  • law would make it Illegal to swear in Bar

    Unreal. I can see a noise law that kept bars from playing music extremely loud where it could disturb people outside of the club. And what would fall under "profane" music?

    Thank the nanny state for wanting to protect us from such vices

    Wonder who the up tight butt holes that complained were?

    Bill would ban swearing in bars

    Tue Jan 8, 4:53 PM ET

    What the ...? A St. Louis-area town is considering a bill that would ban swearing in bars, along with table-dancing, drinking contests and profane music. City officials contend the bill is needed to keep rowdy crowds under control because the historic downtown area gets a little too lively on some nights.

    City Councilman Richard Veit said he was prompted to propose the bill after complaints about bad bar behavior. He says it will give police some rules to enforce when things get too rowdy.

    But some bar owners worry the bill is too vague and restrictive, saying it may be a violation of their civil rights.

    Marc Rousseau, who owns bar R.T. Weilers, said he thinks the bill needs revision.

    "We're dealing with adults here once again and I don't think it's the city's job or the government's job to determine what we can and cannot play in our restaurant," Rousseau said.

    The proposal would ban indecent, profane or obscene language, songs, entertainment and literature at bars.

    A meeting to discuss the proposal is set for Jan. 14.

    Ban obscene literature?

    Yeah, that copy of Lolita or Clockwork Orange really deafens you, doesn't it.

    That is proof of the moralising intent of this, not 'public nuisance' nonsense.
