    The hole prostitution vs. pr0n law thing is the dumbest thing ever.

    If I pay you to have sex with me, that's a crime.
    But if I pay you to have sex with me, and pay someone else to take a video of it, that's a business.
    WTF?

    I don't remember, did that actually pass? That was a quick "no" vote from me.

    yeah it passed unbelievably
    and we have had that conversation about prostitution vs. production before
    approach a girl and offer her money to have sex w you and you are soliciting prostitution
    but have a camera and suddenly all you need is the state there watching to make sure you have protection and to collect their taxes and permit fees

    It did not pass
    It only received 46% vote
    Don't mislead the public with the fake news man

    Also baffled that anyone thinks jerry brown has down a poor job. The turnaround from Arnold to now is unbelievable. Economy, environmental, literally everything is going well. JB inherited a debt and he turned that deficit into surplus

    Pretty sure about that?

    edit there was one passed in LA but the state wide was defeated even though 46 percent of the state actually voted for it.

    and if you think that brown has been awesome maybe you might want to put down the pipe
    he is bullshitting everyone about pension liability of up to a trillion dollars

    i personally think there is no better example of a buffoon in public office other than maybe pelosi and waters who are also tied to Cali
    “It’s all a lie! You run for office and the assumption is-Oh, I know what to do. You don’t! I didn’t have a plan for California, Clinton doesn’t have a plan, Bush doesn’t have a plan…. You say you are going to lower taxes, you are going to put people to work, you are going to improve the schools, you are going to stop crime. Crime is up, the schools are worse, taxes are higher- I mean, be real!!”

    There's your boy admitting the despicable truth of how hollow he is and yet the masses reinstalled him and he has the gall to say he should have run for pres
    Don't even get me started on the legacy high speed line he wants at an est 67 billion
    Think that will involve a little forfeiture all the dems are screaming trump is in favor of?
    ah but fuck it those are just hayseed farmers right?
    talk to ANY business owner in this state about what they go through on a daily basis w permits and regulations not to mention audits
    its not even a remotely uncommon story for the state board to eviscerate families and their means of income
    the thought is the weather will keep them coming back and it does
    we are well known throughout the business community of the country as the most hostile place on earth
    but hey i'm sure you run a nice profitable business here w no issues and are happy to pay your taxes
    or you just think any of those decimated businesses deserved it since they are money grubbing pigs right?
    oh and nice job on the dam in nocal btw
    sure he must have found out about that the same time we all did right?

    A shoe- in for president of California ( if that's the name you all decide to have and keep), when the secession comes.
    Is there a place for Pelosi you think? Czar of cosmetic surgery perhaps?

    What happened at Cal was inexcusable. The hilarious irony of ANTIFA is they use the exact same tactics of Fascist groups to protest the very thing they say they are against.

    The censoring business happens on both ends of the spectrum.
    The mental gymnastics people are willing to do to justify it is the astounding part.

    good ideas don't require force, and bad ideas don't require silencing.

    i understand the "it happens on both sides" and usually agree but the left is going full fascist
    please give an example of the right shutting down free speech so i might be enlightened
    seems to me the right fighting back is what has liberals going crazy and resulting to violence and calls for censorship
    maybe i am being partisan but i don't seem to recall the same phenomenon coming from the right
    misinformation absolutely i agree

    Does the POTUS's constant attack on mainstream news media, and the millions of people who support his position, count?

    not even close
    he is using words to battle words and there is no violence or censorship in that
    his ego and inability to take criticism is his greatest flaw but people can make up their own minds about the media bias
    unless you can point out a law he is instituting or a mob he is commanding to do damage
    the true dichotomy being the ass licking that went on the previous 8 years
    in a lot of peoples opinion its about time someone stood up to them and challenged the veracity of these negative stories coming like a landslide
    i understand why people don't like him i really do
    he doesn't make me stand up and cheer or want to attend a rally
    but its been a fucking month and i think he deserves a chance without being piled on daily for winking too much or some shit
    its just stupid at this point
    i was talking censorship and the fact he is standing up for himself isn't even close to the same thing imo

    Your initial response was in reference to California as a whole not just LA.
    Measure B is not significant enough since most Porn is in the IE and other places anyways
    Plus even though im not in favor of condoms in porn I think they should be required to obtain a health permit which is included in the law

    the rest of your post has a whole lotta nothing tbh
    Criticize Brown's policies and why they have been bad for California not select business owners
    Re: Pension... How does Brown get blame for that?
    His efforts to hire financial experts to deal with pension instead of politicians was blocked as well as his other plans to reform the system

    Rick Scott banning the term "Climate change" from official communications comes to mind.

    And here's a Harris poll with some surprising results, self identified Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say a book or movie should be banned.

    I get that what you were talking about and what I said might not be exactly the same thing. Both are First Ammendment issues though. Trump has said he wants to change libel laws to make it easier to "sue the media and win lots of money". He calls out the press constantly for things that clearly aren't libel, like he called the media "dishonest" for not openly praising his press conference the other day, which is clearly opinion. But when someone wrote an unsupported fact saying 3 million people voted illegally he ran with it and still talks about it like it's a proven fact. This might fall more into opinion on my part, but for a person in his position to make fake news claims the way he does, that alone is a serious threat to the First Ammendment and freedom of speech. It might not be physical violence or direct censorship, but it is meant to threaten the press. He wants more control of the media - and I get that he probably thinks he's doing the right thing, just being a good guy - but it's one of the key pillars of fascism. To that I think we both agree, that attacks on free speech are fascist ideals. But I don't agree it is a pure left thing. It is an extremist thing. And while you might not agree, I think it is very much an issue with the Trump administration - I'd even argue it might be the single biggest issue we should be concerned about.

    Just curious, what liberal attacks on free speech were you originally referring to? I know Milo/Berkeley is one.

    Man, I just read the Harris Poll and some of those numbers in the poll seem disturbingly high. Although, it was asking about books in school libraries, so I guess that explains some of the numbers.

    I found this result in the survey comical though...

    Should the following books be available in a school library:

    The Bible, 13% say no
    The Torah, 29% say no
