No I would not marry a stripper. But I would put her over my knee and give her a spanking. Your a bad bad girl.
This is a very narrow minded viewpoint with a lot of "ass"umptions thrown in to boot...
So, people that support themselves in a profession with which you have moral issues, you would discard from consideration altogether
Just askin'.
Uh, no, what I said is plain fact.
Thirty years ago, in most places outside of Vegas and suchlike, strip clubs were hidden on back roads, had no signs and did not advertise. The vast majority of people had very low opinions of both patrons and performers from strip clubs, if they ever learned of it.
Tell me what in that was an "ass"umption, as opposed to an OBSERVATION about how things have changed while I WATCHED them change.
How about politicians? Would you marry one? Or are strippers looking better and better?

Yes, that is who you think it is. The other one is the stripper.
I realize that is a minority opinion these days... and I think a lot of you folks under 30 don't realize how much has changed and how fast, over the past 20-30 years. It wasn't that long ago that strip club patrons were generally viewed as perverts who should be ashamed of themselves, and society viewed strippers in much the same manner as prostitutes... especially since the two often go hand in hand.
Looking at this thread, I'm getting that our society has "evolved" to the point where the only thing we WON'T tolerate and accept, is anyone having the slightest moral standards... or daring to say "I think that's wrong and don't want to get involved in it".
:damn:
Prostitution, pornography, things I know are sinful. What's wrong with me having standards? I'm not judging the stripper, I'm just saying as far as my choice goes in marrying someone I have standards and I want them to have like-minded morals especially when it comes to raising children.
I'm probably older than you, but the clubs were usually on main drags or adjacent to shopping centers, and I'm posting from a southern perspective...

What is inherently wrong with supporting oneself? Would you rather they be sucking from the public teet?

The only place I ever lived, prior to about 1990, where that was so was Charlotte NC, and then mostly just on the south side of Independence Boulevard... and the strip clubs STILL got shut down from time to time by the sheriff.
In most other places, prior to that, it was as I said.
I don't know where you lived, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say that up until 1980-something most everyday folks didn't take a favorable view of strippers, strip clubs, or patrons of same.

I have no particular issue with someone being opposed to strip clubs on moral grounds, but suggesting that not sharing that opinion indicates a lack of moral standards is pretty small-minded.
Or maybe, what we no longer accept is the Moral Fascists and their need to feel superior to everyone else.
Of course I would. Why should I be romantically involved and married to someone that I have moral issues with? It's my emotions and my choice too. I have every right to have standards and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think it's a good thing and should be a necessary thing. Like I said though, if they were an ex-stripper and repented from that way of life I wouldn't have problems. I could have compassion for a needy woman that has turned to the sex industry to make a living, but I wouldn't marry her unless there were changes.
I don't want to enter into a marriage with someone whom I have very strong moral problems with. I do not want someone raising my children that does not share similar morals with me and would raise our kids to believe that stripping, prostitution, pornography, and other things that I believe are evil, wrong, and unacceptable. I don't want those kind of values instilled in my children, and I could not marry someone that actively engages in such things. Also, I want a wife who will be faithful to me sexually and I would be the same to her. It is cheating, in my view, for her to get naked and sexually objectify herself before others for money and I would not do the same thing with my body either.
My point was that even SAYING "I think that is wrong and want no part of it" apparently brings out the Hounds of Political Correctness and Acceptance of Everything Except Morality to snarl and snap at the person who dares have some kind of standards... and worse still, has the nerve to SPEAK of them in public! Oh my no, we can't have that! :roll:
