Lawmaker wants to ban truck testicles!!!

[pcosmar]

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

I live in farm country.
Should we put pants on all the bulls?
What about dogs?

I have not read anything in the constitution about any "Right to not be Offended".

Yes! Pants for all the beasties! How cute would that be?

 

[familydog]

If I have to wear pants in public, so do beasties.

This is what we get when we elect democrats.

 

[kyleAF]

This is what we get when we elect ANYONE.

How many people have been elected in the U.S. history? ~200,000 people (complete guess)??

I believe we have far more regulations than that, most of which are completely unnecessary.

We need to stop electing legislators and start electing de-legislators.

Vulgar but you don't legislate them away....ugh

Jan 15, 2008
Today, a Chesapeake lawmaker plans to introduce a bill that will ban "truck nuts" from your truck or SUV.

The nutty idea is the brainchild of Delegate Lionell Spruill. We're talking about the fake testicles people hang on the backs of their vehicles. Spruill's bill would ban anything on a car or truck that looked like human genitalia.

"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.

Spruill says the idea for the bill came to him after the daughter of one of the people in his district saw a pair of the testicles hanging from the back of a truck in traffic. That's when Spruill put the bill in action. Although he says he hasn't found anyone to co-sponsor it with him.

Want to play games? Democrats RUN on banning things like this. I bet you that it's a democrat that proposed this (I didn't check) Republicans are more methodical in their crap. They tend to stick to religious and "moral" stuff, like pornography and gay marriage

Unfortunately, once a "democracy" discovers it has the ability to vote itself alms, it cannot be salvaged except through usurpation. This is because a voter-legislator complex will develop in which the legislator who promises the most new wealth transfers and moralistic vote pandering will get the most votes. It accelerates along those trends, until everyone grows up with the laws, and becomes desensitized to new and ever more encroaching legislation.

Basically, the State is like a cancer. It grows unnoticed for a while, and is not really dangerous until it suddenly metastasizes. The longer you wait, the harder it is to stop. It cannot be stopped by targeting individual cells (laws). It must be rooted out in its entirety, and all at once, lest it merely spread anew. But the immune system (voters) cannot accomplish this goal, as it is rendered ineffective over time.

/analogy.

I don't like either of the groups. I see literally no fundamental, philosophical difference between the two. Male genitalia in public is more of a Republican cause, though. The Democrats were/are the "free love" hippies (which I have no problem with )...

Just what we need - another job that Americans won't do. I for one would rather die cold wet and lonely in a ditch than try to put pants on a bull.

Sheesh, I never said I would do it.

Okay fine, make it skirts, much easier with the use of velcro.

Great, give the bulls a gender complex.

Good luck teaching them to play the bagpipes. Though it does seem the females would be naturals...

don't get me wrong; as I said, I'm a bit torn on this issue....I think they're completely repulsive...and the States do have the right to regulate them...however should they?

As I said, I take freedom of speech and expression very seriously...but at some point a line does need to be drawn...is this it? I don't know; we need to be very careful to regulate anything regarding free speech...because if 1 thing is "offensive", one day the Bible, the Constitution, Ron Paul, etc. could be considered "offensive" and not allowed to be shown in public.

Like I said, I'm a bit torn on the issue.

Testicles are just a part of the male anatomy. Whats the big deal? My dog has testicles that hang out everywhere...so what. Bulls have big testicles, as do horses, they have big johnsons too....does that repulse you? Hogs have huge balls....ever been on a farm? When I was a kid we took a field trip to the zoo, a huge Gorilla was in the cage playing with his balls...so what, I got over it, so did everyone else.IMHO anyone who finds testicles "completely repulsive" has issues they need to deal with before they start to worry about the behavior of others.

I bet I could get my dog to eat another dog's chopped up testicles.

Would you then eat it?

What does eating chopped up balls have to do with being "repulsed" by the sight of a anatomical part? Do yourself a favor, reach around and pull your head out of your ass.
