Idaho Republicans want to ban TV with Premarital Sex

I guess all we could watch is Leave it to Beaver, cartoons, and The Brady Bunch.
 
So, all the actors have to be married? How would we know? Isn't just a story, anyway?

What about pre-war violence?

What about actors who play police, but aren't?

What about the first amendment?

Well, welcome to the club. The is no Bible reading or open prayer or Creationism or Intelligent Design expressed in public schools --- rarely on TV for that matter. What happened to the 2nd Amendment?

And they don't teach about Amer-Indian faiths, Buddhism, the Koran, or even philosophy at all.

Yup, they do keep the kids pretty damned ignorant.
 
Being for the promotion of a particular concept of morality could easily be contrary to the 'First'.
 
Being against the promotion of immoraity isn't being against free speech.

Promoting licentiousness is not protected free speech.

Libertarians are not libertines.

Licentiousness? Premarital sex is licentiousness? LMAO

It's not?

What is it, then?

Licentious: 1. lacking legal or moral restraints; especially : disregarding sexual restraints
2: marked by disregard for strict rules of correctness

In your oppressive, puritanical little world, your values and 'moral restraints' may be that pre-marital sex is against 'strict rules of correctness,' but for the rest of the developed, modern world, it isn't. And it isn't against the law. You are living in a time warp and should not feel you have the right to impose your personal values on everyone else. If you don't like what is on TV, change the channel.

Republican Rep. Darrell Bolz of Caldwell said the resolution doesn't request any new FCC regulations. But he says it simply asks the agency to get back to promoting standards already spelled out in law.

Who said it was against the law? Do you condone the practice? Do you long for more teen pregnancies? Do you get a vicarious thrill from teen sex? Do you wish to push your ignaroant, amoral views on the American public?

If people don't want that crap in their homes via the idiot box, they have a perfect right to address the issue with the legislature.

Why do you have a problem with that?

You have completely misunderstood.

Try again.

While there’s no mention of premarital sex in current FCC regulations, the definition of “contemporary community standards” is a highly subjective moving target. Not only do times change, but the people interpreting the rules do too.

So it's Darell Bolz's idea of what constitutes "contempory community standards". Indecency Proposal

Contemporary community standards for the vast majority of people in the modern, developed West is that pre-marital sex is acceptable and typical.

If people do not want that crap in their homes, they can change the channel. I don't mind sex in television shows as long as it is essential to the plot line and not gratuitious, simply to throw sex out there because they can.

In the Showtime series Homeland there are several scenes where Brody has sex with the CIA agent investigating him. The purpose of the sex content isn't to throw genitalia on the screen, it's to illustrate his confusion and inability to reconnect with his wife and family. When Brody's wife has been driven to the brink she has adulterous sex with the family friend. It portrays her complete break with her husband and her willingness to move on. All were essential to the development of the characters.

It's quite different from showing teenagers having sex because this is the way they deal with an afternoon of boredom.
 
I hope he has nothing against comedy shows or Fox and Friends could be in real trouble.
 
Republicans are for freedom, but only if it fits their ideology.

Yeah.....Family Values....and, all that.....
