Lawmaker wants to ban truck testicles!!!

[amy31416]

As far as I'm concerned, they're A-OK and make it very easy to tell who's a moron from a distance.

A couple years ago a guy in Key West was busted for a pair on his car.
He was charged with displaying genitals.
HE IS NOW A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER.
How dumb is that?

That's completely nuts.




BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ahem, sorry.

Seriously, that's ridiculous. It pisses me off to see the sex offender website misused, it only waters down the value of it.

 

[Carehn]

just another example of our representatives wasting money and time!
hell if they can pass a law to ban these things, then they might think about passing a law that you have to neuter your dog before you take him into the public!!!

Yep! You would think there would be better things to concern yourself with. But no truck testicles take top priority.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

that's totally disgusting.

While I'm all for freedom of expression and speech, I do think that it should be limited in some cases....I mean, how far are we willing to go? If it suddenly became the "in" thing to have sex out in the open, don't you think there should be some kind of law against that? What about someone who walks up to me and suddenly flashes me (or something similar), should that be protected under "freedom of expression"?

I think that our interpretation of "Freedom of speech" should be VERY liberal...but I do think that there should be some exceptions....just not at the Federal level (State level, yes, but not federal).

I don't see how it is any of your business. I like the nuts. It's cool

"Yeah, I definitely think those should be outlawed. I don't approve of that," says one local woman we talked to.

But others think its no big deal.

"Nah, that's not vulgar, that's funny," says one man.

Spruill says these types of dangling do-dads are tacky, vulgar, and downright embarrassing. It still has a long way to go before it ever becomes law.

"It comes to a point where there are certain things you just can't do. And putting testicles on the back of a truck is just too much. So I am trying to stop it," he tells NewsChannel 3 in an interview.http://www.wtkr.com/global/story.asp?s=7625589

THIS is why this country is in such bad shape right now; people have the mistaken impression that any speech, activity, or symbol that an individual or group deems personally objectionable is automatically fair game for becoming illegal.

Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I get to call in the State to impose my tastes, especially when it tramples over the rights of other who do not share them.

Any child who has to ask what they are has been kept in the dark too long.
Go to any farm that has bulls and pigs and such and ask a child what they are and they will tell you right off what they are. What is the big secret?

People can be so ignorant about stuff like this.

 

[acptulsa]

Help end imperialistic petrowars. How can you help? Simple--end our dependence on imported oil. And the best way to do this is to spay or neuter a light truck today!

Agreed. We're creating perverts when we try to "keep them safe."

 

[Dr.3D]

Well, we sure are keeping them ignorant that's for sure.
In the little town in Mexico (Juchitlan) where I was living with my father in the winters, every kid knew what testicles were.
It's not kept a secret down there.... why is it such a secret here?
They also knew about death, they saw it everyday as animals died and were left in the arroyo. In the spring, the creek would flood and take out what was left of the carcasses.

*shrug* Nudity on land you own is fine and dandy. However, the roads are unfortunately public which creates a host of problems.

Does the government have the right to ban who they want from driving on "their" roads?

Is nudity a form of aggression?

If the girl (...guy) was appealing?

Tough questions.

Public roads, right? Any ban on nudity in a public space is an infringement of people's rights.

What does someones being nude do to somebody else? Is it causing someone else harm? I never could understand what the big deal about that is either. In Europe at the beaches, you see a lot more nudity than you do in the U.S.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

I wanna see naked women on the street!

Maybe that is the problem... some people just keep tripping on their penis when they see a nude woman. Some I suppose would even lose control of themselves and do something to the woman she doesn't want done. I guess that is because people around here are not used to seeing such a thing and that makes them go a little crazy. If there had never been any laws about nudity, then I suppose people would be more used to it and there would be no problem.

Oh well.

 

[Dr.3D]

Yeah, what is considered indecent is in the mind of the observer. People who see something wrong with truck testicles are perverted.

Well... I suppose that'd be incentive to wear clothes....

Free Market fixes everything

The OP has nothing to do with wearing clothes.
It is about banning these,
http://www.thatsnutz.com/truck-nuts-c-65.html
http://www.bumpernuts.com/
http://www.bullsballs.com/red/truck/balls.html

And making then illegal.
Silly waste of time on our Lawmakers part.

Right... We got off-topic. I suppose it stemmed from "offensive" images being allowed in public and if they're a form of aggression.
