"I think it's a good law," said Paula Nevels, 50, of Vicksburg. "I think (sex toy use) leads to pornography and that leads to our children being exploited. I think a lot of it is perverted, anyway."

Someone get this lady a Jack Rabbit.

[antiRepublicrat]

I think (sex toy use) leads to pornography and that leads to our children being exploited.

Tenuous at best, but unneccessary because she shows the real reason:

I think a lot of it is perverted, anyway.

She doesn't like it so no one should be able to have it, period. We're lucky this liberal git isn't in charge of everyone. Yes, she thinks liberal although the ban is seen favorably by many "conservatives."

I'm glad I have my "toolbox" stocked already. :)

[petitfour]

This is pretty funny. How many sex toy docs are there in MS? Do you have to go to the pharmacy to purchase sex toys, or do the sex toy docs keep a supply on hand???

[FreedomAvatar]

People who own sex toys shouldn't worry, Gladney said. "We're not going into people's houses," he said.

Yet.

But it is illegal to have sex toy parties where devices are sold from home, Gladney said.

Does that include Tupperware turkey basters?

[WKB]

I am sure SOME of the Doctors keep samples on hand.

[vetvetdoug]

Doctors and psychologists may prescribe sexual devices for their patients...
Damn, I have been missing the boat for years. The possibilities are endless....

[shadowman99]

Wow. I did realize MS had such firm laws. It sounds like there are going to be stiff penalties applied, leading to an ever rising outcry by civil libertarians.

This issue is too important to be left hanging. We must demand a disciplinary measures to whip these people into shape!

Any coincidence that Pfizer (Viagra) was added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average? That should definitely put a pop in the stock market!

[vin-one]

boy does this argument sound familar.......

[vin-one]

I thought this argument, just needs to change the word toy to MJ,
and a firefight would break out......

[Mr. Jeeves]

We're lucky this liberal git isn't in charge of everyone. Yes, she thinks liberal although the ban is seen favorably by many "conservatives."

Whether she really is a liberal or not, her thinking precisely mirrors Christian conservative thinking on the subject. It's apparently OK with a large portion of the public, liberal or conservative, to use government power to shut down things they happen not to like.

In the same way everybody is for cutting spending.
Just don't cut what "I" get.

"the state law thwarted the rights of customers to purchase adult toys."

Don't these people know about the internet?

When the state outlaws sex toys, only outlaws will have sex toys.

[robertpaulsen]

"boy does this argument sound familar......."

Really now. I thought you were in favor of states rights.

If this were a federal law, I would have a problem with it. But if the citizens of a state (or county, or city, or community) want to constitutionally ban sex toys (or strip clubs, or adult bookstores, or prostitution), that's their business. That's how they want to live.

Why should the citizens of a community be forced to put up with this? Don't they have rights, too?

[Lockbar]

"The ordinance divides Mississippians."

LOL, I just love that line. I think the law is weird, but I guess in Mississippi you have to be either pro or anti vibrator.

WHEN VIBRATORS ARE OUTLAWED, ONLY CRIMINALS WILL HAVE VIBRATORS!

[antiRepublicrat]

It's not about the constitutionality, but the liberal thinking that leads people to use the government to control the lives of other people even though their actions do no direct harm to the liberal complainers.

To get an idea of what I'm talking about, replace "spinster who hasn't been laid in 20 years" and "sex toys" with "PETA" and "hunting" or "Greenpeace" and "logging."
