Strip clubs are sometimes shut down on the basis of the public good. The argument is made that they are detrimental to public morals, exploit women or are centers of drug use or prostitution. I have always felt if you do not like something, the best thing to do is direct your attention or money elsewhere. This is true whether it involves strip clubs, prostitutes, drugs, gambling, the Jimmy Kimmel show, Bud Light or Guess jean ads, the Snow White remake, Charlie Kirk speeches, rap songs advocating violence, etc. We create the society we want to live in by how we spend our money.

last commentYeah, I'm there with you. Although, I'm not ready to switch the channel on Sydney Sweeney ads. I did buy some AE jeans, and I was impressed with the quality and fit, and price was great. I was surprised.

I personally believe that the public moral values of strip clubs are better than they used to be, and not because they have personally improved. It’s because other industries have gotten worse.

I think when it comes to their intended purpose. Strip clubs offer a legal, needed outlet for some vices.

I'm with you to a point. Some people, particularly children, need some sort of filter or boundaries until they're old enough to sort through the various vices on their own. And parents should be that first, most influential filter, not politicians or teachers or clergy -- parents. It's their children, it's their responsibility.

@PhantomGeek its the government that decides. If parents were showing their kids porn, or allowing them to drink or smoke, they would just have the kids taken away?

Causation or correlation? Strip clubs are typically in the shittiest part of town. (With the notable exception of Washington DC where Archibalds and Camelot are in the middle of the high rent NW DC business district). But are strip clubs in shitty parts of town because they’re strip clubs? Or is that part of town shitty because the strip clubs are there?
