If education is universal, then by all means let the state pay for it, but if it is a luxury reserved for an elite that can get through the application progress then let those elite pay for it from their future wages through student loans.

Trust me, they don't need to be out there doing what they do. The problem is that the girls don't want to be prostitutes, they just want to get their degree and pay their bills. They do it out of necessity in some form or another. Complete bullshit. How do other people pay for their bills? These wanna be whores are just idiots, who take the easy way out. How did women pay for their schooling before this all started? The good old fashioned way, they worked through school and took out loans which they paid off later. Just like everyone else. So they're idiots for paying off their debt faster? Cool story, bro. There was an opportunity for them and they seized it.
I don't know who is the bigger idiot. The old fucks that are actually putting up with this, or the whores that are willing to do this. Paying off their debts faster? Ok, I'm gonna go sit on a corner and have people pay me for sex and "companionship", oh wait... That's illegal and people get arrested for it.

Only interesting thing is, how is this not considered prostitution? Very very few becomes prostitutes purely outa free will. Usually its a question about money, and thus alot of these women are basicly forced into it. Very very few people work at Wal-Mart purely out of free will. Usually its a question about money, and thus a lot of the people working at Wal-Mart are basically forced into it. I don't think "Forced" is the right word, here.
The term is wage-slavery.

That's it in your country (and to a lesser degree everywhere else) because the system is keeping poor people poor, and stupid people stupid. It's an aristocratic bullshit-system.

What consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my business or anyone's business. So long as they are not harming anyone else with their actions, then it being illegal is a farcical imposition of outdated and oppressive values. We have no right to tell someone what they can and can't do with their body and getting uppity over it and calling them whores is pathetic projection.

I guess if you have money to blow do it on a young college girl that will forget you after you die from a heart attack during sex. Just goes to show how mainstream entertainment is causing the youth and young adults in the United States to have less and less self-respect. This is why my fiance is Brasilian, she has morals but is still sexay lol

Come on now don't be disingenuous, UNC has far greater than 10% acceptance -- it's 31.6%. The other 70 odd % will go to other schools they applied to after all. Nobody applies to one college... and it's widely accepted that university education is not "better" per se at a well known school if you're a hard worker. And if you define success by merely monetary gain I don't know what to say.. let's just put it this way, UNC, NYU, UMICH != success nor does Harvard, MIT, Princeton.

Fair enough, but if everyone applied to UNC the acceptance rate would be far below 10%, and still only about 30% of Americans have college degrees and those 30% gain great advantage from those degrees. I see no reason why disadvantaged 70% should be forced to subsidize the advantaged 30%.

because 100% should have a college degree. No less.

I'm pretty sure almost everyone in the US who doesn't thing that going "thug" is the next greatest thing ends up going to college, so almost everyone has student loans. I don't know where all this bullshit about college being for the elite is. Even if you have a college degree you're still very unlikely to start out with a 6 figure job, or even reach one.

college is fast becoming the new high school.
Although most college degrees nowadays mean nothing.
BArts, BSci, BComm, etc are musts to enter further studies or fields.

From some of the amounts of debt and some personal experience it's nowhere near because they're poor or want to pay off school loans. It's purely a choice to have or to maintain a certain lifestyle. To be able to go out to the most expensive clubs, spas, trips, designer clothing. And they don't exactly get forced with a certain person, it's a choice and is closer to marrying someone for money than prostitution.
At least that's the default here.
So much this.
I could easily get a job out of college to afford my substantial student loans. I couldn't get a job that allows me to live the high life AND pay off these loans. So i'll live in a crappy apartment for a few years, not going out very much. Oh well, its the price I pay. I'm the first generation in my family to go to college after high school, so I didn't expect it to be easy.

There is no such thing, it exists only in your Marxist dictionary.

Exactly, any activity that doesn't cause direct harm to people who didn't consent to take part in it should be legal.

And if that's the case college degree would mean even less than finishing high school now does. Well, it's almost how it is in some countries with easily available higher education. Just because people are very unequal in their abilities and attitude to studies and work.

What does it have with self-respect? If I give up on obsolete and not objectively justified ethical values, why should I respect myself less?
