1:32:07 PM- Class is starting late, this promises to be a good day.

1:32:30 PM- Today’s class is on fighting words and possibly hate speech. I’m guessing there will be a LOT of swearing.

1:33:33 PM- One minute into class and we have dropped our first F-Bomb. That’s right, one minute into the class and we are PG-13. Yippee Ki-ai-ay.

1:36:47 PM- Prof. makes the remark “This may be ambiguous.” For some strange reason her voice sounds like an even mixture of Gary and Ace.

1:38:57 PM- For those who aren’t up on their turn of the century SNL, that last entry was an ambiguously gay duo reference.

1:40:26 PM- Another F-bomb. Class is now rated R.

1:41:37 PM- This class is not in line with the standards set forth in the “For the Strength of the Youth” pamphlet.

1:42:33 PM- First time this session, “Are you with me?” For the one hundred thousandth time, 50 students silently scream “NO!”

1:45:07 PM- 3rd F-Bomb. I may need to talk to my bishop after class today.

1:47:46 PM- We’re now on George Carlin’s 7 words you can’t say on television.

1:48:26 PM- Oh great, she’s playing the routine.

1:48:53 PM- Right, I’m walking out.

2:01:27 PM- And I’ve come back. The class has moved on to something called Dial-A-Porn.

2:04:02 PM- Caleb and Jake think I should have gone to the Dean and complained. Next time I walk out that’s where I’m going.

2:06:29 PM- We’re talking about the warning that comes up when you dial a 976 number (apparently they have warnings). One student insists they exist and says, “If you don’t believe me, let’s call one right now.” I respond, “You have one on speed dial?”

2:08:20 PM- We’re now talking about the Communcations Decency Act, a Clinton law from 1996 that imposes controls on internet pornography. In case you are wondering, that is why you can no longer find pornography on the internet.

2:09:34 PM- Communications Decency act also helps keep sexual predators off the internet. Thanks to this act, there have never been sexual deviants on myspace.

2:13:37 PM- Wait, the Prof. is now trying to say that there IS pornography on the internet. Nice try prof., but when Bill Clinton solves a problem, it stays solved. He tackled AIDS and now it is cured, he tackled Welfare and now no one lives below the poverty line, he tackled Baseball and now it is a beloved sport with record ratings and is completely free of scandal, and he tackled terrorism and we’ve had no problems with it since. How dare you attempt to defame that great man!

2:16:28 PM- Crap, liberal hippie girl has a comment.

2:16:45 PM- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2:17:18 PM- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2:18:38 PM- Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2:18:48 PM- “Are you with me?”

2:18:57 PM- And now we are on hate speech. Life gets better and better.

2:20:39 PM- Apparently there are several kinds of hate speech.

2:21:31 PM- Apparently, there are laws against burning a lower case T on someone’s yard.

2:23:03 PM- Current case involves the Nazi Party going to a Jewish Community to make a pro-Hitler display. Sounds like Christmas at Mel Gibson’s house.

2:25:23 PM- The name of the town in question is Skokie. Prof. asks, Why did they choose Skokie. Brad postulates that it had nothing to do with the Jewish population, but rather because Nazi’s are all secretly Homosexuals and Skokie is the gayest name of all time.

2:31:15 PM- Kid in the back who thinks he knows everything feels the need to educate us all on the 1939 American Nazi Party. I really hope I get a better grade than that guy. He’s the same one who dropped the “polygamists were never persecuted” knowledge on us earlier this semester.

2:33:45 PM- Hippie girl gives another rambling comment. I realize we have free speech, but some people abuse the privilege.

2:37:21 PM- You abuse the right to free speech, you’re considered a loudmouth. You abuse the right to bear arms, you are considered a psycho. How is that fair?

2:39:33 PM- Should we impose civil liability on hate speech? I don’t know because Jake and I are talking about where the F-word came from, which is 100 times more interesting than the class discussion.

2:44:02 PM- According to wikipedia, no one knows where the word comes from. The Christian version of wikipedia says it came from Satan to turn people into homosexuals.

2:45:06 PM- Class is talking about the Jena 6.

2:46:52 PM- Now we’re talking about a Christian church that protested the funerals of soldiers, holding signs that said “Thank God your son is dead.” Apparently they believe America is being punished for allowing homosexuals and every soldier who dies proves how wrong America is for tolerating gays. They’re meeting with God at judgment day should be quite the discussion. It always amazes me that people can so fervently read the bible and yet completely miss the point. Let this be a lesson to everyone on the importance of continuing revelation and a modern day prophet.

2:51:45 PM- We’re now discussing Hate Crimes. This begs the question, what is exactly is a Love Crime?

2:53:14 PM- Why is beating up a white kid not a symbolic expression? Because everyone hates white kids. I hate white kids and I’m the whitest man alive.
