[QUOTE]Originally posted by Machiavelli: [QB] I will say though Retired... I replied to SF the way I did to show him that even though something offends him like my language which some consider obscene, it is protected by the 1st Amendment. I also wanted to show him that even though his Bible offends me & I consider it obscene with it's teachings it is also protected by the 1st Amendment. Just because it is obscene for one person doesn't mean it's obscene for every person in a community so therefor a charge like this would be null & void. This was proven in the Utah Porno case that i provided a link for. Since I am a "simple minded" person who cannot provide such things perhaps you should look. But anyways we as adults have the right to determine for ourselves in the privacy of our home what we can read or view because if you censor words like Red Rose then where does it end? Next would be Stephen King with child murders by a killer clown in a horror book, Anne Rice with sexuality in her Vampire books, Freddy Krueger with his child murders (yes i know not a book but you get the PICTURE, pun intended), etc. etc. Let's not forget that Catcher in the Rye was one of the most frequently censored books from its publication till around 1982. Now it's considered a classic. So even though books like Mein Kampf, 100 Days of Sodom , the Red Rose stories etc. disgusts you, you really only have to not read them but you shouldn't take the right of others to read them much less write them. Once you censor words you truely are taking away the number #1 right in this country that has made this country the greatest country in the world (though thats debatable nowadays it seems). Our right to say our thoughts in written word or spoken speech. [/QB][/QUOTE]
