Of course the line should be drawn somewhere. I think all American 
culture should be banned. It's nothing but sex, death and drugs. Who do 
you suppose taught Europeans about "daterape"? But who am I to make such 
a decision for the rest of the word? I'm not even American.

Well, your democracy, of which I assume you are a part, recently 
threatened to seriously damage Europeans networks. Whenever my country 
does something wong on my behalf, I take the responsibility. Kjell Magne 
Bondevik is a mass murderer, for instance. I had no chance to stop it, 
but that doesn't change the fact that he acted on my behalf. That's what 
democracy is all about.

Great. Does that mean that when I get a baby, I can make sure the 
American culture is removed from the internet? Because it's not exactly 
something I would want to teach a baby. Obviously, I would anyway, just 
like I would teach Hitler and the even older insanities. But your morals 
aren't really that powerful anymore...

You are becoming a dangerous class of countries; USA, Iran and China. 
Not all that different, when seen from the outside, but certainly 
dangerous.

Do you really want to discuss porn vs religion with me? I can go on. I 
really can go on much further than you are probably prepared for.
