I'm not usually the most political person in the world... and don't like to discuss it between friends...but this hits too close to home...

if they were trying to do something about unsolicited sexual content, like, say, you click on the google home page and kiddie porn plastered itself on your screen in one of those pop-up adds, i could see the point. but it seems as if they are targeting the kinds of things people look for, pay-per-views and shows like sex in the sity (well, DUH, of course there's sex in it!). it sounds almost too ridiculous, i dont' really think it'll go far. the prudes will try, sure, but the general public would never let it fly. at least, i hope they don't.

I'd like for them (those who are in the mad process of ridding the world of this "problem") to, just once, actually spell out what the big problem with porn is! They say there are victims...they say they are the children...but they never say exactly what befalls the victims when they see a boob or a pussy! Does there head explode? Do they suddenly go out and grab all the boobs they can get their hands on before they are stopped? What? What happens to them? I know parents can't control everything that their child sees...and the argument is that children shouldn't be subjected to this type of adult entertainment...and I agree. But, they can't ban the entire industry to the consenting adult population!!!! How dare they assume to speak for me and others who may like to look at "porn"???? And...if they go after one area of it all...where does it end? What about Soap Opera's? I've seen some pretty steamy stuff on them and children could possibly tune in and watch, should they be left at home alone one day!!!!

And another thing...

The FCC has NEVER spelled out what is obscene. They say we know it when we hear it/see it! It's like tomato and tom-ah-to. What's obscene to one can be perfectly fine to another! So...we have to get into the heads of the uptight FCC members and figure what they think will be obscene???? And...if that's not bad enough...it can be obscene in one venue and not in another. Example: Oprah Winfrey talks to teens about sex...Howard Stern talks to adults about sex...Clear Channel is fined for what Howard talks about on his show (he was talking about what Oprah had on her show) and drops Howard's show from 6 stations around the country. But...the FCC won't let Howard testify in court...they just fine him now (personally) whenever something on his show is taken as obscene to those in charge of the FCC. He is bleeped unmercifully now-a-days. And...for the exact same thing said on Oprah that was said on Howard's show...she is NOT fined and NEVER will be because...get this..."She is too popular a figure and we cannot fine such an icon"! I swear...that was the reasoning! OMFG!!!

OMG Eliza...you've opened Pandora's box on this one for me! No worries hun...I'll TRY and control myself!

But just know this...our rights as American's...our right to free speech and free choice (we can turn it off or tune it out if it offends) is being challenged! Those "in charge" are assuming to speak for the masses...without ever hearing what the masses want! They, now, only listen to the complaints...and totally ignore the petitions being sent up to Washinton (oh yeah, there are petitions). And...the so called "complaints", could be a continuous stream of written complaints and phone calls from one single source/person...and they count those 100's of complaint's from one source, not as one complaint...but as 100's!

I could go on and on...but my carpal tunnel is kickin in! LOL!

And AMEN Steph! Tommy Chong called Howard Stern from jail...to thank him for trying to call attention to the ludicrousness (word?...ok...it'll do) of his incarceration! Howard has been his advocate since before the sentencing!

All stuff to remember come November....

Yes indeed GingerV!

Behind it all...no matter what one might think...our "leader" is off on his ranch and "praying" that all this will be taken care of and his name be left out of it!

He might have thought this out further before he went up against Howard! I think he's regretting that move now!

I want to vote in the States!

Our country seems to be moving slightly leftwards after some high profile right-wingers. I feel calmer because of it.

My tongue sticks to your avatar.








Mind you ... I'm not complaining ... just trying to answer your question.

All hail the Patriot Act!!!!

I have said it before and I'll have to say it again. This is the kind of stuff that happens when good people stand by and do nothing.It is time to educate ourselfes as to what is going on often times behind the public's back.I hate to talk about politics and what our govt.is doing.Much rather talk about SEX... but if we don't discuss and spread the word,they'll get away with murder.Your computer has links to sites where you can sign ready made petitions regarding many matters including freedom of speach.GingerV is right....Remember this come November.Give me the present of a regime change for my birthday on the 24th.

All the money they're spending on trying to "save" us from the Big Bad Porn Monster would be better spent on getting Bin-Laden instead of the likes of Larry Flynnt. The only porn they really need to work to eliminate is "kiddie porn." Those children are the ones that need protection. Not consenting adults. Just think of all the money wasted on this by a man that truly frightens me........John Ashcroft. He's the best reason to really think about your vote in November.

Yeah! Ashcroft is truly frightning

If anyone has any misgivings about the Patriot Act, read the account of the man in Oregon who was detained without recourse, without counsel, and with no charges files because the FBI completely fucked up with a fingerprint identification on the Madrid bombing.

Could have been any one of us.

Compassionate conservative my ass.

hey steph... fellow smoker here, and i'd just like to tell you it is my opinion that mj will be legalized in our lifetimes all is not lost.
