Proposal would ban cussing in bars
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — Shoot. Heck. Doggone it. Those words may soon be about as harsh as it gets at bars in St. Charles.

The St. Louis-area town is considering a bill that would place strict restrictions on bars. No table-dancing. No drinking contests.

And no cussing.

City officials say it's needed to keep rowdy crowds under control. They say the historic downtown area gets a little too lively on some nights.

2. What a stupid idea
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 12:29 PM by YOY
Now if there were a proposal that would ban ASSHOLES from my bar than I'd be happy.

At least they can't use the "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" line here...

6. Well, fudge
and gol dab flab platz it. If you can't enjoy your sixth beer during the game and tell the ref just what you think of that last call in a bar, you might as well be home alone where you can let fly in front of the wife and kids.

That big screen TV is nice. You can sit closer to your own small screen set and cuss. My guess is that's what the law will achieve.

9. I agree completely, but I don't think they're going far enough.
They should also ban drinking in bars. That would really keep those rowdy crowds under control.

Oh, and probably should put in a curfew on the weekends. Maybe 10 pm.

13. isn't that like- unconstitutional?
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 12:39 PM by QuestionAll
sure, you can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theatre(unless there is one), but that's because it puts people's lives at risk....cussing in a bar doesn't.

17. Merde! Scheiss!!
It's heartening to know that the town is adopting either (1) an "english only" policy, or (2) an extensively multilingual law enforcement task force.
