Now parents texting own kids to do chores could go to jail

Government must not be given the power to criminalize speech it deems distasteful or annoying' . . ...

The Supreme Court refused to hear arguments in the case Barton and Sanders v. Texas, meaning that it gave a pass to Texas' plans to "criminalize protected speech." . . ...

The state's new law, Penal Code section 42.07(a)(7), provides that "a person is guilty of a criminal offense simply for sending multiple electronic communications with an intent and in a manner likely to 'harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, embarrass, or offend another.'"

I’m annoyed by quite a few things. I doubt there are enough Texas Rangers to arrest them all.

Ok, then take away their phone, and tell them in person.

Next case...

I find the SC to be annoying, in general.

Especially Traitor Roberts.

Whatever may be happening here, the United States of America is the greatest country in the world.

I can't believe parents nowadays don't understand the value of chores. Some are great exercise and give a kid a great sense of accomplishment.

My next-door neighbor has 3 young kids who are always playing on a trampoline, but never do any yardwork...and his yard is literally covered in pine cones.

They could make a game out of picking up pine cones, but nooooo...

Every one bitches about the lack of action against bullying but when they do then they get all whiny.

My dad was a World War II Pacific Marine, we had a list on the refrigerator. My mom did all the girls chores for some ungodly reason and I was stuck with mine.

My mama was a sweetheart, my sister’s grew up to be A-holes. Dad was not one that I chose to mess around with. I was better off for it in the long run.

WND is pushing the envelope on their take on it.

If one requests that serial texters cease and desist, I have no problem with slapping them upside the head if they refuse to stop.
