censoring anything.  like should we be able to make jokes about 9/11 and put them on tv? i\'m not saying a joke like that would ever make me laugh, but i think you should be able to do whatever you want.  with GTA4 for example, the fact you can drink and drive is amazing but MADD wants the game pulled for that reason and i don\'t think that is right.


and yes my adrenaline was pumping.  it was my first damn traffic stop, really wasn\'t expecting that one.

It is a slippery slope.

You can put signs up that says "Jesus Saves", why can\'t we put up one that says "Satan rocks"? If we can do that, why can\'t we put something up that says "Pussy smells"? I mean, censorship is there for a reason. To set a certain boundary and once you cross it, it\'s a slippery slope.

P.S
Shouldn\'t of gave him a ticket. He wouldn\'t of pulled a gun on ya\'.

It\'s always a fine balance of having the freedom to say what you want but at the same time, trying not to annoy or offend the general public too much.  Thing is, what was offensive even 10 years ago may be ok today.

Times change but there always is going to be some level of censorship.  I wouldn\'t want my kids to see a circle jerk in the middle of a 7-11
