I seems to me to be only fair that since Rev. John Culp and the Fort Square Presbyterian Church have eliminated poverty, hunger, drunkenness, bigotry, racism, all forms of discrimination in around Quincy (and managed to raise the general level of education and healthcare to the highest possible standard) that they should spend some time trying to eradicate scantily-clad women, who have not broken any laws.

This was Insulting.

I don't understand why they want to pick on this place every commercial on TV sells SEX. Why don't they just ban the local stations and cable co.?

Seems to me that the good people of Quincy should be free to determine their own community standards, even if folks elsewhere disagree.

Thee problem I have with this is,that ppl never say make this law to stop me from doing this "blank" I should stop.

They always want to stop the other bloke FOR HIS OWN GOOD; when that person is not hurting them.

I agree Thomas, this could get out of hand - but the venue in question is called the Tilted Kilt. At basic level this is about perceptions and perceiving the kilt as something deviant and perverse. By extension, we all become deviants and perverts, just because we wear a kilt.

Rather than doing good, it is always far easier to talk about something bad. Until such time as I hear that there has been a community vote on this issue, I choose to believe that the Rev. John Culp has issues of his own that he needs to deal with first.

If I lived around there and was looking forward to being a patron, I'd be a little insulted at being called a pervert and social deviant.

Did he actually call all potential patrons deviants and perverts? The way I interpret his comment, he's saying that a business which capitalizes on scantily-clad women could bring in those types of people, not that being a customer automatically makes a person perverted or sexually deviant. There's a big difference there.
