SeekingHisPeace: Since you both claim this is all about protecting American children, let's revisit a previous post of mine: SeekingHisPeace:Statistically, your fears are unfounded.  Our society is the most prudish of most western cultures, yet we have the highest teen pregnancy rate AND the highest abortion rate.  It's important to ...

SeekingHisPeace: pyhiG: I'm not deciding for other parents.  You are correct in saying that and I agreed.  However, you can decide for yourself as a parent wether you want to support the store or not.  My point was that parents can make a decision for their own children without forcing their decison on ...

Grand Illusion:For some reason, my second-to-last post only shows the first line.  What I was saying is that from what I've seen, nothing sold there actually depicts sex acts. It's all partially-clad people 70's PG movie-style that doesn't show any private parts, and the toys don't describe how to use them.  I don't think any of these ...

SeekingHisPeace: Firstly, I am SHOCKED that you would post links to sexually explicit material on Family Life forums. Secondly, you have no way of knowing for certain that those things are accessible by children unless you visit the store yourself.  http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/video?id=5984358 It's a shame that you're ...

SeekingHisPeace: pelerinage:Does it not even concern you what kids are being exposed to at this store?  Not really.  I went to the website and checked out the merchandize.  There is no PORN.  Playboy bunny ears on purses and t-shirts doesn't qualify as porn.  Posters of skimpily clad women doesn't qualify as ...
