    Hmm... if seeing lots of sex and nudity makes you a cowering, snivveling, defeatest, appeasing European, I've got to side with exposing kids to violence rather than sex; at least until the Islamist militants start exposing *their* kids to sex, not violence.

    Well, if you take a step further by allowing corporations and businesses to censor certain products at what point will you find out that you aren't able to even find whatever it is that you are looking for because other people deem it against their morals to sell it.

    Not to say that it will ever happen, but just acting as Devil's Advocate.
