Bachmann signs The Family Lead pledge

[elvis]

Am I the only one that doesn't care if porn is banned?

Define porn.

what if I wanna have intimate photos taken of my wife?

s'okay. the supreme court couldn't define it either. but they know it when they see it.

does it take a trained eye?

lol.. i dunno. but the court actually used to have porn-watching days when different films were banned and came up in various cases.

I'm sure there are plenty of men who would be looking at pictures of women to decide whether or not it's porn. For science, of course.

SCOTUS has been known to make mistakes. Porn is not a matter of free speech. I don't give a **** what you think. It's part of the overall sex trade.

Michele "One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" Bachmann and her ilk has never seen a far rightwing pledge that they didn't want to sign.

The pledge is clearly advocating and/or suggesting the banning of pornography.

Good luck with THAT!

Actually, that part of the pledge is to protect children from pornography (likely by having some sort of censorship - parental or some sort of control mechanisms for parent...just a guess). I certainly saw no indication of any advocacy for a ban on it. But, if that is the case, then you are right; she will need some good luck with that.

But, based on her CV, I don't think she is quite that thick.

Your very words speak to the vagueness of your understanding of her pledge.

It lumped women and children together, so common sense dictates that it's an all-around ban of pornography.

Someone mentioned earlier that they/she should have separated it out, if it was truly the case that it's just an effort to protect children, however, the pledge does not state that. It's lumped together.

She is that thick...she's said some of the craziest stuff this side of the election in the past 2 years. "Gangster government" "all out expose on Congress", etc.

What CV are you looking at when you say that?

How would you know what common sense dictates?

There are a lot of feminists that would love to see porn banned. so the answer is no.

Also, I am going to laugh of someone asks President Obama what he thinks about porn.

"President Obama, what is your response to Bachman's pledge to end porn? Do you agree that porn is dangerous for America's youth? Does pornography exploit women?"

"Uh, well, when I was at Harvard law...hey, have you SEEN the price of arugula at Whole Foods?"

Except it would take him a lot more words to get there.

This is one of those rare times I wonder what would happen if the majority of judges were women.

Prisoners Deserve Access to Porn

"Such living conditions have been used as a method of 'psychological warfare' against prisoners, in order to both destroy the morale of inmates and break the spirit of individuals," he writes in the lawsuit, adding that he must cope with "sensory deprivation" and "a poor standard of living." He also claims to suffer from "chronic masturbation syndrome and severe sexual discomfort," and says that pornography is an essential part of his treatment.

I posted the vow, its right there in a thumbnail from the pledge site pdf....here.

Yes, I also read the original vow. Are you ignoring what I said on purpose?

It's not just kids that are being mentioned in the same sentence as banning all forms of pornography, it's women as well. Hence why it can be taken as saying they want to ban more than child pornography. They should have split it into two sentences, one about their stances toward protection of women and then one for children.

This is some funny shit. Please diagram how the sentence should have been written, you barking moonbat.

 

[boedicca]

I knew you had reading comprehension issues.

I'm simply telling you why I took it wrong in the first place. But hey, just feel free to ignore where I said that if they only mean child pornography then I was wrong with my OP.

You took it wrong in the first place because you have such CWDS that you'll jump on anything negative about a Conservative Woman without even bothering to read it.

Please, get some help with your Mommy Issues.

Of course I've made mistakes, Doggie. I just don't consistently make them, then when caught in what appears to be another example of my inherent dishonesty, I don't say, "Oops, I simply made a mistake".

You operate a lot like a grocery store I no longer frequent. They rarely had the price that was programmed into the cash register the same as the lower price advertized on the shelf or the weekly flyer. I got so tired of the lame excuse that they simply made a mistake and charged me more when they always made that same 'mistake'.

It's a trust thing. Folks who know the value of being trusted make sure they have integrity and keep it.

Except I don't consistently make them either. But hey, if you wish to make sweeping generalizations about me, go right ahead. I can think of two threads in the last couple of months where I had to say I was wrong because I was. Feel free to prove me wrong if there are more.

That being said, I'm willing to admit to my mistakes, which is more than what a good amount of people on this board have never and will never do.

I'll put this in TMNese in the hope that you might grok it: Your a LAIR!

I pledge humane protection of the hummingbirds in my yard....

Moddy likely couldn't make that pledge without giving up his sex life.

if they knew anything about the constitution, then, presumably, the result would be the same.

That was a pretty weak attempt at an insult.

What do you mean by sex trade? Are you lumping porn in with human trafficking and or prostitution?

This thread definitely needs to be on the list of Epic Meltdown Threads of 2011. Doggie the Bubble Mod has made a total fool of himself through this entire thread.

Just because I disagree with SCOTUS on porn doesn't mean I know nothing of the Constiution. I've never thought that porn should be protected speech, nor do I think rape and sadomasochistic porn is 'harmless expression of oneself'.

Who said that about rape?
