Sucks donkey balls to live in South Carolina.

[LMNO]

Oh, assfucking Christ.

[Thurnez Isa]

Oh, BUMSEXUAL ACT SON OF GOD.

sorry LMNO but I will have to fix that for you

[AFK]

Oh, Appalachian Trail Hiking SON OF GOD.

sorry LMNO but I will have to fix that for you

I have to offer an additional amendment.  Remember, this IS South Carolina we're talking about. 

But seriously, yes, I'm also glad I don't live in South Carolina.  Bunch of batshit insane politicians they've got there.

Looks like that will be headed to the Supreme Court if it passes.

words, language, or actions of a profane, vulgar, lewd, lascivious, or indecent nature.

way to spell it out, some fringe religious nut is going to be in charge of deciding what meets those criteria i bet..

Surely you mean the Goddamn Supreme Court! (renamed in a competition by Frank Miller)

I motherfucking hope so.

Other states already have similar laws. I think in Tennessee, it only applies when minors are present.

I remember several years ago some people were whitewater rafting, and a guy fell out of the boat. He said some stuff I'm sure we would find appropriate considering the situation, but since there were children present, it was a crime.

I think he got like 2 weeks of public service or something.

No, it needs to be burned into their retinas.  Or brainwashed in as something their mothers always said.

But, what about that bill makes you think it's going anywhere?  It's in committee, I mean.

Also, didn't you hear?  The Constitution doesn't apply to actions that protect children.  Especially American children.

Given the history of a similar Utah law, I doubt it'll make it that far.  One of the big test for obscenity laws is the local community standards*.  Specifically, the have to be overwhelmingly against what you want to ban.  This is an almost impossible standard to meet, all you'd have to do to prove this unconstitutional is prove that teenagers swear... should take 5 minutes with a tape recorder at the local high school. 

SCOTUS will probably refuse to even hear the case unless SC actually wins at the circuit appeals level.

*This is insane in the modern world by the way, since if any obscenity law actually became enforceable, anywhere in the country, the entire country would have to obey it when on the internet.

While this doesn't surprise me, it makes me HATE living in this state.

Fuck, what a ridiculous place this is.
