Maybe the 250 fundies and the commissioners can dig into their own pockets and pay for the legal expenses arising from this stupidity. Way to make a stand, guys! Maybe next time try writing a decent ordinance first, not arbitrarily denying a license, or modifying your the same half-azz ordinance after someone applies. What an alarming lack of leadership or common sense.

Businesses like Starship and other adult-type places love litigation because they win the vast majority of the time and get a ton of free publicity from it. The Starship CEO lives in Coweta and is going to fight this until he wins and makes the commission look like the dumb hicks they are.

it's funny because as someone mentioned there is blatant porn in coweta county's gas stations (literally just right up the road from the establishment in question.) I went into one of the stations the other day and right there by the register BAM videos of all sorts. So yeah, this really is kind of ridiculous. All these bible thumping idiots don't seem to get that it's already all over the place. How is this starship being in an already kinda sketchy/gross part of town going to affect anything other than bring in a small bit of taxes for the county? Get a grip, jeez. I can see if it were Peachtree City, even I would vote no for that. But Newnan? Really? C'mon folks. Stop kidding yourselves.

The group that is. Of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship fame. I saw them during the "Knee Deep in the Hoopla" tour. It was a decent time. It begs the question. If Starship the group "built this city on rock and roll" did Starship the store built their business on "pot and porn"?

This will be an interesting fight that makes me glad I am watching from Fayette County.

I had to go to Ol' Nat'l last week just to buy a new bong, I mean "fine ta'baccy product" U can't say "Bong" in the store. They do have rules & standards after all.

buy your porn over the internet, people.

county commission in Coweta county? It sure seems like it, making up the rules as they go along.

I'm not for or against a "Sex" shop (which I highly doubt it is). I am for free enterprise and capitalism. If you want to open a business and you follow the rules, you should be able to. Mr. Rogers (how ironic is that) played by the rules and is still being denied the ability to operate his business. It appears the Coweta Commissioners gave in to a small but loud group, that oppose the shop on emotional grounds, rather than following the "RULE of LAW" and issuing the business license based on Starship meeting all of the requirements to do so.

What's next? Will business owners be denied the opportunity to establish a legal businesses if enough people stand up and cry? How about we go and protest any new restaurant wanting to obtain a business license in Coweta County? They sell food, people over eat, they get obese and have heart disease, and some die! People are getting killed by restaurants. They shouldn't be allowed a business license.

I hope Mr. Rogers wins his court case...where do I donate to help his cause?

That is the sound of tax dollars going down the drain. Mr. Kelley will win in the end. He always does. My thoughts are that Coweta is not the capital of the Bible Belt but the commissioners believe that they are the buckle. People will just continue to drive out of county to spend their money. So... in a nut-shell, there are lost tax dollars that will go to attorneys and lost tax dollars being spent out of the county!

now that the Times Herald has closed commenting on their story of this, that all the naysayers and teetotalers will be coming here to post. Let me begin by saying that with this decision, Coweta has plunged into a socialist state, where they can dictate what we do behind closed doors. They spout the evils of pornography that is sold in a restricted access store, yet they do nothing about Bully Ball and his graphic shock photos at every public event (pictures that some people get off on just as if they were porn themselves). You cannot change the rules in mid-game, yet Coweta chose to do so and will lose dearly in the end, and cost the taxpayers a ton of money on top of what has already been wasted. If the business was going to fail, let it fail. If it thrives, then we have succeeded in adding at least a dozen jobs to the area and increased tax revenue as well, regardless of what it sells.
