Still Undecided

I usually have an opinion one way or another about any given topic. But there is one particular item that I am totally undecided on: legalizing prostitution. I don't know what to think about it. Part of me wants there to be some sort of structure and support system for women who do work the streets, but another part of me wishes there weren't any women putting themselves in that position to begin with.

Another issue I have problems deciding on: sex. Typical Indian values + liberal opinions don't mix very well. I think I'm at the point where I would never judge anyone for being free and generous with their sexuality, but I won't judge someone for being strict and conservative about it either. It's a personal choice, really. I'm not going to begrudge someone's personal choice. There is no right or wrong with sexuality, like there is with something like racism.

There was this interesting discussion at work today at lunchtime. Near the end of the hour, it was all the younger folks (and my fifty something boss, heh) sitting around the table, talking about love, relationships, marriage, our generation, and the opposite sex. We came to a conclusion on why people our age just didn't get married (or stay married) like the older generations did; men and women aren't co-dependent on each other anymore.
