I stumbled upon this thread again. Sadly many of the photos and videos are no longer available, but thankfully this one still is! And....hate to admit it...but I never hear this song before. It's awesome though! Gun youtuber Brandon Harrera tested a Luty. It wasn't very accurate but I wonder how it would do with a rifled barrel?

Okay. I SMILE every time I hear that song. Just can't help it. Love the Lego version.

True. You are entitled to your opinion. I disagree. They got paid more than the people F.S. Key threatened in his song.

The regardless part isn't attached to the term "prurient". It's attached to the word "consideration". In law "consideration" means "for payment." So a sexually arousing performance (prurient) is off limits for minors regardless if its being done for payment or not. Last time I was at Hooters the waitresses really weren't that hot but the wings were pretty good. And Hooters waitresses dress pretty tame by today's standards. But going by your Hooters example, if the waitress that you found hot came out topless with nothing but pasties on would you find that more or less arousing? You know that there was recently a story on this forum about a 6 year old that raped another child right? Now 6 is 2 years past 4, but I'm willing to bet that a child who's moved on to rape 6 was probably exposed to sexually explicit material at 4 or 5. Is your argument that 4 year olds should be able to go into adult venues because they are too young? Not a good argument.

Okay. I see your point. I need to look up the briefings in this case because I don't know how the plaintiffs had standing. One can argue for standing based on a "chilling effect" argument meaning "I can't do what I want to do for fear that I'll be arrested for doing it." I believe there's been a recent challenge by a gun store over Biden's pistol brace ban under that theory. In this case the plaintiff's were a gay playhouse that included a female Elvis impersonator. I don't see that as prurient. In fact at the conservative Christian academy I went to in the 1980s one of the girls did that for a talent show. That's my feeling on this. This law has been mischaracterized in the media as a ban on drag shows. Drag shows were no more banned then are heterosexual strip shows. You can get a lap dance in Nashville, you just can't take your kids to watch.

What the Tennessee law was actually trying to stop. Little girl allowed to rub on drag queen's crotch in Chattanooga Tennesse. Minnesota drag queen at "story hour" exposing crotch to children. Anti Federalist posted a thread about this back in 2019.

And...that's the "justification" for the 20 year Afghanistan fiasco. Ron Paul warned against that and nobody listened. Letters of marque and reprisal would have been the correct response, not a land war which we basically lost.

The actual text of the law: BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE: SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 7-51-1401, is amended by adding the following language as a new subdivision: "Adult cabaret performance" means a performance in a location other than an adult cabaret that features topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest, or similar entertainers, regardless of whether or not performed for consideration; SECTION 2. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 7-51-1407, is amended by adding the following language as a new subsection: (c) (1) It is an offense for a person to engage in an adult cabaret performance: (A) On public property; or

Kind of sounds like how we ended up in Afghanistan for 20 years. Please explain why I'm wrong for thinking that.

Just to be clear, the cops suck. The first amendment should protect people in Confederate uniforms singing Dixie if that's what they want to do. And who the hell traumatizes kids like that? That said, I still think it was a douche move on the part of Francis Scott Key to threaten people for wanting freedom. The British impressing black seaman (and paying them) into temporary service sounds like the Union impressing black freeman to build Ft. Negley in Nashville. (I've walked around that fort a few times. Interesting experience.) And before someone says "See! Lincoln was a tyrant!" the south was FAR worse not just to black people but to poor whites. The rich Southern planters forced poor whites to fight for them while exempting themselves from service based on how many slaves they owned. Still waiting for an answer as to why invading Canada was justified. Funny enough the U.S. best success was fighting at sea. Which...goes back to my earlier point. The U.S. could have simply better equipped U.S. vessels to be able to defend themselves from whoever was attacking them. Would have had the same result. But then we wouldn't have gotten a national song I suppose. Kind of the Ron Paul "letters of marque and reprisal" proposition that he offered as opposed to a land war in Afghanistan. And we see how that ended up.

LOL. Jimmy Dore and pals strike again! I can't stand Rachell Madcow anymore.

The judge that made this ruled was appointed by Trump dannno and Swordsmyth.

The U.S. should have freed and paid the slaves to fight against the British. That and the U.S. had no just cause to invade Canada.

