Sex censorship killed the internet we love
I find the US prudishness thing so fascinating. I'm travelling at the moment, and meeting lots of Americans (and Europeans for contrast). There's definitely a huge difference in tolerance for swearing and blasphemy.<p>Also several well-educated and seemingly intelligent Americans who hold strong racist opinions. But that's another subject.<p>I guess it all comes down to the religion. Americans do seem to be more religious, specifically more Christian, and the Christian Church has always taught that sex should only be for procreation. Enjoying it is a sin, apparently. Though I can't find that anywhere in any of the commandments, or the new testament. Plenty of instruction about not murdering people, though, but that didn't seem to get through...
