No more cussing

[JudynTX]

:nope


State Senator Robert Ford is hoping to outlaw lewd language and is pushing for a bill that would prohibit profanity.

Under the pre-filed bill, profanity could land you in jail for up to 5 years and/or cost you up to $5,000 in fines.

Which words are exactly considered profane is still unclear, but the bill does have a list of qualifications for profanity including words or actions that are lewd, vulgar or indecent in nature.

We spoke to Debra Gammons with the Charleston School of Law about freedom of speech.

She reminds that the First Amendment is not absolute. You cannot say whatever you want whenever you want to.

Courts will usually look at where the words were said and who heard them. Children are usually protected.

Ford said he may run for governor in 2010.

[J.T.]

The 1st Amendment is going to cockslap this bill, call it a bitch, fuck it in the ass, and then tell it to get in the kitchen and make it some blueberry pancakes.

Fuck that shit. You think the jails are overcrowded now...

[baseline bum]

What the monkeyfuck?

[td4mvp21]

Wow. People should use discretion about when they cuss in public but seriously, the government has no right to control our mouths.

[balli]

He's in South Carolina, but you can still email him.

Something in the bill I found interesting is where it reads:

"It is unlawful for a person in a public forum or place of public accommodation wilfully and knowingly to publish orally or in writing, exhibit, or otherwise make available material containing words, language, or actions of a profane, vulgar, lewd, lascivious, or indecent nature."

Does that include internet forums (like this one, for example)?

Could you imagine the number of arrests being made behind this lunacy?

[TDMVPDPOY]

[Udokafan05]

What makes profanity profanity.

[whottt]

Stupid Fuck...if you lived in Texas why would you be sending that fucker's office the most profane email you could muster?


I mean why would you do it if you lived in Texas but not since you live in Utah?

Explain this, stupid fuck...

Then shut the fuck up.

I don't understand what the big fascination is with sending people to jail and having to fund their shelter, food, and consumables for ridiculously stupid things. Jail should be reserved for the violent criminals and people who prey on society. The scammers, defrauders, and the sort. Why is the government so eager to make itself pay for a person's living expenses after taking their freedom away?

[jack sommerset]

The guy is fucking stupid

Motherfucking shit, fucking with me.
Fuck a stank bitch and a sucker MC.
All you bastards got the clap,
And fuck you punk, cuz you still can't rap.
Cusswords; just let 'em roll
Motherfucking shit goddamn asshole.
Cusswords; just don't quit.
Motherfuck you damn shithead bitch.

Ronald Reagan came up to me and said 'Do you have the answer?'
'To the US economy, and a cure for cancer?'
I said 'What are you doing, in the white house, if you're not selling cocaine?'
'Ask your wife, Nancy Reagan; I know she'll spit that game'
Like one night she came to my house and gave me a blowjob
She licked my dick, up and down, like it was corn on the cob.

[manufor3]

stupid

[RandomGuy]

Can you still fuck in a crowded theater though?

Depends on
1) How sneaky you are

and

2) The type of theater

$$$$$$

Each plastic chair, mattress, jump suit, whatever else they have is contracted to companies.

If lawmaker's brother wants to sell new prison tables to every prison in the state, they try to earn the government contract.

Each prisoner = $$$ at the expense of you and me. It's a business like everything else nowadays

[ManuTP9]

i bet that guy uses profanity when hes alone or something. fucking asshole shit

Private companies are taking over the prison system. That goes very well with a government full of professional politicians who need to create more lawbreakers in order to justify their own existence.
