this whole indecency Bill is PISSING me off.
its one thing to try & regulate free over-the-air stuff like radio & network TV, but now these conservative fucks are trying to spread this to Cable/satellite TV & satellite radio that we PAY for??
Parents need to be parents & the senators need to back off…

So basically the conservatives, who are supposed to be for the smallest federal government possible, don’t believe their constituents are responsible enough to monitor what their kids watch on TV?
Modern conservatives aren’t conservatives, they’re Bible-powered fascists.
:down:
ehhhh… i guess… i mean, watching chris rock on comedy central saying fuck like a hundred times is overkill.
i’m not one for wanting to be censored… but when i have kids, i’d like to know they can watch TV and not see all that garbage… then again, it’s all BS because half of the influential shit on TV is ‘rated’ just fine, but is very one-sided…
fuck it… they just want something to bitch about.
that’s why we have the V-Chip. Lock everything you don’t want your kid to see.
If I had a cable channel, I’d run a half-hour program called “Chris Rock saying fuck 1800 times” in protest of this bullshit.
Just wait until they stop letting schools teach Shakespeare because of its violent and amoral themes…
i’m not for this arguement…if you have kids then you need to be a grown ass adult & a parent & monitor what they watch or talk with them & or have a relationship with them so they know what right & wrong.
my mom would let me watch pretty much whatever i wanted growing up, but i knew that i shouldn’t be dropping F bombs @ my teachers.
and there are things like the V-chip etc…all the dish boxes & i’m sure digital cable has it too…you can block or password protect any channel you want
its just that the people fighting for the censorship are too lazy to take the steps to self monitor.
if this happens…say bye-bye to the chapelle show…basically have of the stuff on comedy central
wait until the daily show is censored for being seditious…
Don’t sweat it, it won’t pass. UTP…
it passed for regular radio & TV which i think is B.S. too
yeah it ‘sucks’ that we can’t say fuck and cock on PBS :rolleyes:
i mean there is a line… it’s not like i don’t fucking swear, but i don’t need to hear it on every channel from every station on TV…
i highly doubt it’ll pass… i mean, you do realize that there are some retarded bills out htere that will never be passed… like i said, ikt’ snot like i want censored… but it’s not oging to kill you if it’s the case.
same here but it would suprise me if it does…but just the thought that these fucks what to censor somthing that i pay for …Fuck them
there are a ton of conservative pricks that would love to see this passed…& I bet there are companies in their pockets trying to get them to do it.
get the fuck out of here. when you have kids, why dont YOU think about being responsible for what they watch. For christs sake, we even have the technonlgy that limits children from watching what we dont want them to. No, no, no! Lets ban “indecency” all together. lets make it a crime to swear. mandatory minumum sentencing for exposing a bare titty. Yeah, then everything will be peach keen.
censorship is horseshit. who the fuck determines what is indecent and what isnt? its a flagrant and nauseating circumvention of the first amendment.
I can say “we’re gonna go have sex”, or “we’re gonna go fuck”. Both mean the exact same fucking thing, but one “indecent” because we decided a while ago that fuck is a “bad” word. How hilarious is that. A word being so “bad” that we have to take up legislation against it. the thoughts, ideas, and implications behind words can be dangerous, but words are just words.
I want to kill dem niggers - White Supremecist
I want to kill dem niggers - 50 cent
one of those is a dangerous statement indicative of a racist’s hatred towards an ethnic group, the other is a rap lyric that isnt looked twice at. Its all about the context. Words are not bad. Words are words.
it is a lil harsh these days… howard stern was saying that if this bill gets passed and he says penis on the air… it would be a 500k fine. dumping nuclear waste is a 60k fine… so he could dump a shit load of nuclear waste or say penis once and the fine is the same…
little extreme if you ask me
my favorite word is cunt. I hope that doesn’t get banned. Oh, and my favorite hand gesture :finger:
I was watching a deadwood rerun last night and they dropped the “cunt” bomb…it was hilarious. Never caught it the first time, not sure I’ve ever heard it on television before. It’s a much better word than fuck…
Censorship- It won’t stick. Powell’s gone…
They used it in “Curb your enthusiasm” - Funny stuff. In one episode Larry David and Julia Louis-Dreyfus want to make a show for HBO so they can use fuck, cunt and dick.
its shit like this that makes me embarassed to be an American.
