Party at Howard Stern's house!

[superwalrus]

its funny how Stern only had 2 fines the entire time that Powell was in office and he cries like a little bitch.

Stern has always been a fucking hack, I can't stand his programming. I'm surprised you like Stern at all, the guy is the biggest bigot I've ever heard.

Walrus

[Relbeek Einre]

I don't like Stern. I just hate censorship more.

[superwalrus]

so you're in favor of 100% uncencosered public airwaves?

Walrus

[Riggen]

Stern is ok. He's not as edgy as he thinks he is, though.

Those FCC fines, by the way, cost him Clear Channel. Which he probably felt in his own wallet. So I don't begrudge him his political agenda against the FCC. In its "decency" regulatory capacity, the FCC pretty much sucks ass anyway.

Walrus

So... you never listen to Rush huh?

[Narith]

so you're in favor of 100% uncencosered public airwaves?

Walrus

If that is the only other alternative, you would be for 100% censorship even in violation of free speach?

[superwalrus]

first off... I don't listen to Rush. The few times I did, years ago, he made me sick...

but what was the point of what you were saying about Rush? Oh wait, there was no valid point.

And also, you're thoughts on the 100% censorship, where the fuck did you get that from any of my posts? Thats right, you just up and made that up. Basically, I'm for the system we have right now, public airwaves have restrictions, while cable and satellite do not... is that so fucking hard?

Walrus

[jookkor]

I am %100 in favor of 0 censorship on the airwaves or any other media.

[superwalrus]

so the major networks should be able to broadcast hardcore porn on TV during the day? Or show extreme ultra violence? Yeah, thats what I thought.

Walrus

[Relbeek Einre]

Why not? Bring the little bastards up right. After all, the Iraqis can see that shit looking out their bedroom windows, what's good enough for them is good enough for us!

[Arathena]

As long as I can perform the ultimate act of censorship in my own home through the Channel ^, Channel v, and Power buttons, I don't really care if CBS shows 'Betty does Baghdad'. at noon. Hell, aren't the soaps awful close to it anyway?

I detest the FCC because its 'decency' standards represent a suppression of media that is not, in any apparent way, answerable to the citizenry of America.

[Ddrak]

Walrus is clearly of the opinion that parents aren't responsible enough to bring their children up and the state should regulate it for them.

[Burz]

Unfortunatly many of today's aren't responsible and should keep their pants on.

[Crelone]

I'm glad to see him go. His righteous crusade of the airwaves and TV have been appalling. The fact that he can't figure out if he's for big business (allowing media to consolidate even more channels in one area) Or not ( read some of the FCC decisions on the teclo industry) makes him the true flip-flopper of the last 4 years.

I say good bye and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

[Narith]

Actually Walrus the Rush comment was that you said you had never heard anyone as biggoted as Stern, while I think the man is vile, disgusting, and utterly degrading twords women, I was pointing out that if you listened to Rush you would find out that he is an even bigger biggot than Stern and much more open about about it.

As for the other comment, you replied to Relbeek "so you're in favor of 100% uncencosered public airwaves?" which sounds to me like there are only two options 100% uncensored public airwaves, or 100% censored to the point of violating free speach. There are grey areas.

As for showing hard core porn on public tv, you view that as bad yet you can watch a man being put to a violent death on the news, you can watch gore, blood, violence, watch people have thier belly sliced open and intestines fall out on television (scream 1 on TBS a few years back)..... but showing a woman's nipple on TV results in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines as well as other punishments.... Excuse me for thinking this, but are you fricken insane?

[jookkor]

yeah I do believe networks should do whatever they want to attract viewers. I believe in capitalism, real capitalism. I dont think one individuals rights should end where another's "morality" begins.

[superwalrus]

Walrus is clearly of the opinion that parents aren't responsible enough to bring their children up and the state should regulate it for them.

What country do you fucking live in? No, parents aren't responsible enough.

And Narith... you need to get a grip on reality.... I said public airwaves... I think cable should be 100% uncensored, like the TBS example you used. (and guess what, the FCC can't say shit about what happens on cable.. hah, you're a faggot!)

Stern is way more overtly bigotted than Rush hands down, although both are fucktards.

Walrus

[Ddrak]

What country do you fucking live in? No, parents aren't responsible enough.

How very liberal of you.

So it's your opinion that the government should preempt and supercede the rights of parents?

Dd

[vaulos]

Well, ya. I mean, that's why we have schools isn't it?
