like it or not the SCC has ruled they are legal. They would have no grouds directly to close the club just because they don't like it. And if they are not careful if they try to hard, they could be sued for harassment.

I don't like the practice but as long as it isn't pushed in my face and kept on the down low I really don't care. We have far bigger issues to be worrying about than who is having sex with whom...this isn't prostituion these are consenting adults and no soliciting. So? the state has no grounds and no business in the bedrooms of it's citizens.

agreed

If this were a gay bar where the mayor championed closure I imagine that there would be considerably more outrage. Odd that as a society we see heterosexuals going Roman or throwing Sybian parties with the promiscuity of a homosexual and find that to be more immoral.

Boy oh boy.. must be nice to be the mayor of Moncton..

if this can command so much of his energy.


What i don't like is his obvious abuse of power, threatening to use

city officals, health inspectors and manipulating the RCMP

away from enforcing the laws, and into his own personal vendetta against what is a

legal activity.

Can't trust anyone who believes being elected as a public administrator

gives him the authority to "advise" the RCMP.


Maybe the RCMP should have a look into what's happening in the mayor's office.......

I don't get it, if people wants to be swingers and they don't hurt anyone else I really don't see what's the problem.

I think the mayor wants to be a swinger but his wife won't and now he's saying: If I don't get it, nobody gets it!

[denmns]

Just another example of the "prudish" thinking some people have about different sexual lifestyles.

As long as it is done behind closed doors among consenting adults without the exposure of minors, than it should be alright.

This is supposed to be a free country.... maybe its time you get our heads out of the sand. Obviously there is a demand for this type of life style, enough to have a bar dedicated to it. Let them have it. As far I would be concern, if I was the mayor, it would mean more money in the cities purse.

So as long as something makes money that should be the only thing looked at? Why not put stripper clubs next to elementary schools then? I don't live in Moncton but perhaps the community or the area where this is being built has expressed concern over it and now the city council is acting accordingly?

GrainFed, That was hilarious!

Concern based on what? Should you be concerned what other people do behind closed doors and it's not effecting you. If you don't like a swingers club you don't go there.

Where did I say, to put anything indecent next to a school??? I wouldn't put any kind of sexual oriented institution next to any type of school, including universities.

What I said was, if the supply, fits the demand, let them have it, withing reason. Blank the windows, and what happen within consenting adults stay with them; STD included.

What happens when those making the decisions "reason" does not agree with yours? For example, let's take a Swingers Club in a small eastern city. To some, this is totally unreasonable. To others, it's fine.

This is the problem when you make any laws based on morals; no two sets of morals are the same, yet none are wrong. This one seems easy, but you can slide down the slippery slope to others- homosexual bathhouses, to, say, abortion? Eventually you reach a point where you no longer think the freedom is reasonable, and draw your line. But these lines of reason are purely arbitrary.

That being said, this club is harmless.

Well if you have to live next to it or if it is right across from your baker then you of have to see it don't you? Plus it attracts whatever the hell is associated with this type of establishment. I have no idea where this is being built but Moncton isn't that big of a city and maybe the greater area has 100,000 people. Usually when you build one then another one follows and then something else and before you know it gangs get set up and your city or town becomes a worse place to live especially for those who have families. We have tons of areas like this here and clubs controlled by gangs from Shanghai to Bombay. Better off not having these places if you ask me and better off stopping them from getting set up. If Swingers want to swing why can’t they go to each other’s house and do it in their basement or something?
