More narrowly stated, the question is whether the human person should be treated as a commodity in the marketplace.

A horny colture with bad taste in womens faces.

That was also 50 years ago. The print adds are probably OK, and more like the old calendars. However, the TV adds are more unsettling.

And that's why it sounded odd when I looked at it on Dictionary.com. They have nigher and nighest listed.

[Bella_Bru]

we just disagree on what kind of products should be allowed in the marketplace.

So do the anti-2A liberals and they can find just as many moral arguments as anyone else is able to.

with bad taste in womens faces

Indeed. Miss Hilton's face is unrelentingly average. And she badly lacks curve.

Drug laws are pure morality regulation, but laws against murder and theft are the purview of the government because they are protecting personal rights and property rights (the only regulation the govt should be involved in, IMO).

The laws against murder and theft are pure morality regulation because they originate with G-d's Commandments, regardless of what a bunch of whacked out proto-Communist 18th century "enlightenment" thinkers came up with through their tortured and silly mental gymnastics.

Actually I was more free back there in the 50's than I am now... I had more liberty as well. And there weren't any Paris Hilton commercials on the TV, nor would any be allowed.

I just don't follow the thought that somehow my liberty and freedom is in jeabordy if I don't allow hard core porn into my living room. Why don't I have the freedom to not have the porn on my tv?

"The thing I find most disturbing about her is the complete vacuousness of her eyes. The are empty of any emotion or thought."

Most people who do drugs have that emotionless look.

Man oh man. I grew up with Sandra Dee, Doris Day etc.
Have times ever changed.

You mean you want no regulation of societal mores like laws against theft, rape, violence, slavery, public drunkeness, age of consent, etc.?

The first four are bans on violations of rights, which is the proper roll for government. The fifth is regulation by the government of behavior on its own property. Age of consent laws involve the protection by the government of people who are unable to safeguard their own rights.

All of these things are quite different than regulating ads for a fast food chain.

With you on that one ... I remember the pre-Paris Hilton days with great nostalgia.





I remember the pre-Clinton days with great nostalgia.

I had Farrah and Suzanne Somers (not literally  =)  ).  They were sexy, but not classless pigs ... like Paris.

Do you know whether she went to college? Yes, I wonder what she would do without the money. Also, what is she going to do as she ages and her looks start to change. How will she handle that?

[Modernman]

Why don't I have the freedom to not have the porn on my tv?

You do. It's called the power button.

[Nowhere Man]

"Hoe" alert and ping. Send Paris and Paris to Paris, it is the best place for them.

Miss Hilton's face is unrelentingly average

Everytime I see her face in profile it looks like 'Snoopy' to me.

[Modernman]

Do you know whether she went to college?

She didn't. She didn't even finish high school but had to get a GED.

Yes, I wonder what she would do without the money.

Spin around a pole and/or provide sexual favors for money.
