Loved your comment, Bob Orts!
Here's info from a recent news article (within the past week): "Some researchers have stated that the average age of exposure to pornography is down to 8. Before the days of the Internet, children were typically between the ages of 11 to 13 when they began by viewing soft-core pornography found in magazines like Playboy." The article goes on to say that the most frequent source for young children encountering porn is the internet.
This guy in Keaau upgraded the previous shop that his aunt had run for at least 10 years, I think. And she sold and rented adult videos all that time. The employees were always attentive; the store layout was such that the porn was in the farthest reaches of the shop and they didn't let kids go back there. What's the difference now and why didn't Shipman object to the previous store?
Glen, I don't WANT to use the internet for access to the types of things available in "adult" shops for several reasons, one being that I prefer to see and touch the Astroglide and various products and another being that I don't want my computer to be inundated with those pushing such products. I get enough such totally unsolicited in my junk mail...I'd hate to imagine how much of it I'd get if I actually went to one of those sites.
I think the shopkeeper is within his rights. Enjoyed the discussion.
BTW, there is a very popular bar BETWEEN the school and the shop. Why didn't Shipman object to that?
