The difference between porn and prostitution is that porn isn't something that the common person can do or even would do and is produced for entertainment.

It's a thin line in the technical sense but not in the moral or in the use of common sense.

Since you're a teacher- something to do with every day life I recall, current events or something of that sort- do you tell the girls in your classes that they should consider becoming prostitutes because it should be legal?

Do you tell the 18-year-old girls that they should be able to let the boys in the class pay them for sex?

I bet you don't.

Yes, though, it's very different from the porn industry.

Which means if you have ever watched porn, morally you're no different than a prostitute's John. Since you don't see a distinction between porn and prostitution, should porn be illegal like prostitution?  Who put you in charge of making decisions for everybody else? Frankly, you're not qualified for that job. 

While I don't see the connections drawn in the OP nor am I particularly sympathetic to his viewpoint, I believe the bold lines for which you responded are intended to mean that while there is a technical distinction there is NO moral distinction between the two.  I'm sure you will be getting a direct response from BFritz likely making the same point here soon.  Not sure why I chose this particular post to clarify one poster's point to another poster, but maybe I'm getting bored.
