Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I suspect a case of projection here. Make porn illegal so I will no longer be tempted to watch it.

I think someone needs to research prohibition a bit more. During which time nude images, even art, were banned in many areas.

Eat shit and die, rabid fundamentalist scum. You & your ideas are the antithesis of America.

The worst thing of all is that people like these are usually the worst offenders.

I bet he watches so much porn. And I bet it’s weird.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Tentacle furry bondage porn.

His wife probably asked him if he watches it recently and this is his response lol.

And she only asked because she does and thought maybe it would spice things up for them and improve their relationship.

There was one person the Knowledge Fight guys did a break episode on who wanted to make porn illegal. After getting pretty far into the episode Dan finally reveals what he eventually found out after the guy mentions people having legal issues:

His son got caught with (already illegal) child porn, and it hurt his sons career options. So this man's idea is to ban all porn.... despite the reason for his tirade being already illegal. He just wants to harm everyone else too, lashing out.

His son got caught with (already illegal) child porn, and it hurt his sons career options. So this man’s idea is to ban all porn… despite the reason for his tirade being already illegal.

He probably thinks regular porn is a "gateway drug" to more extreme porn, eventually culminating in what his son was caught with. This isn't a super uncommon view, and isn't even limited to weird fundies or even the right. I don't agree with it personally, but I've seen it enough times from people on enough sides that I wouldn't be surprised if he's part of that crowd.

If everyone else's son is in jail his won't look so bad

So is this like a person that actually matters or just some retarded american yokel the media is using for clickbait?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Semi-matters, but not really. He does hold a real office, but the chances of this passing are about tree fiddy below nil.

In NC, a purple state, where she has to use a VPN to access e621

Ok good luck with that one, bro.

The con movement is chock full of creepy weirdos and freaks. If they want some con paradise where they love oil and have morality police, they should get their freak selves over to Saudi Arabia, and fuck right off from here.

This is a country founded on secular values - the xtian jesus freak stuff need not apply to government, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago

Seriously, you're right that land already exists.

  • Illegal porn
  • Illegal drinking
  • Morality police
  • Women are under control of men
  • Religion is part of government
  • The wealthy can do whatever they want
  • Essentially legalized slavery through exploitation of migrants

Sounds like their paradise, they can move there. Trying to make other countries like that is just greedy.

Believe it or not, Dusty Deevers goes straight to jail.

We can do that if he is willing to share his search history.
