Cancel culture has gone too far

Puritan republicans push government to ban films they don't like from adults. But what about mah children's books getting pulled by private companies!!



The bill, introduced into the Utah Senate last month by staunch anti-porn crusader Wayne A. Harper, is now headed to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law.

On February 19, the Utah House of Representatives passed an amended version of the controversial bill that would mandate a default “porn filter” on any phones, computers, tablets or any other electronic devices sold in the state starting in 2022.

HB 72, sponsored by Rep. Susan Pulsipher (R-South Jordan) — a realtor with no technology experience — was speedily passed by the House only hours after it had cleared the committee stage by the narrowest of margins (a 6-5 vote).

Members of Utah trade associations, tech company lobbies and free speech groups all advocated against HB 72.

If passed, the mandatory filters — from which for-profit, faith-based software companies have been profiting for some time — would have to be activated by default in 2022 if certain additional conditions, attached to the bill as an amendment, are met.

According to analysts, international manufacturers of phones and computers like Apple or Google could face civil liability if they don't comply.

You know Amazon has a streaming channel on Roku, Firestick etc. Freevie I think its called, but they have all the seasons of 'All in the Family' on demand. If I get bored I'll watch an episode every now and then for a good laugh, but you know whats really funny (?).... all the politically divisive stuff they cover, is the exact same stuff that is going on today. It really is.

Jean Stapleton (and Caroll O'Conner) were incredible actors, but especially her. That show was filmed live, and if one studies the complexity of her character and the way she handles her lines... incredible talent.

Did you ever see her in a role outside of AITF? Was cool, first time I did (I forget what show/movie it was) and heard her real voice it reminded me of that real old Vulcan lady who did the katra transfer at the end of Star Trek III:Search for Spock.

No, I don't think I have ever seen her outside of AITF. I was actually thinking about that after I wrote that. Sometimes these iconic characters can never shake that TV image, but I bet if anyone could have, she could have.

There's so many classic scenes in that show. :D
