Is it really true that Texas could be voting to ban male masturbation?
Isn't that against several parts of Americas Constitiution?
Have to vote a lot of people out of power and start to get 21st century people with their minds in the right place. Time to push out people with Bronze Age beliefs out of power for good. It is not funny anymore. What are people that keep monkeys as pets going to do. They masturbate too and they don't care who's there to see them.
You do know this was done as satire, not a real attempt to make a law, right?
I thought it was real. Coming from the US, I believe almost anything. What is happening in the US still baffles me and the religious right can come up with almost anything that at first glance seems like a joke until you realize they are dead serious.
Seems ridiculous in these modern times.
They force violence on us, movies, news, video games and people wonder why there are so many gun incidences lately, they force sex down our throats with movies, TV, commercials and wonder why people are sick, sexually speaking, raping, etc....sad.
I doubt that is true. There would be no way to enforce it.
There are many laws that are unenforceable, but they make them anyway. Sodomy laws, for example. So this totally could be a thing in some places. But as much as Texas is a backward shithole, I doubt it's THIS backward.
I could see the headlines now...Texas in a sweeping bill outlaws Bump Stocks, High Capacity Magazines, Deports Rosie Palm and you can no longer drill for oil on your own property.
I'm not going to bother fact checking this... but based on the sensational quality of the statement, I'd say there is a 99.995 % chance this is BS. Most of the time when you see hyperbole like that... something in the projected assumption is fallacious. How closely did you research the topic? If it is real... is it just a statistical anomally...? Like some nut ball with a pen that represents a fringe, even within their own party? Just because something makes it to a vote doesn't mean most people that have a say take it seriously.
Fact checking this would show you the actual purpose of the proposed law. But hey, don't bother finding out what's behind it, and just jump to the WRONG conclusions.
You missed my point completely. The poster obviously did not get the satire... and neither did the first several respondents. This is what I was responding to.
