You do. I do. Mikhail does. Zyyz does. Everyone chooses every time they turn on the TV. Or turn it off. No one is forcing you to watch it. Simple as that. If you think we need more goddamn subjective laws to keep porn off NBC then you are delusional. First time that happens, they lose...

Are those not examples of censorship?

It was that pic of the old racists in the 50's protesting race mixing. You've seen it a million times.

Not that ANY censorship is harmful. Of course you as a parent censoring what your child is exposed to is a good thing. But the Government censoring the media and deciding what we can and can't watch is a bad thing. I honestly don't see how that's even in argument in this day and age...

Community standards. What could ever go wrong there?

Who the fuck is making that argument? You don't need decency laws to keep porn off NBC. The public backlash and removal of all ad revenue would take care of that.

Wow, i'm an extremist because i think fining a morning news show for doing a friggin Miley Cyrus story is completely pants on the head retarded? Right. I'm not the one that needs a little perspective in this argument. But carry on high-fiving each other as if you've won some great battle in...

Ok, so they get fined if Miley is fully clothed but just suggestively posing? Do they get fined if its Scarlett Johanesbergenstein instead? What if its Scarlett in a nonsuggestive pose, but shes wearing a skirt that's too short or has too much cleavage? Who's gonna delineate exactly who...

Ok fine. No i don't want NBC airing hardcore porn at 8. Do you want some republican appointed chairman of the FCC banning the Teletubbies from TV because some religious idiots think they are promoting a gay lifestyle?

So privately funded media should be regulated just like publicly funded television. Awesome. So in your world, what would be the appropriate fine to be levied against a morning news show airing Miley Cyrus footage?

Oh for fucks sake. Hyperbole much? Why do you hate freedom so much?

Im just asking how the hell do you legislate censorship rationally? That's all. Give me an example where it's worked and hasn't been twisted and corrupted to favor the views of whoever is in charge at the time.

The same community that can't decide whether the nation should default on its debts because there's a mooslim in charge? Ya sounds sensible.

So again, I'll ask the question. How do you rationally regulate the media in a free society? Who decides what's acceptable and what's not acceptable? In your world regulating the media is comparable to regulating our food and medicine??? Really? Wow, looks like someone put their Merlin...

I don't think anyone wants to see pancake ass on the morning news, but since the the discussion was decency laws, AKA - legislating morality, please describe to us a rational way of making laws to keep baby Zyyz from being exposed to the day's whore du jour on the morning news?

I have a seven year old daughter, not once have I ever said "more censorship please".

PS. I don't give a flying fuck what Russia does. Its none of my biz, yo.

Decency laws? WTF man, who the fuck is in charge of deciding what's decent and what's not decent? Decency laws are the ultimate be careful what you wish for, slippery slope situation. First the thought police go after teh gays, ok fine, whatever. After that, emboldened by their new power...

Ya the 'think of the children' argument is pretty lame.

WTF^^

Colorado for sure! I'm applying to grad school in Ft. Collins, can't wait to get out of this red state shithole and its endless summers and droughts. The New Yankee Workshop is badass.

Hah hah you should see my avatar on Tiger Woods '13. Huge black dude with a Kid n Play high top fade and huge lips. Named Dick N Cider. I'm a child.

Well i wasn't going off on darkies in general, just the darkies that pray to Allah. Wasn't trolling. And I hate the bible thumpers and turrists' equally and believe they should both be eradicated off my beautiful, fragile, little planet.

Im almost 100% sure that was a sarcastic link by mikhail, hence the 'wat'. I doubt seriously he's advocating some homeopathic bullshit as a cure to ricin and anthrax. Maybe you are confusing him with garglechimp.

You're not serious are you?

Ya I was more annoyed when the derps talked about weaponizing the ricin with no idea whatsoever that you can't just simply insert ricin into your weapon of choice and expect a molecule with a size in the multiple thousand AMU's to not completely degrade, denature, or whatever the fuck when you...

I don't remember that, can you refresh my RAM on that? Honestly, I've never intentionally trolled anyone here. I've said stupid shit that I've later regretted, but never intentionally to troll someone.

Ya but still, even if they negotiated it down to 20k thats still $8k out of pocket, which when you take premiums into account is paying MORE than without insurance. This really is a steaming pile of shit.

Apparently I already netted him at some point in the distant past. How much reputation has to be spread before being able to re-net someone?

God damn that's fucked. What's the point of insurance if you still go broke? IF i total my car, I don't pay 40 god damn percent on top of the premiums I have already been paying. WTF.

So +nets to numbers is what the council has decided?

What pisses me off about this and I'm still not completely sure how it will work under Obummercare is the appendectomy i recently had. The total cost was like $84,000, but since i was uninsured i was able to negotiate that down to 13% for around $8000. If I would have had a Bronze plan, does...

Lol, ya. If they could only come together and fight for the common good. Tag teaming garglechimp for example.

/sigh It is true that people's out of pocket expenses on a month to month basis will go up for the first year when they first sign up for a shitty bronze plan. But its also true that those expenses will be reimbursed the next year that will then fund premiums for the upcoming year, and...

If they do it again in a year right before the midterms then that's game set and match. Dems win and win big.

Well, I guess they can't take the penalty out of my taxes since I'm not actually paying any. The ACA is a small step in the right direction, but the more I start really looking at it and see all the holes in it, the more I see it's really a pretty big steamer. Oh well, maybe by the time I'm a...

Not too mention the poor bastards that are below the poverty level and live in a state that didn't expand Medicaid aren't eligible for subsidized plans and can't get Medicaid. I'm sure it's unintended but with Congress being so dysfunctional, its not going to be fixed anytime soon either. As a...

It is kind of bullshit that the law says we have until Jan 1 to get signed up and the only portal to getting signed up is still pretty fucked. I was on there today and there are still problems.

The website and exchanges would stay live, just give people an extra year to sign up and avoid penalties, that's all. Work out the kinks over a period of 14 months instead of two months.

Honestly i think Obama should offer a one year delay on the mandate since the website is such a clusterfuck. It would give the Republicans in the House an out to get out of this mess, and the Dems could be seen as being flexible and working towards the people's best interests in the face of...
