Quote:So basically EVERYTHING is fair game because it can be called news. That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.


Laws need to keep up with the times, and the founding fathers never could have imagined in their wildest dreams about the technology that is available to us today. When they wrote those laws, stories of George Washington bending Betsy Ross over her sewing loom would NEVER have been printed in a newspaper...

 

So keeping up with the times means moving towards authoritarianism and a restriction of rights then? You're right, they never would've had the internet so we need to have speech codes. They never had automatic weapons so we need confiscatory gun control laws. Church? No one needs that anymore, we should ban it or at least fine tax those who choose to attend. The whole problem is that when someone gets to draw the line then that person has the power over where the line is. I'm not ok with that and you shouldn't be either.
