Not really.
Victimless crimes are NOT a huge priority and the public get annoyed if police resources are spent on things like prostitution etc.
Prostitution is legal, but regulated Women can operate from premises but not on the street.
Personal use of pot is a small fine or legal in some states. It's sale is illegal.
Basically, if consenting adults are the only ones involved and nobody is getting hurt, it's iether legal or a petty offense.

Our laws are developed form a Christan belief system. Many years ago with we were British, the church and State were very much in the same, until British history changed and they were separated.
But the main moral code of the country is Christan.
And yes alot of laws are still even today based on that moral code. Etc age of consent, de facto relationships, common law marriages, homosexual relationships etc.
There is still a law in Hobart Tasmania that states "No man shall wear a dress after 6 pm in the main street."
My mind goes in over drive to workout how the law came into being. But it was enacted in 1800's.

LOL. Thanks I heard.
It's incredible what people think. Sure I'm an American (but if I go to Europe I just say I'm Canadian)
Just because I love America I would NOT expect for others to become Americanized. And force them to "act" American.
But I'm more open to other cultures so that's probably why.
Thanks it was a great voice address! O0
