I think a lot of people are not familiar with obscenity laws.  The SCOTUS has ruled that the definition of obscenity is pretty narrow.  The definition has some murky parts but it's pretty difficult to produce any form of speech that would be banned purely because it is "obscene."  For those of you that so eloquently said "F' obsenity laws" is there something you have been prevented from accessing?  If so it must be some pretty twisted stuff.  So no the obscenity laws in the US are fine as is.

What do we mean?  Like shooting the finger at a cop?  Shouting into a megaphone that the President an asshole as he steps off Marine One?  Wearing a T-shirt that says, "somebody please give me a blow job?"  That sort of thing?

I voted legal. 

Not that I'd want my child to witness any of that, but the alternative (growing up in a land where speech is arbitrarily censored), seems far worse. 

You don't have to worry.  As far as I know none of that stuff is illegal on the basis of obscenity.  Like I said you have to do something pretty twisted to get slapped with an obscenity charge that sticks.  Most of the posters on this thread have no idea what the threshold really is.  Sufficed to say it is pretty high.  You would never accidently cross the line.

Ah yes, obscenity is like what the fascists put Max Hardcore away for.

That is a very broad definition of the word fascist... even for an internet forum.

Refresh my memory.  Is Max Hardcore the pornographer that would dress teenage girls up as even younger prepubescent girls and then fist f**k them while urinating in their mouths while he attempted to gag them with his penis and make them vomit into a bowl?  Is that the Max Hardcore we are talking about?  Or is it the Max Hardcore that shoved speculums up teenage girls butts so he could video tape their colons?  Was it that Max Hardcore?

Like I said you have to be pretty twisted to get slapped with an obscenity charge that sticks.  Max made dozens perhaps hundreds of porn video tapes.  He didn't just do his little routine once or twice.  He was a very prolific smut peddler.  Honestly if this is the type of behavior one must engage in to raise the ire of the Federal Government I'm going to hazard a guess and say 99.999% of Americans have nothing to worry about.  Dressing up teenagers in school girl uniforms and pigtails and making them do "baby talk" while I video tape sticking a speculum up their ass and piss in their mouth isn't something I see as an inalienable right.  I personally would never have thought to come up with a law making what Max did illegal, but at the same time I'm not going to go on a crusade to get this rather obscure law changed just because one seriously twisted guy in a generation gets house arrest for doing this type of thing.

The internet is full of videos of well endowed young black men taking turns ejaculating in the anuses and mouths of white suburban MILFs.  If this doesn't satisfy your masturbatory needs then there is something wrong (and it's not the laws of the country).

It's a bit much for Ziggy to be complaining about someone's sexual tastes, all things considered.

Link is Einzige?

Thanks for filling in the missing piece of the puzzle.  I was wondering why that guy all of a sudden started following me around the forum.  It was disturbing that he had a pet name for me as well.  Once he started saying he had intimate knowledge of my sexual tastes I was totally creeped out.

Wormy I am not your boyfriend "Ziggy"!  Whoever that is.
