    It's just you.

    "Italy" is not a monolithic entity. If some Italians don't want to view that kind of material, they should refrain from going to those sites. No one should tie up good Catholics and force them to view websites against their will.

    Stopping the use of force against people who are doing nothing more than publishing words should be the "business" of everyone who values freedom.
