Thread: Censorship has gone too far this time!!!

bye bye, now....

Bill,

First of all I did not write my post for entertainment's sake. I do like to provoke discussions though, but that's out of interest in people's opnions rather than to annoy people. I appreciate this is a forum for serious exchange of opinions and knowledge and like to keep it that way.

If you feel offended by my provocation I am very sorry. I do not intend to offend any one. I did not realise emotions on this subject run so deeply.

I realise that I hijacked the thread. I have no problem with relocating this discussion to another thread, but I do not know how to do it. As far as I am concerned: feel free to do it for me. Even if members or moderators feel it should be deleted alltogether I have no hang-up w/ that either.

About Houston: victims of gun shot wounds turned up in the accident and emergency dept. of the downtown general hospital daily. In the Netherlands nor the U.K. have I ever attended to a patient with gun shot wounds.

Bill. feel free to have the final say in this discussion so we can call it a day.

No they aren't. 1st reason is we want to see people's faces when we meet them, on security camera footage 2nd we also banned balaclavas for the same reasons, 3rd it is easier to hide rifles etc. under burkas. Although I do not like to speak to a person behind a burka I do not have strong feelings about the things.

I do agree that it is definitely ass backwards to allow gore on tv without showing a nice pair of breats But the FCC is completely ungoverned and has no oversite commity, and is VERY strongly tied to the church and as we all know, the church loves violence and killing but hates sex....so thats where that comes from, and no I dont agree with it, these are the same people that help keep our gun rights alive...and since I already have breasts to play with at home, I am more concerned with my guns...after all happiness is a warm gun

First, I agree that the adversion to public nudity in the USA is pretty ridiculous.

That said, I'm curious where it all started. Did the idea come with the original settlers from Europe or did we conjur it up all on our own? I have always assumed it was something the (Catholic) Church decreed back in the middle ages, but now you've got me wondering for sure. Does anyone know? (yeah, I'm being lazy... my Google's tired )

Its about how the politicians want to appeal to the largest group of voters in the country IMO. After all the head of the FCC when this all started was gen. colin Powell's son lol....so he had some political ties to say the least.

bye bye, now....

That's the problem. I don't see anything wrong with someone taking a dump. I personally wouldn't want to observe the phenomenon and most people wouldn't so the demand for it would be fairly low. However, it's a perfectly natural function. The problem is that our society is going against human nature in everything other than violence.

Don't forget about good ol' fashioned 'cancer' and 'heart desease'. Those ladies don't care who you are, what you know, or how healthy you think you are. Never mind about your 'willy'!
