OH NO!!! More personal attacks. So much rule breaking is going on here. Where the heck is the moderator(s)?!?

P.S.: The Hayes Code, instituted in 1934, was not gov't imposed censorship. It was censorship imposed by the film industry upon itself.

The Hayes Code was not government censorship. The Hollywood studios enacted the code as a preventative measure to avoid government censorship. Self-regulation was prefarable to government regulation (and eventual censorship).

HINT.....Hayes had been the POSTMASTER GENERAL, but his code, for films, was NOT begun in 1934, but during the silent era. It was gotten around and abused until sometime in, I believe 1936, or so and was taken over by someone else, by FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FIAT. And then it went at it in full force.

I am not home, so am unable to look the exact particulars up and post them, but trust me, you don't know what you're talking about!

What.....no refutation on my post about the BLUE LAWS? :-)

Hey..........you are no "victim" and a statement of fact, isn't a "personal attack." You've been whining about your threads being pulled, the supposed "censorship" here, and how the rest of us are STALINISTS or worse, since you got here. Those are the facts.
