TALK BACKS: Cursing in Bars

By KSPR News

In Friday's Download segment we talked about cursing in bars. The Missouri city St. Charles proposed banning foul language in bars. We asked you if think swearing and rowdy behavior should be banned. You can still join in the discussion by leaving your comment below. Here are your Talk Backs...

“No” –Charles

“Well no it shouldn't its a bar thats wut happens there”

“Yes, I believe that rowdy behavior should be banned in bars, because the majority people that go to them, go to relax. However, it should be the bar owner's decision, therefore, there would be a veriety of different atmospheres available to the customers.” –Kevin

“I belive that if we continue to allow the law makers to infringe our rights, they will never stop. These law makers actually think that they are helping us by taking away our abilities to make decisions. The owners of these bars have to acomadate all different types of people, and they have rules and policies already in affect for these types of situations. We should allow these owners to run their bars the way they want to. Also some bars have girls dancing on the bars as entertainment, and that is why we go there.” –Jason

“No”

“NO We don't think this should happen”

“Swearing in any venue shows a strong sense of "intellectual malnutrition" and yes it should be banned. It's shows a lack of respect for the person using it, as well as the people hearing it.” –Joan

“You know, you go to a bar, you probably should be prepared to hear some cursing. On the other hand, nothing can ruin an evening out with friends faster than a group of foul mouthed, rowdy fools....but who says every foul mouthed fool is drunk? You can't legislate manners any better than you can legislate morality.” –Andrea

“If you cant swear in a bar, of all places...then where should you go to "vent" ur emotions?” –Daniele

“I would rather the bars have the cussing then them being where there are children.”

“The idea of banning foul language, drinking contests, etc. not only is likely to be a suppression of freedom of speech; but places an untenable burden on bar owners and workers. It is almost impossible to legislate morality and it should be left up to bars to take action against those violating laws already in place. The morality issue must be determined by society in general and not by legislation. “

“I think it is ridiculous to ban foul language in bars, people who go to bars are out to have a good time. It's not like they are in a church. I hear foul language in restaraunts, grocery stores and other public places, I may not agree with foul language, but what about our right to freedom of speech.” –Barb, Hollister

Ridiculous! Come on people... We are adults and this is a free country. I'd be more in favor of banning kids from bars than the language and behavior allowed there. If you don't want to hear it or see it... 2 words; "don't go!!!" Let the rest of us have some fun in peace or we'll be coming to your house to party!
