My thing? If anything, you're just mad that I'm playing with your toys.

Quote:
This was modified in Memoirs v. Massachusetts (1966), in which obscenity was defined as anything patently offensive, appealing to prurient interest, and of no redeeming social value. Still, however, this left the ultimate decision of what constituted obscenity up to the whim of the courts, and did not provide an easily applicable standard for review by the lower courts. This changed in 1973 with Miller v. California.
The Miller case established what came to be known as the Miller Standard, which clearly articulated that three criteria must be met for a work to be legitimately subject to state regulations. The Court recognized the inherent risk in legislating what constitutes obscenity, and necessarily limited the scope of the criteria. The criteria were:
The average person, applying local community standards, looking at the work in its entirety, appeals to the prurient interest.
The work must describe or depict, in an obviously offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions
The work as a whole must lack “serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific values”
So there you go. A judge said something, then everyone else said, "Fuck that shit, it doesn't work. We need definable criteria."
You are equating your own position with a form of reasoning that has been
proven to be unworkable. You are, in essence, admitting that you are wrong.
That's still nebulously defined and subjective criteria. I'm voting "Yes" on Prop 8675309, the "You're Wrong" referendum.
You're still full of bullshit, and it's still obvious to the casual observer, whether they can define why you're full of bullshit or not.

How does that quote go, 'when you're convinced that everyone around you is an asshole, maybe you're the asshole?'
I can't believe neither one of you haven't grown tired of these antics and moved on by now. Like, are you both secretly getting off to this shit? More engaging than your hand around your dicks? Seriously, take a break and reevaluate how you want to interact on this forum - it's getting pretty (ob)noxious.
Nevermind, it already is.
I need more gin.
Yes, I know, but I'm having a good time. Watching the mental contortions the poor guy is going through to justify his behavior after having his hypocrisy held up in front of him...how many times now? I count at least three times that people have posted quoting him saying some behavior is unacceptable followed by another quote of him doing that exact thing? It is terribly entertaining to me. I know it makes me a bad person to take such a degree of pleasure in someone else's suffering, but since I don't mind being a bad person, I don't feel any need to stop.
I'm surprised Mayo has allowed this roll on for as long as it has without some sort of discussion.
Your Pal,
