Texas considers ban on sexy cheerleaders

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Ok Brian I know you like your sexy girls now!!

This could go way to far!! If it's too sexy then it's up to the school if they are only talking about HS. But Pro! Give me a break! I've gone to the Wisconsin State Pon Pom competition as my oldest daughters team once qualified I was awed by the talented girls and there was no sex or too sexy of performance preformed!

AUSTIN, United States (AFP) - Legislators in Texas, famed for its Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, considered legislation to ban 'sexually suggestive' performances in schools.

The law would ban dance routines by school cheerleaders at sports events that one politician said was like something out of a strip club.

Exposed midriffs and ever shorter shorts and skirts have particularly outraged some legislators.

"Some of them are just downright vulgar, something you would see at an adult club or something," said Joe Deshotel, a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, which is considering the bill. "The problem is in the eye of the beholder, I guess."

One of the co-authors of the bill, Republican Corbin Van Arsdale, said many parents want restrictions because they go to Friday night games to see young men clashing on the football field, not girls shaking their behinds on the sidelines.

"You've got children seeing things that their parents would rather them not see," said Van Arsdale.

Sounds gay to me, but then again he's republican.

Seriously, the sad thing about crap like this is everything is subjective. WHO's going to judge what is too suggestive or not? If they are concerned about their kids "seeing things that their parents would rather them not see", they better make dang sure they don't get to watch MTV, BET or VH1 either.

Yes, and this guy is a Democrat so he should know all about the 'adult clubs'.

Oh and yes, that statement was a little gay...

I question anyone who don't like to see a 17 yr old girl shakin her booty... I'm not gonna do anything about it because I have self control... but I'll be damned if I ain't gonna look.

barry this one is all for you

Looks like dertyclown understands exactly what this is about. Should we encourage these things for our children or at the very least NOT encourage? But you're right, it is everywhere. And it's everyones fault. It's all a downward spiral, and whoever tries to stop it gets ridiculed. I just hope there's one kids movie coming out this summer that doesn't have a cuss word in it or something sexually suggestive, but I'm not holding my breath. This point of view is from a father.

KBOB,

You and I are in agreement on everything except that moron dirtyclown's post. What's with you two?

I just thought it was funny/ironic that he's the one that pointed out what stuff like this is really all about, but most are too afraid/ashamed/or whatever to admit it. The age at which a person loses their virginity continues to get younger and younger. And our society is either actively or passively encouraging kids to have sex.

Posted by: barry2952

I just want to be on the record in stating that things have gone too far. I blame the parents for failing to communicate the proper values to their children. I blame the government for failing to set proper examples.

I am a product of a household where sex was not discussed at all. I had to learn all my perversions from street knowledge. Had my parents openly discussed what their expectations were for me I may have avoided some early failed relationships.

So, it's ironic that Dertyclown's moronic?

Posted by: Kbob

LOL! Well, if I do insult, I prefer to veil my insults with a little witticism. I have found that plausible deniability can save on a few burnt bridges. You, however, are old school and just say what you feel. I'm not at the old codger stage of my life yet, but give me time.

Posted by: barry2952

I don't think that being old has anything to do with it. I've been saying what's on my mind since I was wet behind the ears like dertyclown. I just call a spade a spade.

I just don't understand how you can get behind a scumbag that vandalizes things just for fun? You just don't seem the type.

So when your wife is gripy you call her the b word? Not me, that's a recipe for death. To each his own, though.

I really don't see how what I have posted has gotten behind him on anything. I recall the only time I stood up for him was when you were degrading his typing skills. Probably 90% of the people who visit this site can't type very well and don't post as a result. I was just encouraging them to do so. I tend to stick up for the little guy and those that I feel are wrongfully denigrated, that's all.

Posted by: MonsterMark

You know, because this is the politics section, I, I mean We, allow alot more leeway but I (We) cross the line at name calling. I don't care what the issue is with the other person. Please demostrate restraint and respect for fellow members.

And this is directed at everybody. Let's have fun but let's not denigrate into name calling. Please. That spoils the fun for everyone.

On a lighter note, I've been looking to buy 200,000 lightbulbs for a promotion. Anybody got an idea where I can get some?

Posted by: barry2952

You'll have to go to China or India for a good source of light bulbs. Way to go GWB! Largest trade imbalance ever!

If you curtail your bashing of everyone that doesn't agree with you I'll stop bashing morons.
