    No to the speech and no to the religion because they are protected under the U.S. constitution.

    Not based on religious grounds.

    Offensive materials may or may not fall under the free speech clause of the constitution.


    Then explain how the FCC can ban swear words, nudity, and explicit sex acts on over the air TV?

    I have no say in an area I choose not to live.

    In Petersham Massachusetts, the townsfolk have decided that you can only paint your house white.

    There is nothing in the constitution protecting offensive clothing.

    Its the Marxists like you and Obamma and the Federal government that most people want out of their lives.

    The Federal Government has two major responsibilities, deliver the mail and defend the country. Delivering the mail has been in trouble for years and under Obamma defending the country is in last place!

    Should the government, state or federal, tell you what clothes you can legally wear?

    Nope, I made no mistake. It is a Montana politician in the Montana state government. It is not the federal government. But that is beside the point. Do you want the Montana state government to dictate what clothing is legal or illegal?

    Also, why do you continually try to derail your own threads?

    Is that a law or an agreed upon code? Kind of like my HOA agrees that you should keep your mailbox and post clean, but they cannot legally prosecute you if it gets dirty...

    No doubt. My only concern on your comment, Curtis, was the vagueness of the wording. Using the phrase "what they see as offensive" is what opens the can of worms. Some people, believe it or not, are offended by the American Flag (simply the symbol of our nation). Some people are offended by the Bible (the cornerstone printed document of entire faiths). Some people are offended by a swastika (an ancient far east sign, known as the gammadion cross, which is revered as a sacred symbol in eastern religions, yet was co-opted by Nazi Germany and turned into a symbol of hate).

    Unless there is an agreed upon definition of what is and is not offensive, then we continue to tread that fine line. That's all I was trying to say.

    It's a local ordinance.


    Agreed.

    I agree with that as well. It's a slippery slope. But I don't want the feds involved, either way.

    So do you want your local government telling you what you can legally wear?


    Is it OK for a man from India to wear a turban?
    Is it OK for a Scotsman to wear a kilt?

    Where does the line stop even at the local level?

    C.T.Boy, you have a mistake to address. Are you going to do it ?

    Do you think it's rational to ignore this ?

    Because if you aren't going to correct your statement, then I'm pretty sure your caterwauling over my other thread can be written off as a bunch of hypocritical horse manure.

    Tell you what. You admit you were wrong about the supreme court and I'll fix my thread title for you.

    Deal ?

    Nope, I was right as seen below. Prove to me that the sentence in the article is wrong.

    :laugh::laugh:Not at all on-topic. Your challenge is based on personal attire-in-public laws, not any broadcast decency laws, or laws concerning private establishments. Strip clubs are not part of this. Stop trying to squirm out of your own words.
    Show us this ruling. And remember you cited your original article as proof of this.



    Now you want us to look somewhere else.:laugh:

    It really does not matter what I post or how accurate it is ... you would never agree. That is easily seen as you will not admit that you were wrong in your understanding of the word "wimp" even though shown by several dictionary definitions that the word has absolutely nothing to do with testosterone.

    Let's go on to another topic.

    And you have yet to answer any of my questions about what clothing would be legal or illegal. Let's try that and stay on the OP topic, OK?

    Crabtownboy, don't be a wimp, and admit that you misread your link about the supreme court, and it caused you to make an errant statement. They have not ruled anti-nudity laws illegal. Just say it. Then I'll fix the title of my thread about testosterone.

    This has noting to do with broadcast laws and you know it. Just know that this post is seen for what it is.

    You must have become confused about what thread you were responding to. No one is talking about broadcast laws. We are talking about government telling you what you can and cannot wear legally.

    So Rev. what do you say about the real topic?

    The quote on the Supreme Court came from the article. It stands as the authority until you prove them wrong. Please do so.
