FCC to fine those that question God?
I heard that the FCC would start fining those that question God. Sounds like we are heading toward a theocracy.

3. Now who would decide that one?
New FCC Chairman: THE LORD HIMSELF

Oh, it's much, much worse than a fine.

4. I wonder what widdle Mikey Powell has to say about that...
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=%2Fnews%2Farchive%2F2003%2F01%2F10%2Ffinancial1802EST0373.DTL

"FCC's Powell declares TiVo 'God's machine'"

He probably loves it because you can capture all that wholesome swearing with higher clarity... :eyes:

5. And "Gullible" Isn't In The Dictionary
This has been debunked numerous times. snopes.com is your friend when you hear something preposterous.

6. I agree, but unfortunately,
with the crowd who's taken over control of the WH, it's gotten to the point that NOTHING would surprise me anymore!

7. Did that have to do with Mikey saying they were going after "profanity"...
Instead of the usual "Obscenity" or "Indecency"?
And I think someone took that to mean as in "to Profane GAWD"

One of the definitions of "profane" IS "Vulgar, Coarse"

Still, a lack of refinement or vulgarity is now going to be a matter for monetary forfieture.....

Yep, the X-ian Mullahs are taking over....

9. I have a few questions for God, myself.
I suppose you meant his/her existence. But, there are more than a few questions I would like answered, anyway.

10. Do you have something specific? That sounds screwy.

11. It was just a rumor...
I heard somewhere...That's why I put a question mark. I have no idea if it was true or not. However, "indecency" is pretty vague, and I could see them fining any speech that was deemed as "hate speech" toward religious people.
