What the fuck is this country turning into? You don’t like something don’t watch / listen to it. DO NOT SCREW WITH MY ABILITY TO ENJOY IT.
Assholes.
The “Chilling Effect” in all it’s glory.
So, even if I pay for it, they still don’t want to allow me to hear dirty words?
Thank God for Big Brother!
:rolleyes:
A bunch of litigious wusses who tell the Government to do their thinking for them because they can’t be bothered to think for themselves.
Yep, they are dangerously insane. What I object to most is the intentional ambiguity of their rules. And, as evidenced with Saving Private Ryan, they will not grant an interpretation up front even when they are approached with a specific, well defined question.
Vigorous enforcement of nebulous rules – it’s a recipe for intimidation.
Unfortunately, the American public is voting into office politicians on both sides of the aisle who agree with this crap. Those in office who disagree are too afraid to say anything, because it will be used against them come re-election. It is very sad that the general American voting public does not understand the abuse of the power it is giving its government, and instead numbly agrees to continually expand the power our government is abusing.
How odd it is that the advocates of government repression and the erosion of the first Amendment are the ones who yelp the loudest about “freedom.”
Freedom is slavery, indeed.
Wow. That post rivals one by Lib in inscrutability. After rereading it a few times, I think you’re implicating the Bush admin and their followers as those who yelp about freedom yet practice government repression. Nicht wahr?
I’m being compared to Lib, the Yoda of the Carolinas? :eek:
I thought that it was obvious that I’m referring to the GOP and their allies as the hypocrites who talk about freedom but prefer authoritarianism in practice.
And the “freedom is slavery” line is one of the 3 principles of IngSoc, the ruling philosophy of the society depicted in George Orwell’s 1984.
[sub]Lib? Yikes![/sub]
I have to stand by Homey on this one, gobear. Your first post was kind of ambiguous, and until I actually went back to make sure of the screen name, I wasn’t quite sure which side was getting shot. 
Et tu, JayJay?
I shall strive to post in a less gnomic fashion henceforth.
snork! Funniest [explitive deleted] I’ve read all week.
I’m right there with you on the hypocrasy of the GOP, but I think the linked article made it clear that this is not a partisan issue.

These are not the daggers you’re looking for…
And I DID say that once I figured out who posted it, I understood which side of the matter was being lambasted…
I’d like to expand Worldy’s rant to include that dumbfuck racebaiter Tony Dungy for calling the MNF skit of this week “racist” because it showed a black man in a locker room with a white woman jumping into his arms. Where’s the racism? I thought sexually promiscuous skit with people of two colors was progressive, not racist. WTF?
Fucking punk.

Ugh I just read about that 5 minutes ago, and my eyes rolled out of their sockets. Words don’t do that comment justice.
OK, to be clear I am not supporting this point of view (having not seen the skit, I have no intelligent opinion on it), however, my understanding is that it is supposed to be perpetuating the stereotype of black men “going after” white women in preference to black women.
BTW, I totally got what gobear was saying. It didn’t seem vague at all to me.
I find it absolut-ly hilarious that the ad on the page when I clicked on the article was of an Absolut bottle ejaculating diamonds with the tag “Absolut Release”.
I know what he’s saying about the skit, but it’s still a bunch of bullshit. It’s PC, whiney, crap. It takes a lot for me to say something like that, too, because I have to constantly argue with people who use “PC” as an excuse for why everything happens to white people or in the favor of a person of color.

Yes, even Marsha Brady never faced such a mess.
My apologies. I read your post as not understanding what he was saying. On the “whiny PC bullshit” front, I am in complete agreement with you.
