You posted this today, in this thread. Nowhere is there any mention of Russia, and since you live in America I assumed you were supporting decency laws in this country. Stupid me I guess.... I wasn't around much this summer, I must of missed the Great Russian Homosexual Debate of 2013.

Well, I do agree with them that I don't want little Billy seeing two dudes assram each other while he's eating his Frosted Flakes. But in the real world, it's just not something that's going to happen, precisely because of what they are arguing. Societal norms wouldn't allow that network to...

Lol, sure thing dude.

I live in America, vote in America, and for the sake of this argument am only concerned with America. What does Russia have to do with legislating decency laws in America?

Dildo companies don't pay enough in ad revenue to keep one of the big networks on the air. Come on dude. NBC, ABC, CBS, or Fox can't stay on the air advertising Sphincterine to 100,000 people, which is what would happen if they started showing porn. You are getting absurd now.

Where are you going where children are being involuntarily exposed to offensive material against the wishes of their parents?

Why are so you being so dense? GOVERNMENT censorship of non snuff porn is UNNECESSARY. As soon as NBC shows a couple dudes blowing each other in prime time, they lose every single sponsor, 100% of their ad revenue, and 90% of their viewership and promptly leave the airwaves because they are...

Because 85% of the country labels themselves Christian and it permeates every aspect of our society. Are you really that out of it that you don't see the undue influence religion has on our society?

I know the conversation is moving fast and furious, but never did I explicitly state that decency=morality. I will restate my argument simply to make it clear: Government censorship is bad in all forms because it is too subjective and too easily manipulated by the powers that be. You...

Considering half of our country doesn't even believe in evolution/science/biology, that's hardly an argument for the establishment of the thought police. It's like you completely disregard the fact that the teatards and religious nuts won't use those tools that you are so willing to give...

You are the only one talking about morals dude. You're arguing against yourself. Perhaps you forgot what a democracy is. A democracy isn't some magical society where you are guaranteed to never be offended.

I would love it if you could find where I advocated children being forced to be exposed to gay propaganda. That falls under the parents responsibility. OF course I don't want the gay pride parade running in front of elementary schools. But I also don't want Jesus freaks preaching in front of...

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.
