And for repeat offenders, we can give them life sentences. We'll call it the "three strokes law".

Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

MODERATORS
he bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.
Deevers, a Baptist pastor who was elected last year to represent a rural district that includes the tiny cities of Comanche (population under 1,400) and Elgin (about 3,700),
So some backwater representative is proposing something that will never go anywhere. I bet stupid bills like this are proposed weekly.

i dont understand how things like this can even be pushed to begin with.
It's like banning a word because it makes you think of things that are somewhat unpleasant.
United States in 2024:
Sexting outside of wedlock: Felony
The word moist: Right to jail.
Murdering homeless people on a whim: Encouraged.

There’s no way that dude is not railing twinks every weekend.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but his doubtless moral hypocrisy is rustling like a loud chip bag in the movies.
Scariest part to me is the idea they create death panels.. sorry, felony sentencing panels... sorry, defining what is art and culture panels....

Another proud moment for Christianity
How would the sexting one be enforced exactly ?
The same way all these other proposed tech bans happen: they won't.

Of course, politicians will still watch porn and continue to cheat on their partners. Just you silly peasants won't be able to watch porn, because of Jesus or something!
They really want a christian theocracy. In 2024. Completely crazy.
So this is what our politicians work on all day....
My two take aways from the article
- I need to find a way to invest in VPNs somehow
- I need to see what comes up when you search for "sex dick"

Everybody's saying this will never go anywhere, but y'all, as someone from Oklahoma, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this bill made it through. I mean yeah, it'd definitely be struck down in court if it did, but I could easily see it happening. 乁( ಠ_ಠ )ㄏ

He's not trying to ban porn, it just all has to be like, my hot stepsister teaches me differential equations or slutty milf discusses Chaucer's use of metaphor.

Let's get back to the golden era of porn with some good story telling, step bro.

Let me guess: his wife caught him watching gay porn and since he is a good Christian he wants to save others from falling into the same trap? And now his wife is really proud of him?
Oklahoma is a garbage pot
No more sex in Oklahoma. It's a dry nethers state.
I don’t know anything about the states really, but this makes Oklahoma sound like a real shithole.
