  But there’s no such legislation or required identification for my kids to see graphic violence and gore. We’re a pretty bass ackwards society.

    Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?

      Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

      Why does scale matter? If it was only 50k kids daily would it change your mind?

      YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Disney+, Max, etc. And that’s before we get into the bad faith false equivalence of comparing violence to nudity and sexuality. One is a natural and beautiful part of life, the other is literally violence.

  sex is bad but dropping bombs on muslims is okay

    Strangely the right to life crowd really loves killing people. However I do think it is unfair to label them as anti-muslim, because the also love killing children, women, the poor… Basically anyone who is not rich and male.

  Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the first? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches…” seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.

  I wonder what all the “pro-porn”, “pro-free speech”, gamergate republican pundits on the internet have to say about this…
