[edit] Why the inappropreate picture?
...or is that a crossdressers' stag party? 68.4.25.202 01:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)John D.
IMO: these events made far more sense back in the 50's, when marriage was the time when you become tied down to the support of a lifetime wife and kids. What with divorce and two income families, it's a little passe. Pmurray bigpond.com 04:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- while tempted to take this bait for a discussion on people's commitments to the oaths they take, i shall decline as that the discussion pages were really meant to discuss the article not our culture. Cavebear42 16:06, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
I fail to see how they ever make sense, when even among the most liberal people, this sort of activity is usually forbidden to a man with a -girlfriend- not just a wife... and certainly one with a fiancee.
[edit] Prague?
The article states that Prague is the capital of UK stag parties. But i'm pretty sure that it's actually Amsterdam and NOT Prague (for obvious reasons, not to mention that the city is closer to the UK) Superdude99
Prague might be cheaper... Ericd 18:10, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
Well according to the website [1] they list the top 10 stag destinations and Edinburgh comes top, which seems to make more sense.
Yes, Prague is much cheaper for beer, (57p-ish a pint!) it's very liberal, and the women are gorgeous! (no citation to that one!) Ade1982 02:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Maastrict
Looking at the geography, and the fact it's not as liberal as say, the Northern port of Amsterdam, I fail to see how this is a well known spot for UK stags? Ade1982 02:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sparta??
"The history of bachelor party is thought to have originated with a bachelor dinner that was traditional in ancient Sparta (5th century) where soldiers would toast each other on the eve of a friend’s wedding."
These bachelor party's are far more recent and originated in the US. Who believes that it came down from Greco-Roman times?!!
- This tradition is spread throughout European cultures and their diaspora, such as Australia and the US, not the other way around.Nazlfrag 17:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Regardless of how we feel about the state of affair of Bachelor Parties, this state needs some sort of verification or citation.
Also, I am assuming this is 5th century BC, so I am changing it to reflect this fact. Unless of course there were some other neo-Spartans I am unaware of.
