Bad Supreme Court Ruling

Once again, Canada is better. Canada = the land of the free. Where its perfectly legal to swear on TV (Yes, even on family programming.. bands on muchmusic say 'fuck' and 'shit' all the time), where you can't sue people for dumb shit like being eaten by someone's guard dog while you were in the middle of robbing them, and perhaps most importantly, you can get a nice legal nakkid-ass lap-dance.

Ahem.. Canada kicks ass.

Who the hell wears pasties anymore?!?!

Aren't pasties smaller versions of those things you put on the bottom of your tub/shower to prevent you from slipping?

Best Source for Strippers : Eastern Europe. Hungery, the former Czech. Republic, Romania, etc. I'm going to move there one day.

Canada rocks!

(Except Quebec)

Though it would be hard to top my esteemed friend honky (#75), I must add my 2/100ths of a dollar.

I'm sure all of us Americans can immediately recognized this as completely and totally unconstitutional. The problem is that most people are reaching this conclusion by the wrong line of reasoning. It must have been one drunken lawyer somewhere, who one day decided that every time the gov't tries to ban something like this, that it's trampling on our 1st Amendment right to free speech. Now, I'll grant that that may be valid, that I can conceive of (nude) dancing as being a real form of expression, and that censoring that expression in any way (including banning it in public, mind you) would be an abridgement of free speech. However, this is *not* the argument that we should use if we truly wish to preserve freedom.

The core misconception is that whatever rights the Constitution and its amendments don't explicitly give us, we don't have (and as a corrolary, that whatever gov't powers are not prohibited, it has). This is unambiguously false. The Constitution works in the exact opposite way: anything not explicitly prohibited, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DO (so long as it does not step on the toes of anyone else's equal rights to same). If you want proof, look at Amendments 9 and 10:
"9. The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
"10. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Simply put, the "traditional power of government to foster good morals" simply DOES NOT EXIST. And if we are to preserve the last vestiges of rights that we do have, we must call the government's bluff every time they pull this shit. G-string laws for nudie bars? Unconstitutional. The ban on marijuana? Unconstitutional. The bans on prostitution, sodomy, oral sex,
adultery, cohabitation (these are not federal bans)? Unconstitutional.
The worst part is that the average citizen never considers this. They don't know the 9th and 10th amendments exist. Whenever the gov't tramples on someone's rights, their question is, "will it affect me?" And if not, they say nothing. We must learn to value the rights of our neighbors as much as our own, and be willing to fight for both.

You'd think if people didn't want to see tits, and ass then they wouldn't go to these places. I can understand indescent exposure laws, (I don't want to see some fat fuck running around nekid), but if it's in a frickin' bar, where there's signs all over the place about nekid dancers, then I don't think it's anyones business... Oh well. I guess if you want to see nekid chicks you either find 'em yourself, or pay a stupid herpe-filled whore

"But Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, in a separate opinion by Scalia, voted to uphold the law on different grounds, citing "the traditional power of government to foster good morals ... and the acceptability of the traditional judgment ... that nude public dancing itself is immoral."

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Can some country, somewhere, keep at least a little freedom going, so that when America goes fascist I'll have somewhere to move to??

wtf is this iran!!??!? gay gay gay..u dont like it dont go
fucking tired of Big Brother bullshit...even tho it wont affect me here ...if it does ill have 2 regulate...

So just don't call them barroom dancers. What's the problem?

OMG
What an afull thought, no more stripers?
that just makes me sick to think about it

It's always a fucking stuck up ugly bitch of a woman passing these stupid laws restricting nude dancing. Cause she's got her panties in a twist, and she looks like shit, and if she ever danced nude, she'd make everyone lose their lunch. Why can't they leave it alone? They say it's good to restrict adult entertainment because it has a negative effect on society!!?? bullshit why don't u pass a fucking more strict gun control law, rather than trying to control sex, which really isn't America's biggest problem. The more adult entertainment you deprive from men, the more rapes will occur, fuck sex censorship! everyone's gotta learn about sex even kids, sex education is important to control STD's and pregnancies, if the US was anything like Europe, men wouldn't go nuts just over seeing a chick's tits. Over in Europe it's a normal NATURAL thing. Ofcourse it still turns European men on, but it doesn't drive them insane, or make them want to rape her.
I'm a proud Canadian, come over to Canada if you wanna go to some nice strip clubs, I hear the best are in Montreal, you only gotta be 18 to get into bars (legal drinking age) and most of the time they won't even bother to card you even if your underage! It rules! Fuck American Law!

Enjoy.

ahhh... so now i know - i was getting a bit worried about US dancers wearing pasties :)
"In the US pasties are "Small adhesive coverings for the nipples worn by exotic dancers"
In the UK it is: "Meat- or vegetable-filled pastry dish""

And no i dont know why we call cigarettes 'fags' either.

And the reason we all come HERE to dis the US, is because yep, you have all the best sites. Heh
(Not that I dis, mind you.)

The definition of "pasties" depends on who you talk to... (stirring up that US vs UK smiley thing again) .. :)

In the US pasties are "Small adhesive coverings for the nipples worn by exotic dancers"
In the UK it is: "Meat- or vegetable-filled pastry dish"

Wack... -> http://pages.prodigy.com/britspeak/probword.html

We'll im in Oregon and this will never happen here its all nude all the time no restrictions,

WTF is a pasty?

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! Isn't "Freedom of Nudity" in the constitution somwhere...you know in the back or something...

Prague has some great ones!

Alot of all-nude places got affected by the infamous "hair-net" ordinance a few years back. Caused many of them to go BYOB to avoid G-Strings.

and mom, if you read the Shack...I just heard this somewhere...I don't know personally :)

ordinance that requires women who work as barroom dancers to wear at least pasties and a G-string when performing.

They don't mention where the pasties and G-strings have to be worn.

:)

I just have to say...

LOAD OF CRAP!!!!!

where are the pictures to supplement the article? they should at least show what they are talking about to help us people who can't handle all those words.

funny how people come from all over the world to the shack just to diss
and flame us here in the USA.I really wouldn't waste my time on a british/canadian or what ever place's gaming site just to stir shit up,
oh wait thier site's must be shiite thats why everyone comes here yes?

Whatevah yo .........

wait so no more strip clubs?

Who cares? Bring on the pr0n!

well the only reason I stay here is because Americans are to stupid to do the job I do and can't fill the positions with Americans so i stay here and make mad cash..

Yah - Damn Baptist! They should be careful for what they wish for!

In my home town there is a video rental place that decided to make a room for "Adult" videos. They put it in quietly and had no signs pointing it out at all. They even removed all of the Playboy and cheesy "B" videos from the main room and put them into it.

In the same town there is a Baptist College. These little people took it on as there mission to rid our town of this room. Yep, they did and the room disappeared. Then a week after the room was gone my girlfriend and I were looking for a video and she pointed out to me that they moved all of the videos back out onto the regular shelves. Way to go B's - you got all the smut moved out onto the regular shelves!

They suck - not that I mind seeing the vids! ! ! !
