serious pony-blowing. If I ever even get a hint they're pulling that shit on me, I and my entire family will be outta there, and shouting about it to the rooftops. That is beyond slime.

Re: Re: Re:
Well, you have to consider that average_joe is just that - average. Given the average IQ in this country today, I think his choice of nickname is at least intellectually honest, if nothing else. Therefore, consider all his posts in that context. I would certainly not want to be defined as average these days, as its proximity on the Bell Curve to "cognitively impaired" is now much closer than before.
Generally, I consider the opinions of average people to be no more than annoying background noise, to be filtered out. Average people are responsible for the current crop of elected officials, as well as the new contenders. Average people shop at Walmart and buy cheap, crappy goods manufactured overseas, and when they fail, buy them again. No lesson is ever learned.
This is why the average Joe will be the ruination of the country. Sheer force of numbers. See the movie "Idiocracy" for a preview of the future. It may have been written as a dystopian comedy, but now appears to be a legitimate prophecy, and we are well along in the process. I'm actually glad I am old and ill enough to know that I won't live to see it. I do fear for my descendants, though, but the process is too far along to stop now.

Re:
So you're advocating legalizing child pornography? Sounds that way to me, since that's the only crime that fits your description. I don't know of any other pictures it is illegal to possess.

Re: That ol' Valenti line
"In 1982, Jack Valenti, then head of the movie business’s trade association, told Congress in 1982 that the VCR was “to the American film producer and the American public what the Boston Strangler is to the American woman at home alone.”
From Wikipedia:
In 2003, Valenti found himself at the center of the so-called screener debate, as the MPAA barred studios and many independent producers from sending screener copies of their films to critics and voters in various awards shows. Under mounting industry pressure and a court injunction Antidote Int'l Films Inc. et al. v MPAA (November 2003), Valenti backed down in 2004, narrowly avoiding a massive and embarrassing antitrust lawsuit against the MPAA.

At least he was consistent in losing.
