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.

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.

Is that somehow a bad thing?
 
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'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...
 
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:

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.

I suspect there's some regional cultural dissonance going on with this comment. I'm too young to have gone to strip clubs 30 years ago (I don't really like strip clubs now, but not for moral reasons so much as because they're a spectacular waste of money), but there were plenty of them in major coastal cities; especially in places like New York, LA and San Francisco.

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

There's no problem with that. If that's how you feel/believe, that is how you feel/believe. Many other people likely feel exactly the same way.

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.

One way to get through a lot of it is to ask a hypothetical question like: "Would you be concerned that your son/daughter's teacher has a wife whose occupation is that of a stripper?"
-Watch a segment of the population's pretense of anti-elitism dissipate.

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.

I think it really depends. If she was actively stripping at the time we met and started dating, that'd probably be unacceptable to me. But if we started dating and she were to tell me "oh I used to strip at this local club back when I was 19 trying to pay for college" I honestly wouldn't care. Context is sort of important here, and its not "once a stripper always a stripper."

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.

As opposed to sucking **** for twenties? Maybe yeah...


And don't try to tell me there aren't a pretty large number of strippers who prostitute on the side, I'm an ex-cop.

That's just not true.

Maybe it was seen that way in some bumbkin bible-thumping town out in the boonies, but such a view was not universal.

You're not the only one here over the age of 30

Then you know exactly what I'm referring to, as I was in NC as well in the Raleigh area and later Wilmington. Perspective is not reality when judging another person...

Or maybe, what we no longer accept is the Moral Fascists and their need to feel superior to everyone else.

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:

Maybe for some, but rest assured, you'll see it more frequently than perhaps Goshin or yourself give credit.

Deny it as much as you want, but you went a lot further than merely saying "I think that is wrong and want no part of it" so enough with the victim act

You would be wrong, with the first mistake being that of judging others opinions based on your prejudices. You and I generally agree on most issues, but I just think you're being a bit closed minded on this subject...
