Well, I, for one, amd still waiting for Dick Chenney to be fined for swearing on TV. (remember that one) There were plenty of complaints about that one. I guess maybe next time he'll have to flash more nipple.
And as for the FCC, yes, as i recall, it is an illegal operation. Its opressive government like this that forced us to go to war with England way back when to gain the freedoms we've had stripped from us over the last century. Its amazing how we can go from a compltely free people in 1776 to the mess we have now, and it sickens me
Thre have been a lot of claims on this thread saying things like "the small lunatic fringes have no power" or "don't assume we're all lunatics due to the few that have no power". But when we allow what these people say to become policy and law they do have power, and the power that matters. When a company can be fined millions of dollars due to the complaint of ONE PERSON (yes, reread that, i said ONE PERSON) then something is seriously flawed. Joe Scmoe can get any show he doesn't like removed from television/radio, have a company fined millions of dollars, and have licenses taken away that cost well over $50 million for use of airaves revoked all because he doesnt like the word "boner" or "crap". And i for one say that IS crap.
Law is FORCE. And we should have only as many laws as it takes to keep some semblance of order, and nothing more. Just one hundred years ago it was legal to kill another man in a duel. Today a man can't even say the word "tits" on tv or radio. If they do they are fined hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, and the company that allowed that man on television faces the same. Some may say that our forefathers didnt go to war and die just so i can say "tits". But those people are WRONG. They went to war and die so i can say any damn fool thing i want, and if someone doesnt like it then tough shit. (thats right i said shit, deal with it)
Live free or die! They are not just words to be brushed off.
