Well, I wasn't referring to a strip club, usually men WANT women in a strip club unless it's _____club.

I realize this is a privately funded forum, nevertheless the tentacles of our laws extend into the crevices of private corporations. I am unaware of any private clubs that have the power to supercede the Bill of Rights?

Is it lawful to ban individuals who intimidate the scripturally weak? Is it further lawful to censure threads that speak against the Administration?

If we were in Cuba I would understand.

Tell ya what, SS, why don't you go see an attorney, and see if he agrees that your "inalienable rights" have been violated, and then come back and let us know what he/she has to say about the matter. And good luck with that.

Or, you could just go do something profitable with your day instead of exploiting your own boredom with negativity and stupidity. :newyear

The bill of rights does not necessarily govern our individual relationships with one another.

The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to establish certain areas (or rights) that an individual has in relation to the government of the United States of America.

Did anyone take a civics course in highschool?

It wasn't that long ago that blacks were not allowed on some golf courses in the south or in the country clubs even though those clubs had private rules. I understand we are guests, but can the "homeowner" make rules that violate our civil rights?
