    I’d paint dicks all over the town, so they have to walk around blindfolded or arrest themselves.

      That’s the thing… The bill is for 18+. What they are doing is funnelling sex fiends to the children their cabal sells. Epstein lives through celebrities and politicians.

      Sadly that’s probably true.

    I can’t believe it’s men who want this law, it sounds like a feminist wet dream. Marriages are going to the rise, but at what cost? Who’s benefiting and where’s the money behind it?

    In strict Islamic countries like pakistan, afganistan, yemen+ many middleeastern countries and some provinces in bangladish, india and so on…, men have 0 access to pussy; it’s all illegal: no porn, no escorts, and no girlfriends are allowed, ( gay is not even an option on this list). so everyone gets married early, and there’s hardly any grown person who is not, but these laws are miserable for men

      I mean, SWERFs are a thing, but that they are a meaningful category is in major part because they don’t represent mainline feminist thought.

    Honestly asking for second opinions: Looking at the report of the actual proposal, it seems to only target sexual content containing people under 18? Am I missing something?

      Based on a picture in the article of the first page of the law as its written, it seems to be modifying/enhancing an existing law that currently only affects minors, broadening it so that it covers all ages, and under new additional rules. IANAL.

    We should all consider the meta of the situation as well, with an upcoming Republican candidate election, and the need to drive people out to the voting booth.

    I’m not from the USA, I thought a felony is a crime at the national level, not the state level? How can a state specify that?

      Felony is more about severity and consequences.
      Misdemeanors punishable by a fine or “short” jail term, and a felony by more than a year in prison.

      Felonies can also bring penalities like being barred from certain jobs forever, restrictions on firearm ownership and depending on state loosing the ability to vote.

      Below those are things like traffic tickets or citations, which are typically a small fine and don’t involve a trial, unless you ask to talk to a judge.

      Federal vs state is a question of jurisdiction rather than severity. You don’t hear about federal misdemeanors very often because federal prosecutors are more interested in things like “interstate smuggling” than “someone urinated in public on the lawn of the Des Moines Federal building”.
      Or the weird “shot a burro from a helicopter”.

      Personally, I think we really need a crackdown on airborne donkey hunting. (/S)

      It is a state of the US, and this is just the latest radical conservative measure to get onto legislative debate floors.

        As has happened many times over the last few decades, the rightwingnuts will throw around a bunch of similar bills with slightly different wording in a bunch of atates to find out which version can survive the inevitable challenges.

        Ok, but the decisions made in Oklahoma don’t apply anywhere besides Oklahoma. Suggesting that the whole country is as braindead as the Midwest is, itself, also quite braindead.

        Germany is a part of the EU, but you don’t hear anyone blaming them for the fact that Croatia still doesn’t allow gay marriage.

          They care about in the context of everything else happening, like the abortion bans and the don’t say gay laws

            Abortion bans

            Several US states are actually more lenient than most EU member states when it comes to how late you can terminate a pregnancy. Pennsylvania, for example, allows abortions up to the 23rd week. Ohio allows it up to 21 weeks. Germany, on the other hand, only allows them up to 12 weeks. The fact that Texas only allows them up to six weeks highlights just how significant the differences between states really are.

            The EU cannot pass regulations unless literally all members agree to them

            But they can still pass legislation that affects only their country, much in the same way US states can pass legislation that only affects one state.

            Oklahoma is not the entire US and it’s idiotic to insist that one of the least populous states represents the entire country.
