A Brief History of the GOP War on Yoga and Its Pants

[Bro. Curtis]

Crabtownboy, YOU have claimed the exact opposite of what you original article says.

Why are you denying this ? It's there for everyone to see. The supreme court said no such thing. Your own article proved your point about the supreme court wrong before you even said it.

So admit it.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Crabtownboy, just in case you really are stupid….

From your original link….

….One might reasonably point out that this involves a great deal of subjectivity and could be a sweeping violation of free speech, but the Supreme Court has deemed nudity laws constitutional.

then you said….

Doesn't matter what I favor or not. The Supreme Court has ruled that anti-nudity laws are illegal. I would not participate in such an activity and I do not favor others doing so.

Therefore, nobody had to prove anything, because it's obvious you are saying something different than you're opinion piece does. You can try to deny it does, but you're sunk.

The quote on the Supreme Court came from the article. It stands as the authority until you prove them wrong. Please do so.

Just stop. Good grief


From your own article:

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled against a government crackdown on broadcast profanity and nudity, saying the Federal Communications Commission had not given fair notice of its policy change in three high-profile incidents.

The unanimous high court ruling, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, declared that the FCC's standards were vague as applied to the broadcasts at issue in the case.

What you posted was in fact about broadcast laws established by the FCC.

I have heard that the Russians in the days of the Tsars would sell themselves into serfdom so they did not have to look after themselves. A lot of democrats are doing the same thing these days. Now it is called "plantation mentality"!!

I thought I'd give C.T.Boy another chance to prove he read his own article and retract the errant statement about the supreme court.

Prove the article wrong. Until you can I stand as being right. After all The Atlantic has much more credibility than your opinion.

So, make your day, prove it wrong.

I'm not reading the whole thread ... well, maybe I will go back and read it later but all I can say is.....


DO NOT TAKE AWAY MY YOGA. PANTS OR YOU WILL DIE.

ROFL, Don't go to Montana.
So much for Libertarians on the BB who defended the idea. :laugh:

Nope. If you want to think that's what they did, go right ahead. You are not worth talking to.

Ann, the guy made a joke that yoga pants should be illegal. It had nothing to do with anything. Nowhere in the bill he proposed are yoga pants even mentioned.

Good because seriously, I think the person who designed yoga pants should be canonized. Mine aren't like leggings - they are loose and a bit more like fitted sweatpants and they are the BEST THING EVER!!!!! Don't tell anyone but I've worn them to church when they were new. A nice sweater and a pair of flats - no one suspected a thing!

LOL. I have seen women AND men wearing athletic-style clothing in an unfortunate manner.

Flaunting your womanly form in that manner may lead to dancing. Bad girl! Now go shovel some snow.

Have you read the bill? Will you post it?

David Moore, the fellow who proposed the bill said:

[bold emphasis mine]

The proposal would expand indecent exposure law to include any nipple exposure, including men’s, and any garment that “gives the appearance or simulates” a person’s buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple.

The Republican from Missoula said tight-fitting beige clothing could be considered indecent exposure under his proposal.

“Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway,” Moore said after the hearing.

Of course now as he sees the flack he is getting, and how foolish he looks he now says he was just kidding. Believe that and there is a very large bridge near here I will sell you cheap. You notice that when the bill was introduced it was unanimously tabled. No one was willing to touch it and look stupid.

Montana is looking pretty silly lately.

Montana has earned a reputation for meddling – it was the subject of recent mockery when legislators attempted to issue a strict, one-page dress code that seemed to focus on women’s necklines and skirt-lengths.

No wonder the Brits make fun of us.

Oh well, enough jocularity for one day.

Why iOS it that Crabbie can start threads that are downright Stupid yet get mor response than a serious thread on the Politics Forum.

I like to hit him up side the head frequently. Perhaps others do also! But it is a mystery?

The word is provocation.
