If someone can provide conflicting evidence, a well-reasoned argument to tolerate them, I'd love to hear it, please, honestly.
No, other than the whole damned morality argument, the FCC's laws are archaic.

As much as I hate to say it, but potty words are essentially mainstream. In fact, I'd say that potty words are slang now (like "I ain't got no").

What IS offensive/obscene anymore? I don't approve of Eminem's homophobia, but he DOES have a right to say it.
