It's a proven fact,that in most instances,sex shows attract alot of bad characters,that begin bringing communities down to their debaucherous level-as well as lead to greater incidences of STD's and the spread of aids/hiv. Why should our children be exposed to all of that-just for the sake of allowing sexually obsessive people to insert their ugly world into a good and peaceful community ?
Not so, Torog. It's because of such a taboo about things like sex shows. That means all th hard-working honest citizens dont go because they're afraid of being marked as some pervert.
It's the "bad" people that dont care and go, which gives the image that only "bad" people go to such things. Its akin to politicians advocating reforms on pot laws. Noone will touch it because they dont want to be viewed as a stoner who smokes bongs all day.
If more "good" people went to the sex shows, then im quite sure they wouldnt tolerate bullshit from some weirdo in the corner.
This is my country too and I'll be danged if I have to be ashamed to walk down the street with my children..this ain't an adults-only world..the children have to live here too.
Here in Toronto, the downtown area we pretty much have a porno store on every corner with big signs advertising whats inside...it's on yonge street right before you hit the Toronto Hemp Company and the theatre where they play the Vagina Monologues...amazingly though, the society hasnt crumbled, the gangs stay in the bad part of town and children walk about completely carefree in their innocence... but hey, that's just what happens in the real world...i suppose there's something in the drinking water that makes americans so different.
Have a good one ....
