Western Taliban
Western Taliban
Weston is no place for getting down on the dance floor.
The city has no nightclubs or dance halls and, thanks to a new ordinance, it never will.
The commission specifically banned those kinds of businesses, and skating rinks, to prevent a temporary rink from being used conceal a nightclub or dance hall, said City Manager John Flint.

Also from the link posted above:
Heaven forbid these folks should be able to choose . . .The reason for the city's ban: Crime and crowds.
Nightclubs, dance halls and skating rinks all attract "large crowds" on a nightly basis, the new law says, which can cause traffic and noise problems for residents and businesses nearby and strain city resources.
And, the newly passed ordinance points out, there have been numerous recent calls to the Broward Sheriff's Office about alcohol and narcotics use at nightclubs in the county.
These and other "unlawful and/or undesirable activities" at the nightclubs and dance halls in nearby cities made Weston want to change its code, Flint said.
Violence at nightclubs is on the rise throughout South Florida.
Last year, there were at least nine instances of gunfire in or around South Florida nightclubs, more than twice the number of the year before. In the past decade, 20 lives, nearly all young people, were ended by gunfire in or near a nightclub.
And since 2002, five people — four in Broward, one in Palm Beach County — have been killed in nightclub stabbings.

What next, Football? I hear they have large crowds that can get out of control.

Re: Western Taliban
Well this is scary. I imagine in no time Weston will be cover for terrorist organizations.
Censorship isn't necessary
Free choice in a free nation . . .
Never ceases to amaze me that some people want to dictate what other free people decide is and isn't in their own best interests. How big a town is Weston? Do they not have the right to decide as a community what they wish to allow within their sphere of authority, or must they check to see whether their tastes are offending someone?Typhoon wrote:Never ceases to amaze that some people are so concerned that someone, somewhere may be having fun.
Welcome to The City of Weston
Weston is a family-oriented, master-planned community that strives to embrace each and every resident. Weston’s well managed growth has given rise to one of South Florida’s most desirable communities, both residential and corporate.
With a culturally diverse population, Weston is comprised of the finest residential neighborhoods, and a diverse corporate, commercial and retail environment. We are a safe community with A-rated public schools, superior parks and recreational facilities, a progressive government that is financially strong and a community-wide appearance that cities around the world wish to emulate.

The article you linked referred to an American community's freedom to govern itself under American law.
If Weston ranks, in your estimation, as some sort of "Western Taliban," how about my city, Soldotna, Alaska. We won't allow adult bookstores. What does that make us—Al Quaeda? Come on up . . I'll introduce you to our Chamber of Commerce.
Scotland is free . . . and so are we . . .

Love the Newspeak.

Hilarious.

No, the real Newspeak is the Taliban who want to force their personal preferences on a free people in the name of license. Where do you live, Tinker? Up here we elect our city council and borough assembly members. We decide who writes our ordinances, and folks like you, who happen to get your panties in a wad 'cause you don't agree, have no right to dictate your preferences to us. This is a free country, even if you don't like it.
Taliban? Take a look in the mirror:
