New Delhi, India is way ahead of the curve. They banned topless bars years ago. But India’s government is secular, so puritanism can’t be at fault.
But really guys, I don’t see what’s wrong with foreigner’s curiosity about American news and politics. America is the greatest country ever. Why wouldn’t everyone with a brain and a pulse care what about what happens in America?

For this particular foreigner it usually has more to do with condemning the greatest country ever and/or the faith it was founded on at every available opportunity.[/quote]
I’m familiar with Mak’s post-history. He’s not quite as anti-american as you’d label him, he just doesn’t dwell on it’s positive moments (which is to say, he won’t deny American involvement in the Korean War or Barry Goldwater, he’ll just bring up Vietnam and Bush II). I agree he takes an ‘any stick to beat a dog’ methodology to attacking Christianity, but in all fairness, I see the same methodology applied by others here to Obama, so while I disagree, it’s all kitteh pictures and southern Hip-Hop to me.

Oh, I don’t necessarily see anything “wrong” with a “foreigner’s curiosity about American news and politics.”
It just struck me as a bit odd that a foreigner would care so much about 1) the (relatively speaking) insignificant issue of nude bars 2) in, not the whole US, or even in a majority of states, or even in a “major” state, but in Missouri of all places.
Hell, most of us Americans don’t even care about a story like that.
Which kinda makes one wonder if the OP has some sort of an agenda.

Puritanism: the fear that someone, somewhere, might be having fun.
How long until Sen. Matt Bartle is caught getting a blowjob from some dude in a seedy gas station bathroom? Not long, not long at all.
And what the hell are soldiers there for training supposed to do for fun on weekends? Find the nearest church and pray to their Lord and Savior?
Because this guy doesn’t know how to control himself around booze and women, ipso facto, no one can?[/quote]
What’s your problem with this? It is not a total ban on porn. It is one community saying that it is going to maintain certain standards of business within the city limits under the same authority that allows that commuity to determine if a business can open, what capacity it can have, what fire safety measures it must use, how many lights, what type of HVAC, what types of products can be sold there . . .
This is the basic right of every community. Some communities are dry, some are not. Some allows stip clubs, some don’t.
Every community is free to regulate the amount, types and size of the businesses in its jurisdiction.
No one is saying that private individuals cannot own, purchase ot enjoy porn in the privacy of their own home - just that they do not want the physical stores in their community. No big deal here - you doth protest too much . . . .
