If it's a regular, recurring event in town, I would say, probably, yes. On the other hand, if two couples decide to play strip poker for their own "enjoyment", no.
You know, you can all scream about "the moralists" all you want, but it was the strong family values, and yes, morals, that made this nation the great nation that it is. And we won't be the ones responsible for it's decline.

You still didn't really answer the question posed earlier:
Why do you propose using the power of government instead of citizen activism such as boycotts and picketing? Better yet, why not collect enough money to buy out the store owner and replace the porn shop with something more befitting your standards?

morals, that made this nation the great nation that it is. Morals in this country declined rapidly when the libertarians managed to stop the practice of drowning witches. I guess we'll have to start that again if we are going to restore morality to this country.

Joathome, i've not once even mentioned the word "moralist". I'm simply trying to understand the boundaries you are setting. I don't really see the distinction between the two examples you give. What you appear to be saying is that it's OK for two couples to play strip poker, so long as they don't do it repeatedly and don't live in town. Is that right? If not, what do you mean? Can three couples play? Four? Ten? Where is the dividing line? How does it work?
