OTTAWA - Group sex among consenting adults is neither prostitution nor a threat to society, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on Wednesday as it lifted a ban on so-called “swingers” clubs.

In a ruling that radically changes the way courts determine what poses a threat to the population, the top court threw out the conviction of a Montreal man who ran a club where members could have group sex in a private room behind locked doors.

See, next is the government paying for treatment of your STDs contracted while engaging in government-sanctioned group sex.

[Yo-Yo]

Take off!
To the Great White North!
Take off!
It's a beauty way to go!

Eh?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Also from the article...

"[The Supreme court] also dismissed the idea... that group sex was dangerous because it could result in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

“Sex that is not indecent can transmit disease while indecent sex might not,” they ruled.

Is this for real? A question for myself: Why does this surprise me?

[hoosierboy]

Can we send all our sex freaks and pedophiles up to canada, since they tolerate this sort of behaviour.

[Sociopathocracy]

I think that Slick Willie will be increasing the number os speaking engagements he books north of the border.

[byteback]

Is that where Seagrams got the name seven and seven?

A trip to the Great North is NOT necessary. It's legal in the US as well as long as its consenting adults.

Maybe Willy Clinton will finally move to Canada, now.

"It's legal in the US as well as long as its consenting adults."

Glad someone here is on the up..... and up.

[wallcrawlr]

This is a legitimate "Breaking News" story!!!!!

[Pimpmygop]

You mean Canada is like San Francisco now?

[Sax]

I thought the Islamics had the market cornered on trying to legislate morality.

Deviant and disgusting, but what consenting adults want to do in a private setting is their business.

I would say social pressures are more appropriate here than trying to create laws to deal with private behavior.

It already does that for smoking. What do you think happens to people who don't have health insurance that smoke?

“Sex that is not indecent can transmit disease while indecent sex might not,” they ruled.

Que sera sera.

[Pessimist]

I've seen this posted several times here today in one form or another.

Its dissapointing how few people here cheer the ruling rather than attacking it.

Do you really believe the court should have dictated behavior between consenting adults behind closed doors?

How conservative is that?

[WideGlide]

Now we know why the first 4 words of their National Anthem are "OH, OH, OH, CANADA"

[M203M4]

We had it illegal longer than you - nananananana.

:p

[The_Republican]

Canada offcially made legal what is already legal in US.

Those who live in Glass Houses....

[calljack]

i agree. Not the business of government in the first place.