We invaded Canada after England ended the blockade. And....why didn't the U.S. offer freedom to slaves willing to fight against the British? Rhetorical question I know. OMG! White sailors being force to work (for pay) for the Brits! Clutch muh pearls. How many Canadians were grabbing U.S. sailors off ships? Wouldn't the simpler solution be to have more marines on U.S. ships to defend them from being boarded? Hey, maybe that would be a good job for the black slaves that you want to free (if you want to free them). But...nah. Start a land grabbing war with Canada that you basically end up losing. Then watch the British overplay their hand and try to invade the U.S. and when you push them out declare that a "victory." Sounds like when Saddam invaded Iran, got pushed out, then ended up at a stalemate and declared "victory." Anyhow, thanks for the correction for which verse is which. Tecumsah was the real hero of the War of 1812 which is why, even though he was on the other side, the U.S. built a statue of him at Naval Academy.

Anti Federalist, that tweet mentioned they were stopped when singing the second verse. You know that verse is actually racist right? Benn Swan covered this years ago. The second verse of the National Anthem threated the killing of slaves who were considering England's offer to fight for them in the War Of 1812 in exchange for their freedom. Oh, and the United States actually started the War Of 1812 by invading Canada. And that's today's episode of "Things they didn't teach you in school but are true nonetheless."

A few years ago a radical feminist started tweet "A day without men" that trended. Women around the world would imagine how wonderful it would be to not have to worry about men. "I could run in the park at night in shorts without worrying about being accosted." Or "I could post a sexy picture of myself in a bikini." (That's pretty stupid because if there's nobody to comment on how good you look then how is it even sexy?). I did a thought experiment "What happens if men say the identify as women and show up to your day without men?" Well....turns out that's happening. Part of me doesn't feel sorry for the feminists.

You know Paul's letter originally was not broken up into chapters right? Here's the very next part of the same letter. 2 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism. 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. Now, consider the testimony of Joshua Bassett. He took flack this year for praising Jesus at an awards show. He joined a conservative megachurch that, among other things, promotes "conversion therapy" which is the (supposedly controversial) idea that sexual orientation is not fixed and that people can be delivered. Josh was attacked by his fans because Josh is gay. Note I didn't say was gay. He is gay. And guess what? While I'm not gay I have my own sin struggles. We all do. Somehow Josh found enough love at a conservative church that he gave his life to Jesus. But he still has a sanctification process to go through.

Elon should offer up a Presidential debate platform to any and all candidates that choose to run as Independents.

Okay so no Trump/Kennedy ticket. But, Trump and Kennedy should run as independents and debate vigorously about all the issues on Elon Musks Twitter platform, Joe Rogan, any and everywhere they can. They should act and run like the D party and R party does not exist. The only thing that matters is the Independent party!

I like station wagons.

No I don't remember that. So I had to google it. Part of Stormy Daniel's 15 minutes of fame. She's such a bimbo.

"How did Ron Paul become the 13th floor of the hotel?" LOL. Classic! It's funny how most of the other people mentioned I had completely forgotten about as they had zero political relevance or impact other than being people the media puffed up to be token opposition to whoever the media wanted to anoint as the nominee.

Can't be said enough.

Speculation. It was never argued at trial that Trayvon was a thief. And you didn't even know there were multiple times that Zimmerman was following Trayvon so you're probably just making that up anyway.

You've got your way. I've got mine. We're on the same team. :)

Wrong. The Georgia Supreme Court ruled in Nunn v Georgia that the Second Amendment DID apply to the states. That was the only major 2nd amendment ruling prior to the Civil War. The the slaves were freed and racists wanted gun control. https://youtu.be/euH__ImFHdw The 2nd Amendment when written didn’t apply to states, which enacted many gun regulations including gun free cities. It prohibited the fed govt from disbanding the state militias and had nothing to do with an individual right to run around anywhere with any weapon. twitter.com/RichardLWeiss/…

Speaking for myself, what would make my happy is when, in the words of Trump "People stop dying."

Yeah...I remember that song doo. Love Joe Walsh. Life's been good to me so far this half century.

It was multiple times. That came up in the trial and Zimmerman actually used that in his defense to argue from Facebook Trayvon's Facebook posts that he was planning to jump the "creepy guy" that was following him around. I wouldn't try to convince you. I'd try to elicit that response from you in jury selection and have you struck for cause.
