May I add, that if your 10-year-old son knows what kind of clothes a "working girl" wears, or even what a "working girl" is, you can stop trying to protect him from Hooter Girls.

Not taking anythig personal, I just disaree that children on a school trip be brought to Hooters for lunch. 12. 13 14, not children of their own they over stepped period!

Working girls, a docmentary we watched as a family with many scenes skipped on how woman and young children of the world have to sell them selves to survive. BIG DIFFERENCE WAITRESSING BECAUSE IT IS EASY CASH FROM 21-35. My son also knows about white/sex slavery, that does not mean we allow him to go and say lets have bobies and bad food. Education and expopsure are two totally different things.

The waitress at hooters are dressed like that for one reason, to be googled at! NOT A HABIT HIS FATHER, 22 YEAR OLD BROTHER NOR ONE HE POSSESS!

Period, I aslos do not really care about what everyone else thinks I expressed my opinion clearly

This thread truly shows the divide on us transplants...and that IMHO is a good thing!

I guess if you don't have the "boobs" you don't get the job.

Whoa, Nellie! Us transplants? Are you painting yourself and the other non-natives as some special group with higher values?


I arrived here after living in some large, cosmopolitan metro areas. At no time during my tenure here have I ever brought up the fact that I am somehow different from anyone else because of prior residence. Nor do I presume that I am somehow better because of what I believe as opposed to what opinions others hold.


And your opinion may be many things, but it is never humble.

puhleeze--raging teenage hormones will rage anywhere--once caught some of my aftercare teens drooling over teeny boobs that excited them in pictures of(ready for this---young ballet dancers in full body leotards---ya all need some lessons on teen and preteen kids hormones

You can say what you want, but a school doesn't belong taking kids to Hooters, bottom line, it's wrong, no matter what way you want to look at it.

As a future parent I would not be concerned with taking my pre-teen son and/or daughter to lunch at Hooters. With that being said, however, I would never take another parent's child or children to Hooters to accompany my own child or children without explicit permission from their parents.

Everyone has divergent perspectives on child-rearing, with some obviously being much more conservative than others. My parents were conservatives who ended up raising two liberal children. My partner and I may be liberal parents who, in turn, raise conservative children.

It's neither my place nor position to overstep my boundaries in exposing another person's offspring to environments that other parents may find to be inappropriate. As for me my father took me to a Hooters in Pittsburgh when I was about 12 or 13, and I wasn't traumatized.
