When your 8 year old daughter wants to know what kind of store it is and why she can't go in there since it seems so popular, let me know - because THAT'S what thousands of parents are having to deal with. The "vibrator" discussion usually doesn't happen between kid and parent. Religion really doesn't enter into it - I just metioned there's a lot of religious money there. I doubt the Atheist wants to explain to little Janie what an adult sex store is either.

And dude, there are 40+ year olds like yourself who shop there and buy sex toys for teens (18-19). Don't be jealous that you don't have a trench coat

Yeah, last thing we'd want is parents to take care of their own kids. Let's make sure we get as much government and regulation involved to try to protect us from ourselves and throw individualism, personal freedom and self responsibility right out the window so we can live in a nice safe government controlled environment.

There's no "window displays". I'd need to refresh myself on exactly what the sign says, but it's something like adult novelties and gifts. The one in norcross also mentions something about smoke as their's a head shop in the back. They sell water pipes...not bongs, but water pipes.

I'm pretty sure my parents would've answered with "that's a store for grown ups".

Which would have even MORE intrigued you to get in there - as with most kids

What's the age limit of who can enter the store?

Interesting since "Cornetta says he doesn't qualify as an adult store, by less than 25% of his inventory being adult oriented." yet not even adults - 18 year olds - are allowed in.

Liquor stores have product that is only intended for adults as well, should we move all of them out of Johns Creek as well?

Children are allowed in liquor stores if they are accompanied by an adult. And there are TONS of laws about when liquor stores can be open and where they can be located. Not to mention there are a LOT of areas in GA where there are no liquor stores - because the people don't want them there. Ellijay just had a pour by the drink vote for liquor and it was voted down. Let the people vote if they want an adult store there or not. Going by the town meetings, they aren't wanted there.

Seriously, remember, I WAS one of those housewives in what's now John's Creek and the equally snobby East Cobb. The demographics there wouldn't be caught dead in that store. They WILL drive to the one in Norcross or Sandy Springs, but they don't want to run the risk of anyone they know seeing their car in the lot. Most order over the internet anyway.

And these same housewives likely would not approve of pornographers living in their neighborhood either even though it's in our own homes and not bothering anyone. And you can bet they'd flip totally out if there was a child living in the house.

Same things that protect John J's ability to do what he does allows us to do what we do as well.

And the same people you're agreeing with would consider any one of us to be pond scum because of our relationships to the porn biz.
