Different Reactions

Porn was accidentally broadcast in the background of a news show in Sweden. The media was interested, some people were "shocked" but nobody complained.

If this had happened in the United States, the station broadcasting the material would be fined millions of dollars per man, woman, child, and unborn fetus that saw the program, the offending network would have to issue a lengthy apology and pledge to fight porn, and would have to pay for psychological counseling for all the children that will now become rapists and murderers for having seen this show.

Maybe my above conclusion is overblown, but the US is pretty scared of porn. You can't even show tits on TV, something that almost every infant has succled at one point or another. There is not one person who hasn't seen tits, a pussy, or a cock, so I don't see what the big deal is about the human body. Maybe it goes back to the puritan roots of the USA, but by at this point we respect no "establishment of religion."

I say, we should have a public porn network. It could be instructional for children, especially a lot of the people I went to CMU with.

I agree. Porn has been always a big debate. It's normal in Europe. Our country should quit following the Puritan ways. They were hypocrites.

I agree. Pornography should be available to the public. If you choose not to watch, thats your perogative. People always complain about not having enough choices. Then when they do have choices, they complain about the content. if you dont like it, dont watch it!
