Just because you can't talk about graphic sex on TV or radio doesn't mean you cannot engage in sex. Sex alone makes the world worth living in. I would rather do it than hear about others doing it.

I wasn't comparing the FCC to Nazis, I was using the 60 year old slippery slope argument of "first they came for X, and I did nothing. Then they came for y and I did nothing" etc, and comparing it to "first radio, then cable and internet, etc."

I got that part. I just think that a less extreme slippery slope example was in order. I think the holocaust slippery slope example should be reserved for arguments pertaining to situations where people's lives are at stake.
The slippery slope I understand and I also understand your point. I just didn't like your use of the holocaust as an example of a slippery slope when we are talking about speech, not about people being murdered.
What a bunch of whiners. I bet none of them would have survived a Japanese WWII internment camp, let alone Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
