It's not quite the same as Howard Stern, but you probably couldn't run up to the nearest 7 year old and begin a 10 minute curse-a-thon. |

This is America and you have the right to say whatever the [censored] you want to. Censorship is wrong, ethically and legally so. If the prudes at FCC dont want to hear the words 'anal sex' then they dont have to listen to howard stern. Why should they decide whats decent and what is not? They aren't even elected!! [censored] the FCC and anyone who supports it! Anal sex Anal sex Anal sex OMG my ears are bleeding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Ever hear of slander, weatherboy? Whether you like it or not, you cannot say whatever you want. Grow up.

Obviously you cant say ANYTHING you want, there are a few cases where freedom of speech is not allowed (slander, clear and present danger etc.) It does not take away from the fact that censorship is ridiculous. |

Re: HOWARD STERN, The FCC, and INDECENCY ???
I used to listen to the radio
And I don’t guess they’re listenin’ to me no more They talk too much but that’s okay I don’t understand a single word they say Piss and moan about the immigrants But don’t say nothin’ about the president A democracy don’t work that way I can say anything I wanna say So [censored] the FCC [censored] the FBI [censored] the CIA Livin’ in the motherfuckin’ USA People tell me that I’m paranoid And I admit I’m gettin’ pretty nervous, boy It just gets tougher everyday To sit around and watch it while it slips away Been called a traitor and a patriot Call me anything you want to but Just don’t forget your history Dirty Lenny died so we could all be free |

Re: HOWARD STERN, The FCC, and INDECENCY ???
Po Boy,
There is an extensive amount of literature on 1st Amendment law available, all of which I cannot sumarize. Basically, you don't have the right to say whatever you want, and the public airwaves are no exception. Print media, on the other hand, is slightly different. Yelling obscenities in a public place is also different. Not a 1st Amendment lawyer, James |
