New town to be squeaky clean: no porn and no birth control

NAPLES, FLA. - If Domino's Pizza founder Thomas S. Monaghan has his way, a new town being built in a quiet corner of southwest Florida will be governed by strict Roman Catholic principles, particularly when it comes to sex.

The Ann Arbor pizza magnate, raised by nuns in orphanages, is bankrolling the town called Ave Maria with millions of dollars, calling its construction "God's will.'' Stores won't sell pornographic magazines, pharmacies won't carry condoms or birth control pills, and cable television will carry no X-rated channels, he said in a speech last year to the Boston Catholic Men's Conference.

Civil libertarians say the plan is unconstitutional, and they promise lawsuits.

The town is being constructed around the Monaghan-founded Ave Maria University, which has its roots in the soon-to-be-closed Ave Maria College in Ypsilanti. Monaghan had originally proposed building the university at Domino's Farms in Ann Arbor Township but switched to Florida after meeting resistance here, including opposition to a plan to build a 250-foot tall crucifix.



GOOD OLD TOM. WE SURE MISS HIM IN MICHIGAN (NOT)

[geckosfeet]

1. Ha ha. Will there be no people? eom

[rodeodance]

2. dah!!

[yourout]

3. New town to be very empty.

When push comes to shove most Americans would not want to live there.

[phantom power]

4. hope their coat-hangers are squeaky clean too.

[CottonBear]

Will the town have sex police force?

I'm just asking...someone's going to have to enforce the rules. :evilgrin:

[1gobluedem]

5. I say let him build it...

...then let all the fanatical fundies go live there so they're all in one place instead of trying to wreak havoc all over the country.

I worked at Domino's HQ in the 80s. He was nuts then and is more so now.

[SaveElmer]

6. They will soon overpopulate their community...

If they go by traditional catholic teachings...the Catholic church wants you to breed like bunnies if you are married. Probably be the biggest city ini Florida before long!!!

[Ben Ceremos]

44. What happened to the Disney

corporate town? The people who were so carefully chosen to live in the nightmare are unhappy, have filed claims against Disney and have altered all the rules for living in Helltown (not the real name). Disney has withdrawn support and sold it to some other corp. These Pullman towns are a real throwback and the desperate act of people who are afraid of the world. This too shall fail. Ave Maria, ain't that some sort of bird? I like...birds.

7. Remind me to visit and have a 3-way.

25. Watch Out!

You may have to pay child support.:evilgrin:

[sui generis]

8. or what, you go to jail? you get fined? you get beheaded?

Who is doing all the checking? Does the town have random porn and rubber raids?

Vee heff reazn to beleeff zat you heff been practicing ze berss Kontrol. You vill be punished! Und now is ze time on shprockets ven vee look for porn.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Hello, unwed motherhood and backalley abortions

and a city filled with shame and decay, rampant wife and child abuse, socially constructued shackles that cause putrifaction, not purity, and wildly enflamed adultery, incest, rape, and violence.

I think the people suing should sop suing, and let this fucking abomination of an execrable experiment in social fundamentalist assholery take root, develop, show a quick promise of working, and then fail utterly and catastrophically as is its only logical conclusion.

This might be a good way to get the fundies and the sex-obsessed religious assholes to finally shut up, after they see the disaster that will happen in this planned community of purity and wholesome values.

Of course, after this anti-Christian shithole dies a miserable and violent death, the fundies will simply proclaim that it failed not on its own merits, but because they keep the citizenry away from the "sodom" of the surrounding country.

Managhan, you are a disgusting useless fuck.

[Fridays Child]

22. If only children didn't stand to be harmed by this experiment in...

...social engineering, I should think it would be quite entertaining to observe. I wonder if any researchers are going to keep stats on the various types of crime that will be perpetrated there.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

34. in all honesty do you think kids whose parents are this nuts

would not be adversely affected even if they did not live in a town this misogynistic?

