But there's no such legislation or required identification for my kids to see graphic violence and gore. We're a pretty bass ackwards society.

ironic you self censored "ass backwards" on a comment calling out censorship.
they wrote ass backwards ass backwards. It's a joke, not self censorship.
We're so ass backwards my go-to thought was the censored version.
Australia got the criminals while America got the prudes.
I know this is a joke, but I would just like to take this opportunity to relate what I consider to be an interesting historical fact.
Many Americans think that Australia was the only British penal colony, and that America was founded by Puritans, Quakers and the like. In fact Brittan was sending prisoners the North America well before they started using Australia after the revolutionary war. From 1610 to 1766 Brittan sent between 50-120,000 prisoners to America. In 1717 with the passage of the Transportation Act and continuing up until 1776, Brittan sent between 30,000 and 50,000 prisoners and 'indentured servants' to America, most of whom were political prisoners. I'm sure that having such a large number of people persecuted for their beliefs by Brittan and shipped off to a foreign land had nothing to do with the colonists declaring independence.
Granted when they did start shipping prisoners to Australia (1787 to 1868), they ended up sending quite a few more there, approx 162,000, but still the U.S. can proudly claim to come from Outlaws, just like the Aussies :)
Free speech only applies to saying the N word
-Supreme Court probably some time in the future
Ah, the ol in haec verba Tarantino rule
Here's that nanny state Republicans were always talking about
Pretty sure "Nanny state" is a popular category of porn
Projection, it is secretly what they wanted the whole time.
sex is bad but dropping bombs on muslims is okay
Strangely the right to life crowd really loves killing people. However I do think it is unfair to label them as anti-muslim, because the also love killing children, women, the poor... Basically anyone who is not rich and male.
Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the 1st? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches..." seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.
I thought they just stuck down the one in Tennessee? What the fuck. Sick of these corrupt courts.
And now those VPN subscriptions go up, up, up.
I wonder what all the "pro-porn", "pro-free speech", gamergate republican pundits on the internet have to say about this...
The headline got me on the first third.
