Judicial Malfunction

Spin spin spin.

Legally the FCC cannot fine CBS. There was no specific rule banning brief nudity on basic cable, the FCC have let less famous slips slide for decades, and they didn't use any guidelines for the amount of the fine. It was truly arbitrary and inconsistent.

Judges must decide the legal merits of each specific case. How is that "activism?"

CBS can't be fined for the 2004 Superbowl incident.

Now lets get a law banning nudity on basic cable clearly and quickly, with guidelines for fines and punishment, so that it never happens again, or if it does there will be an actual legal justification for a huge fine.

Homeschooling Families Threatened by Court Ruling

Good for the courts. Parents can still homeschool their kids, just go get your teaching credential or hire a tutor who has one. And teach your kids biblical creationism to your heart's content.

Why is it so horrible to hold parents to that standard? Teachers in the schools have to have a credential. To teach your children you have to have a credential. Good. Let's not single out anyone, give anyone an advantage, or persecute anyone, let's have everyone treated the same.

Hard-Core Pornography Isn't Free Speech

So most Americans, 4 out of 5, want obscenity laws to be enforced against adult pornography? Then why is the video and print porn industry a multi-billion dollar business? Obviously the American public wants it. The way to change society's consumption is not to write the attorney general, but to stop spending money on porn. No market and no buyers, the manufacturers of porn will then have to make money doing something else. If that's not what the American people want, then I say the current society is perfect for them.

How silly. Planned Parenthood wants people to have unprotected sex because they can make $$$ off of treating STDs and abortions?

According to that logic:

Doctors WANT people to get sick.
School counselors WANT students to be troubled.
Cops WANT people to commit crimes.
People who work in foster care WANT families to break up and abuse their children.
Drug counselors WANT people to do drugs.
Psychiatrists WANT people to be mentally ill.

Providing services for the aftermath of something does NOT mean that they encourage the activity.

Is Life a Right?

If life is a RIGHT, then why do so many people die in the U.S. because they don't have the money to pay for life extending medications? After all, it's their right! Why not FORCE healthy people to pay $$$ to extend the lives of others?

If life is a RIGHT, then why do so many die awaiting organ transplants? It's their right! Why not FORCE healthy people to donate, blood, marrow, and one kidney?

Life is a gift and an opportunity, not a right. If I am dying of hunger and need money and an organ, I don't have the right to those things. I ethically deserve them, am entitled to them, but they are not RIGHTS I can demand because I have a right to life.

State Senator 'Sues' God

Hello! His lawsuit isn't serious. It's a stunt to make a point about how easily you can file a lawsuit against anyone for anything. He wants frivolous lawsuits to stop and is doing this to draw publicity to the process. I guess it's working too, since reactionary lemmings are jumping in to "defend" God when this senator is not seriously suing him.

High Birth Control Costs Add to College Concerns

Exactly. "May," the theoretical possibility that exists in regular birth control pills, and Cox-2 inhibitors, like Vioxx and Celebrex. So if you're against Plan B because it MIGHT have a CHANCE of interfering with implantation then you have to be against the REGULAR birth control pill because it has the same chance because it is the SAME hormones. But no, the Christianpost articles never say this, they never say that Plan B supresses ovulation, they never say that the reason it's not 100% is because if an egg has already dropped then you get pregnant, they focus on the POSSIBILITY that it could interfere with implantation like the medication Vioxx, and since they decide to reinterpret their own version of science and write it as fact they lose credibility. Just say that Plan B is the same hormone as the regular birth control pill, just a higher dose, and works the same way to suppress ovulation and prevent fertilization, so it's not an abortion, and then move on with talking about sexual behavior. This article would have good points about sex, abstinence, and mental health if it didn't lie about science and discredit itself.

HUH? Plan B works by suppressing ovulation and thus preventing fertilization, NOT by preventing implantation. It's a large dose of the regular birth control hormone and works the same way by preventing the release of the egg. When they include false information it can discredit the entire article. Be more responsible and LOOK at the science, Christianpost!
