It seriously needs to be illegal to propose laws that are unenforceable.

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Current state of affairs makes this unenforceable

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Is this free speech?

How would this have anything to do with free speech?

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Free Speech means allowing yourself to read watch or listen to whatever you want and not letting the government tell you how much access to the internet you and your family can have

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

That is not what free speech means. But it's definitely something the government shouldn't be limiting.

So is the government gonna start doing the parenting? Are they going to take the time and resources to enforce this? Are they gonna start changing diapers too? Maybe take on some of that financial burden of breeding. I fucking hate Republicans, they're so stupid. But liberals are also very horrible and terrible.
