Oh No! Not The Porn!
Sometimes you just gotta love the South Carolina Belles of Heaven Republican Women’s Club, if only because nobody else does.
They have a dandy little project that’s gonna work as good as prohibition.
They are gonna keep pornography off the internet machine in South Carolina. Yes, indeed, a South Carolina free of pornography. Here’s the plan:
Computers and devices sold in South Carolina that can access the internet would be required to have filters installed to prevent people from viewing pornography, although buyers could pay a $20 fee to remove the blocking software under a proposal before the legislature.
Republicans put the government in my bedroom, then my uterus, and now in my MacBook.
And I kinda suspect that their idea of porn and my idea of porn might be real different.
But here’s the part that worries me: you know what’s worse than a Trump-supporting angry old white guy? A Trump-supporting angry old white guy without porn on his computer.
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
This is what we need in the way of true news…….Onward!
1Too funny in the ironic definition of “funny”! The snacilbuper do enjoy eating their own. Facts, damn the fact that the largest crowd of porn buying hypocrites are “Christians” from Red States.
Donnie? He doesn’t buy porn, he marries it.
Also curiously interesting is that the snacilbupeR deny their war on women. But it is all about forced birth on women with them. Reality check. All their efforts are to deny women reproductive heath care. Not a word out of their Christo fascist mouths about us guys who elect vasectomies to sustain families we can support and do what we can to limit the impact on environment.
2All this is going to do is hurt businesses in SC that sell computers, phones, tablets, etc. People will cross the state line to buy them there – not to save $20, but to not be on any sort of list (and you know authorities will use the fees to keep track of “porn users” and use it against the consumers whenever they want).
3What Cheryl Johns said. Duh!!!
Maybe this will help NC regain lost funds from the HB2 debacle.
4They’ll get my porn when they pry it from my cold dead hand.
Sorry that sounded better in my head.
Oh never mind.
5Hmmm. I was just thinking. I don’t even watch porn, but would travel elsewhere to get my tech stuff. Once we start accepting the government’s selection of what we can see on the internet, we start to look a lot like China and North Korea.
6They just don’t want any one to recognize them.
7I bet $1000 that their definition of porn to be blocked includes the word “abortion.” I bet $100 that you won’t even be able to look up info about breast cancer.
And what Cheryl said, absolutely.
8Once upon a flight so dreary, while my husband labored weak and weary, the frat guy next to him opened his collegiate lap top and guess what! Could that be the reason the pilot had to turn the plane around and return to the airport? And no, it wasn’t in SC air space. The plane had just left Atlanta. Seriously, state government plotting to put software on lap tops that would keep people from seeing any damn thing? Including streaming TV shows hosted by Democrats and all their cousins? Damn!What these old ladies need to do is see the film “Calendar Girls” starring among others Helen Mirren. I love that damn film to bits and will watch it whenever it shows up on my TV! My husband thought a lot of it, too. He remembered that the naughty nude calendar these old girls produced went to fund leukemia research at the local hospital in memory of one of the girl’s late husband. Oh, and it also bought a comfortable couch for the waiting room in the cancer unit. At least these girls (members of the local Womens Institute in their village) did something humane and even noble with that calendar. Unlike what the bunch in SC have in mind!
9Maggie … I agree … I loved that movie, too!!
10So…will Amazon be required to keep a separate “SC Special” line of electronics in stock??? This could get interesting.
Strange how all of these Super Christians (who have no problem with all the unchristian acts of the snacilbuper) don’t have anything better to do.
11So porn is bad and sinful, but only $20 bad?
How much would my other favorite sins cost me? Could I kill someone for $1000? (Note: that is not really one of my favorite sins; it runs about fifth, well behind cats and chocolate.)
12THANK YOU MICR for the best laugh this morning!
13Those hypocrites can’t seem to get out of our bedrooms and bathrooms. Then Big Government suddenly appears.
14So, we must ban this evil influence from our state forever…. unless you give me $20. Yeah.
15The Wages of Sin in South Carolina: 20 bucks.
Helluva deal.
16“Calendar Girls!” Yes! I loved it too. I am madly in love with Helen Mirren.
Those Carolinians gotta get a life and stay out of everyone else’s. Ferpete’ssake.
17Sounds like a tryout law from ALEC, (American Legislative Exchange Council) or Republican Governor’s Brain. If we get away with it here we’ll do it in all of the red states.
18This reminds me of life with Smith County Tx. blue laws. They were too overly Christian to allow alcohol unless you paid a $2.00 “membership charge”.
This is just a way for the state to charge everybody $20.
19‘Porn’ is undefinable. Smut, obscenity, etc. are words to damage people. If I sold computers in S.C. I’d remove the filter and charge the reprobates to put it back in.
