Or alcohol, for that matter.
I don't think this incident has much to do with "America culture." It's just a bouncer being an idiot... |
We as a society still treat sex as a taboo. Case in point, Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson incident. |

she doesn't. But you don't understand American culture. The culture is extremely afraid of alcohol (as well as nudity/sex and smoking). The paranoia is so widespread that even mature people are carded. |
I mean if she was in her twenties or thirties then I'd understand. But some old fart getting ID'd? I mean I know the guy can get fired for letting someone who isn't 21 inside but if you can clearly see the person is over the drinking age why not let them in? Maybe he knew who she was and didn't want to let her in lol. |

It's just that some people are so dumb that they follow rules mindlessly (don't let anyone in without ID) without grasping the actual point behind them (don't admit anyone under twenty-one). |
One of my favourite sayings is "rules are for the strict observance of fools and the guidance of the intelligent".
Did anyone consider the club didn't want a 61 year old inside, so they came up with the easiest excuse? |

| I'm pretty sure it was a regular bar rather than a club. |

Yep, there aren't any clubs in olympia really (lived there for 9 years.) Not much of anything there tbh. |

maybe because on prime time television its ok to show someones head getting blow off, but a little tit is sacrilege? |

I think what this really indicates is that a lot of Americans are hypocritical, not that they "hate sex." In private, Americans have a big appetite for porn -- at least judging by the size of the porn industry here -- and yet many of them express "outrage" at a bare breast on prime-time television. |

it all part of the "things that are taboo and not socially acceptable turn me on" factor.
kinda like dubfire.
i get on primetime.
winrar
edit: i am not saying americans are afraid of sex, but trust me when i say that america is not even close to being as open about it as much of the western world. As a frog clovis, tu deverais savoir ca.
the british are pretty brutal too, but i understand that because of the hideous women that exist in england:p |
