Memphis City Council member Shea Flinn wants the the city to study the idea of creating an ‘adult entertainment district’ for strip clubs and other sex-oriented businesses. He wants a committee to look into a possible location as well as answer the question whether “this is the right thing to do.”

Is it the right thing to do? Why or why not?

Even the term “Adult Entertainment” should be an oxymoron; what is so “Adult” about such entertainment? It gives a very bad and negative understanding to the term “Adult.” Teenagers would want to go there because it is the “Adult Thing” to do. Furthermore we have enough trouble in our beloved city, creating a zone for irresponsible entertainment is just another way of inviting trouble.