[Hardrada]

15. I REALLY Resent Calling Birth Control Unclean or Dirty

Equating birth control with pornography is more than silly; it is the sign of a seriously deranged mind.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

28. you are on the right track. remember the guy doing this, though,

and you can see why.

[oneighty]

16. Thank you Demeter

I am honored.

11. Read The Handmaid's Tale By Margaret Atwood

Fiction portends reality.

[Avalux]

13. Has everyone seen "The Village"?

Will be amusing to see this experiment fail. :-)

[ET Awful]

37. Well, the Village was a bit different, it was a bunch of people who'd

had family members lost to violent crime who decided to disconnect from society completely as a result.

This jackass is already disconnected from reality :P

[MGKrebs]

14. ..but plenty of valium and oxycontin I suppose.

[kenny blankenship]

17. Sounds like a great place to hand out condoms

[Gidney N Cloyd]

18. How did this guy become so rich selling such bad pizza?

[denverbill]

19. There's already a city like that. It's called Tehran. Move there. n/t

[still_one]

20. if it is build on strict Roman Catholic principles

[xultar]

[Megahurtz]

27. Don't forget

inbred baby breedin'.....

:sarcasm:

[onehandle]

23. Catholics don't care about this shit. What he will attract are crazies.

Pen them all up in one place. Fine by me.

I'm Catholic, by the way, and I certainly don't give a shit about this whackjob's hellhole.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

33. i agree. not too many catholics will want to live segregated like this

but the crazies will...

[Massacure]

24. DU should hold a purchase land around it and build a big wall.

[NashVegas]

26. "Raised By Nuns in Orphanages"

This guy's gotta be all kinds of fucked up.

[Megahurtz]

29. Sounds like a new "Waco-Type" Cult or something.

:crazy::freak:

[porphyrian]

30. Fuck it, let 'em do it.

That town will be dead in two generations.

[William Bloode]

31. Oh jeebus!

A perfect name for such a squeaky clean town would be Hell. reminds me of an Elizabeth Taylor quote. Something to the effect that she did not mind if someone had no vices, but that people with no vices most often had some very annoying virtues.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. part of me says ...this is great...let the crazies hang around each other

leave the rest of us alone with condoms/birth control and reproductive choice.

you people feel like living like wild animals...go ahead indulge yourself!

[thinkingwoman]

35. oh boy, utopians!

It's been awhile since there was a big utopian movement in the U.S. This should be fun to watch!

:popcorn:

[JTorres138]

36. If sex is gonna be based on "strict Catholic principles" ...

... those kids better watch their backs, literally.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

38. rofl!

:rofl:

sacrilegious but oh so funny!

disclaimer: i mock all religions!

[Hardrada]

41. Me too (Except I am very serious about Zen because

a strict Zen diet might help me lose weight. LOSE weight, people, not loose weight!!

[Toots]

42. SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX Why would God ever invent such a Horror?

:shrug: What warped out people there are in this world.

[HockeyMom]

43. Should do WONDERS for the Tourist Trade

Why would anybody want to live there? Especially to the tune of $500,000 for a single family house? Hello? If you DON't use birth control or STERILIZATION (#1 birth control among married people), how the hell are you going to afford a $500,000 house with TEN KIDS "according to GOD'S Will" unless you are a MILLIONAIRE?

My soon to be "ex" husband lives there. They cannot get teachers. firefighters, police to move there because of the low salaries and the HIGH cost of living. They actually talked about building low cost housing for teachers ABOVE the school parking lots. That should "solve" the problem. ROFL

They are a joke and the rest of the country can see it. I say that as somebody who has a daughter majoring in Education whose father lives there. Her boyfriend, already teaching in NY WITH a Masters Degree AND an Aunt who lives in Naples, BOTH say NO WAY to moving and teaching there.

[sleipnir]

45. My question. Does Tom get to be the Grand Inquisitor, too?

Oh...I hope so!

I can't wait until he brings back the Inquisition!

This place sounds like a fun cesspit of lawsuits waiting to happen.
