Are Porn Movies Illegal Here?

[No name]

PRESIDENTIAL DECREE No. 969 makes it illegal. It was passed in 1974 but was used just last month to bust some folks so it is still active.I have seen other laws though, recently passed to aid in combat of secretly taping people in private places. So I don't understand why they would need to pass additional laws with it already being illegal.I have seen national law enforcement officials stating that pornography in the Philippines is illegal. It is like most things around sex in the Philippines, its all illegal but usually only busted if someone is mad at you. I wouldn't want to go though customs and get searched if i had Debbie does Dallas in my luggage. It probably depends on what they want to do.

Yeah, I love that Lee.When I found that law and copied it to my notes file, I made a comment to myself on the irony of that.That law was passed in 1974 but it was used within the last two months to bust some folks so it is still active.

Inspector - Its a deal.I'll represent you in the suit against myself.... send you to "my" doctor to confirm your serious life-threatening injuries, including your PST which will cause you horrible flashbacks every time you see an attorney, even on TV, or smell the aroma of coffee... turn the claim over to my Homeowner's Insurance Carrier... then I'll admit liability... demand they settle to fully compensate you for the damages we meticulously created documented... wait for the $ to come in... split it up... laugh all the way to a bikini bar where we will be big tippers........ and then.... and then Tom in Texas

:lol:If I knew Texas had lawyers as funny as you, I would of stopped at El Paso on my way from New York to Phoenix. Yes, El Paso...driving through Texas on I-10, with the El Paso million miles away sign every 5 miles...and after 15 days (Texas is big you know) seeing the El Paso only 5 miles away, thinking...FINALLY I made IT!!!...only to be through there in three exits. :Mad:123Oh, New Yorkers can be quite stupid ...as I was waiting for my moving U-Haul to be weighed at a normal truckers weigh station, only to be asked why I stopped this U-Haul when I did not have to, I noticed a german shepard type dog sitting in the merged dead zone between the trucks waiting on line and I-10 going into Arizona from New Mexico. I opened my door and tried to lure him into the truck feeling sorry for the stray as I was sure he was going to get hit by a car or truck. He looked up at me, with me coaxing him with some scrap foods, and saying come on boy...yet, I guess he felt scared all alone on a highway in the middle of the desert. I asked myself, how will he get water?...I was so worried for the dog. Finally, I made it up to the checker and after he asked me why I am there and waiting on line when I had a U-haul amongst all the big rigs, I said sorry, did not know.... then asked him if he could possibly save that dog sitting there in a dangerous place. He said to me in his sarcastic, I am a New York idiot, drawl...you realize that is a Coyote son? :508:

LOL ....... I feel your pain... my asawa and I took a road trip about 4 months ago... Dallas to San Diego... up the coast... and back to Texas on I-40. I had the same feelings driving the stretch from El Paso to Phoenix... I kept thinking aliens (the outer space kind) had abducted Phoenix... or put our car in an endless time warp.We were in the National Car of Texas (a Suburban) and every time we pass one of the "all trucks must exit" stations I can't help but feel like a patrol car is going to zoom out and arrest me for not stopping.Great "dog" story... I thought you were going to say it was a "drug sniffer" that belonged to the hwy patrol that you were trying to lure into your truck. Bet that would get you a cold stare out from under the brim of a troopers hat. I love your current avatar... we had our two Maltese traveling with us... one is the spitting image of the one in your avatar.Bet you were smarter than we were... made the trip during July... its hot in Texas, but when we stepped out at a gas station in Phoenix at about 4pm ... 118 degrees.
