Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | My favourite US bill: number HR3687. Here's the original text from http://thomas.loc.gov. Quote: To amend section 1464 of title 18, United States Code, to provide for the punishment of certain profane broadcasts, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That section 1464 of title 18, United States Code, is amended-- (1) by inserting `(a)' before `Whoever'; and (2) by adding at the end the following: `(b) As used in this section, the term `profane', used with respect to language, includes the words `shit', `piss', `fuck', `cunt', `asshole', and the phrases `cock sucker', `mother fucker', and `ass hole', compound use (including hyphenated compounds) of such words and phrases with each other or with other words or phrases, and other grammatical forms of such words and phrases (including verb, adjective, gerund, participle, and infinitive forms).'.

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11098 | 'Creative' and 'rebellous' people will also always make up similar sounding words like 'darn' for 'damn'. Everybody knows what they mean, so why not just say the actual word? Same with 'discussions' which go all *beep* *beep* *beep* - hypocrisy. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | I have to comment that this law does not apply between the hours of Midnight to 6am, and do not apply for Public Access. ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | Does that mean we have to censor this thread from 6 am to midnight? Mr Creosote, could you add a few lines to the board script? |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11098 | Reminds me of the initiative of German politicians to apply the censorship rules of television (no porn and excessive violence before 11PM) to the Internet, too ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |
