Oklahoma: no porn for you!

because it's doing violence against people such as rape is illegal there is no constitutional protection for that.
pornography is in rape because they are consenting parties.
you suggesting consenting adults choosing to have sex and film it is somehow unconsensual sex?

Yeah that totally doesn't make any sense I don't know why you said it.

I'm saying that a Hollywood depiction of a person graphically having their head cut off with a chain saw is violence.

Just as graphic depiction of rape and sadomasochism is violence.

Both are protected by the 1st - but they are undeniably portrayals of violence.
 
The language can't be more clear. Anyone born in the USA is an American citizen. Except the family of diplomats, who are not under the jurisdiction of the USA. It requires a constitutional amendment to change that.
Are you seriously saying the President could change the 14th amendment with a stroke of his pen? Trump said he could.

Except of course that ISN'T the language. That is your interpretation.

The actual language is;

{All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.}

The highlighted section is the key element. Those who are in the country illegally are NOT subject to the jurisdiction - the laws - of the nation. hence they are NOT entitled to citizenship by birth.

no it isn't, it's pretend. It's acting and visual effects. Same way a magician makes a rabbit come out of his hat. It isn't a depiction of sorcery or alchemy.
Just as graphic depiction of rape and sadomasochism is violence.
And a magician pulling a rabbit out of his hat is sorcery?
Both are protected by the 1st - but they are undeniably portrayals of violence.
Because they are not really violence. The first amendment doesn't protect that.

Peter Weller wasn't charged with murder for the people killed in RoboCop because nobody was killed it's unlikely that anybody was even injured.

Of course everyone in the USA is subject to it's jurisdiction. Of bloody course. What are you thinking? Illegal immigrants have the same immunity to American jurisdiction as diplomats?
That's just stupid. Illegal immigrants aren't subject to American laws. You think you can make shit up and it becomes the truth because you say it is?
Everyone in the USA, citizens, permanent residents, tourists, illegal immigrants, everyone, is subject to the laws of the country, state, county, wherever they are. Subject to the jurisdiction of the USA. Everyone except the families of diplomats. They have immunity.

Yup. Criminal law statutes begin with the words "a person" or "any person". No exceptions are made except for holders of diplomatic passports.
 
A member in Oklahoma has tabled a Bill that would ban all porn in the State, including "normal" sexual intercourse.

Texting would only be allowed between married couples.


I'm not sure how this could be enforced with the current online proliferation of porn.
*sigh*....If Jerry Fallwell and Tipper Gore had a baby....
 
Less legal? Disaster, yeah, so much so any state that has legalized cannabis are pulling in millions in taxes, what a disaster.

Oh?

California is rolling in tax revenue?

Good to know....

{
Warning lights continue to flash bright red for California’s cannabis industry as companies struggle to pay their bills, legal cannabis sales continue to drop and pot tax revenue falls for the seventh straight quarter.

The latest tax figures released by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, or CDTFA, showed that cannabis excise taxes fell a whopping 18.8% in the first quarter of 2023. That’s the seventh quarter in a row in which excise tax collections have fallen for the industry.}

OOPS.

Not "of course."

Those who enter illegally are clearly defiant of the jurisdiction of the Federal government.

The 14th was written to protect freed slaves. The Marxists have perverted it to promote the assault on the common culture, language, and bonds of the nation as a means of dissolving the Republic. Illegal immigration took a "red" state - California, and turned it into the most radical leftist shit hole in the nation. As a result illegal immigration became the blue print democrats use in the war to end the Republic.
 
It isn’t harmless. There’s many many studies about this.

Yes, debunking the myths spread through the 90's.

I don't smoke, but I recognize the desire of the left to micromanage every aspect of every subject's life.

First they came for tobacco, I said nothing because I don't smoke.
Then they came for BBQ grills
Then they came for gas stoves

The left are tyrants - it is the nature of the left to impose absolute rule on those they can.

Ah, okay so when you said you support freedoms so long as they don’t harm anyone, what you really mean is that you support them even if they harm people.

No, I reject myths and psuedo science as reason to impose tyranny.

In recent years we've been told that second-hand smoke, or passive smoking, as some people call it, is as bad as smoking itself and can give you lung cancer. And apparently if you are surrounded by it in a car that has its windows closed that is like being in the most smoky, nicotine-stained bar you could ever imagine (if such bars still existed, which of course they don't).

Yet it turns out that these claims about the toxicity and cancer-causing powers of other people's smoke are either untrue or unproven. So how do prissy anti-smoking campaigners and health-freaky politicians continue to get away with churning out tall tales about second-hand smoke? Why won't this panic die under the boot of actual facts? What gives it its Michael Myers-like ability to keep coming back, in a crazier form every time, wagging its warning finger at humankind?}


It's not like we just discovered that the Second Hand Smoke claims were false, they were debunked by medical science a full decade ago.

This post is hilarious 😂

First they came for e.coli, but I said nothing because I don't eat cow poop.
Then they came for salmonella, but I said nothing because I don't lick eggs.
Then they came for botulism.

****ing leftist filth.

Notice how you link to a random blog and not a peer reviewed scientific/medical paper?

How much should someone be allowed to harm another person before the law can step in?

They can be as defiant as they want but they're still subject to the laws, subject to the jurisdiction of the USA.

What a meaningless, incoherent rant. End the Republic. The Democratic Party. That's just stupid. That's where the term 'low-functioning right' comes from, describing people who believe this kind of stupidity.

Your boy DeeJay Trump still said he would change the Constitution with a stroke of his pen.

By making it a criminal offense to for employees, investors, and corporate officers of internet service providers to allow their service to be used to carry such content.
 
Yep.

Look at what is NOT allowed in food in other Western countries in Europe. US food manufacturers have to make food to higher standards to sell overseas.

But, OK of course is tackling the big issues. 😂🙄
That’s not true. European food is actually less food safe than in the US and ignorance of American practices is used as a form of trade protectionism for European producers.

European producers for various reasons can’t make pork or chicken cheaper per pound then the US and so if US product was dumped on their market it would put local producers out of business, so European regulators make regulations like chicken treated with a chlorinated rinse can’t be sold in Europe, in fact chlorinated rinses mean salmonella infection from chicken is less common in the US than Europe

"Reason" is a random blog?

I notice that the left here likes to put up things like "independent" "centrist" or in this case "libertarian" when they have utterly no connection to those positions.

Reason is one of the predominant Libertarian publicanstion.

OOPS.

California's problem is not with marijuana it's with poor government. A government that wants to lay out a red carpet for a murderous dictator that is in the process of doing a genocide is treasonous and should be tried for that.

Also with the legalizing marijuana they decided that it was very important to control it to the point where you can barely operate a business. This isn't legalizing it's permitting the cartel to do it illegally without being caught. It's not enough just to make a thousand stipulations on whether or not you can do it it needs to be illegal for you to grow your own. The only way there should be any government involvement is if you are doing it to commercially.

What they've effectively done is made the cartels worse. They just go on dealing the pot like they normally did and don't adhere to all the regulations because they never did.

Meanwhile the government continues to become more broken and corrupt.
 
Of bloody course everyone in your country is subject to the laws. You know this. Except diplomats and their families.

Again, those who flagrantly violate laws are rejecting the jurisprudence of the legal authority.

They can be as defiant as they want but they're still subject to the laws, subject to the jurisdiction of the USA.

What a meaningless, incoherent rant. End the Republic. The Democratic Party. That's just stupid. That's where the term 'low-functioning right' comes from, describing people who believe this kind of stupidity.

Canada has no say in our nation. Fix your own mess.
