend clinics for regular examinations, in some cases as frequently as twice weekly.

In Western European countries such as Germany, prostitution is legal—but only for European Union residents. The restrictions are intended to combat trafficking in women—
