1)Particularly disturbing is this little snippet.
2) Oh good. weve had a shortage of anti religious biggots in here lately and its good to see someone has decided to fill the void.
3)Government's job is to secure the rights of the people and protect them, and it operates under the consent of the governed.
4)Even though I felt everything said was completely on topic, since it is the Right Wing that?s trying to censor us.
5)This is where I draw the line. Broadcast television and radio is fine to have some regulation, but cable television is a paid service. While broadcast radio and television are everywhere, nobody's forcing anyone to have cable. It should be left up to the viewers, channel owners, and cable providers to determine what content is and is not acceptible since this is the realm of private commerce. The FCC has no business imposing decency rules on cable, digital satellite radio OR the internet. I also think they should define it clearly as to what is and is not permissible on broadcast, otherwise it's just guesswork.
6)Example: The Women's Channel is on basic cable, in many basic cable plans the Learning Channel is NOT. Not even considering the fact that the men's channel is Premium.
I read this entire thread, and composed this list above. Now to go through it with unsound satire...
1)Yes, democracy at its best.
2)Down boy. Let the nice anti-christ say his peace. Afterall, if we didn't let him, we would be as bad as the FCC.
3)Kind of like how everyone in the United States agreed to submit to the -ahem- "'Patrior' Act"?
4)Malchia, everyone in politics is a doche bag. To go even further, I'd say it is the left more than the right in this case since they are the ones who try to push more government big brother laws on us half the time. The last time I checked (before gay old Bush), the right was more pro-sans-government than the left.
5) Well met bird, I can't agree more.
6) Dude, I get like 4 spanish channels. WTF?
