So apparently the word "Uterus" is inappropriate and sanctioned from the Florida state house of representatives.

Wish I were making this up.

How the **** is 'uterus' an inappropriate word?  And if they're worried about the pages hearing it, what does that say about the quality of sex ed in their schools?  'When a mommy and daddy love each other very much (and are, most certainly a mommy and a daddy - no other combination will do) and are married (they have to be or it won't work), they send a letter (notarized) to the Stork and - if they pray real, real hard (to a Christian god, of course) - the Stork will come to them in the late night (sometime around 8pm) and rouse them from their slumber (in separate beds) with a gentle call and grace them (god willing) with a color coded (blue for boys and pink for girls - cuz boys can't like pink) blanket wrapped bundle of god given joy!'

Oh, good grief.  It's the standard, technical, scientific (whatever you want to call it) term for the organ.  I think someone was just trying to raise an indignant smokescreen because he'd been proven wrong.

This makes me wonder how young those pages are, that the word "uturus" would be bad for them.

Next week they're going to deem words like mouth, nose, ears, toes, fingers, spleen, liver, muscle, bone, and, most certainly, brain inappropriate.

You're right Plu. I really shouldn't have used that nasty "b" word. It's certainly wrong to talk about something they don't have.

So they're old enough to be receiving invitations for kinky business, but they're too young to be hearing the word "uterus".

Right.

Also funny how the police had to abort an investigation because congress simply "refused" to give them the information the police needed. Yay, politicians.

... dood.  You just used 'abort' and 'uterus' in the same post.  They'd never, ever let you speak on that floor, sir.

I'm saying it on a D&D forum. I'm certain they'll never see it anyway, as their SatanBeGone(tm) webfilter will not allow them to visit this place.

Assuming they've at least advanced to the point where they've heard of this interwebz thing. Which I doubt, 'cause they haven't tried to ban it yet.

Well it's already proven inappropriate to use your brain while holding political office. So you may as well ban the word too.

So if they're going to stop saying the word "utereus" does that mean they'll stop trying to legislate it too?

Not a chance. This being Florida, theyy may withhold educational funds until school books are wiped clean of any possibly offensive words.

No politician from Florida, or any political talking head, commentator or otherwise for that matter that has anything to do with that state, or that would willingly endorse someone from that state has the right to insult Chicago and Illinois politics now.



Jeeze, Squirrel.  Can't you just go on another rampage? Just this time stay in Florida when you do it?

We need to get rid of both of the Dem's and Rep's. It's the only way to be sure the country can survive.




Or crawl out of the stone age we're going back to.
It's not going to happen though. So get some marshmellows and get em ready because it's all going to burn down anyway.

Did you read a few years back about Australia trying to ban Santas from saying "Ho! Ho! Ho!" due to it being offensive to women?

Well, I used to disagrre with you.  Last election I did all the research, voted for the candidates with the best record, and my candidates (most of them) won.

Then the governor of my state did this.

So I'll pretty much line up behind your concept of tear em both down.

I would like to propose an amendment to the constitution regarding elected officials. It would require that at the end of their term (regardless of whether or not they run for re-election) they be publicly flogged. A special election would be held to determine the number of lashes as well as who administers the lashes.

Well, Saint Nicholas (aka Santa Claus) is, among other things, the patron saint of prostitutes.

Anyway, reminds me of the story of a state legislature wanting to redefine pi to just 3, because 3.14.... was too complicated.

Isn't Australia kinda notorious for this kind of behaviour? I remember last year they wanted to ban women with small breasts from commercials (about lingerie for example) and movies with sex scenes and the like, because... dum dum dum dum... it would promote ****.

Actually, what we need to do is make it so that each party has to run on the other party's political platform and is legally responsible for implementing their policies if they get passed into law...
