As one who lives in Europe, I am deeply amused and disturbed by the
current morals situation in the USA. Europeans don't suffer much under
this. If you saw our TV commercials, many of you would find them
pornographic. We see them as natural! What we are dealing with, here,
is simply sensorship, which is illegal in the USA, as in Europe. I
would suggest you all start harassing your government officials, net
servers, public interest groups, etc, and get this under control! It
won't cure itself. Only the squeeky wheel gets oiled.

I have been black-listed by quite a few servers in the USA, such as ATT
and Southern Bell, due to botanical terms. It simply shows how
unenlightened many people are. This is a fight against ignorance. It
has nothing to do with morals or religion, etc. I find it extremely
tragic to see education dumm-downed by right-wing radicals. It's time
the educated minority raises its laureled head.

By the way, just to add some juice, that particular F word, so dispised
in the States is actually from the Dutch "to breed". In Nederlands, it
is only applied to animals, such as cows and pigs, etc. Thus came the
insult. You were not describing a reproductive act, you were comparing
one to a barnyard animal! Somehow got lost in the translation, or rather
gained in the translation!
