About the only thing I like about the European culture is they are not afraid to publish pictures of nudity. I used to look through Der Speigel when I took German, and found it very eye opening. Too bad we're still so self-righteous (and hypocritical) in the states when it comes to sex and nudity.

Yes here in America you can get 125 years for viewing an email that you did not request which contained an illegal photo from Europe.

Only in America will we send a person to prison for life because they have a photograph. If you kill someone, you get 20 years, but a photograph of European Porn...... OMG..... 125 years!!!

It is a sad environment that we live under. We are told we are free, but yet we have laws that controdict that.

If we are a free society, then why can't an eight year old kid take a comic book like Captain America to school? A kid was sent home and expelled from school because he took his dads old Captain America comic books to school to show his friends. The school freaked out because it had a german WWII Nazi symbol in it.

In my own state a kid was arrested and kicked out of school for taking a G I Joe figure to school along with the figures tiny replica M-16 and Colt 45. OMG call the police, evacuate the school, and call in the national gaurd!

If we are a free society, then why is driving consider a "privilage?"

I can go on for hours and type all night. But why? As population increases, freedoms decrease and the idiots previal. Nuff said.

Wow, 5 stars for you, even though you misspelled privilege

{rant} I hate it when my rights are trampled, and too many people go with the government by default. Yes, child porn is a disgusting "industry" that causes a lot of suffering. But the gov't has no right to search and impound people's computers, and toss them in jail, based on which magnetic domains point in which directions on their harddrive, and how the gov't decides to decode those bits. You know, a jpeg is also a valid text file. And any collection of bits could be interpereted as anything, depending on what you use to read them, or how you decide to decrypt them. I think jails should be for people that are committing crimes that have victims... the US gov't seems to want to see how many people it can cram in them, on whatever pretext (drugs use, anyone? Why aren't Bush and Clinton in jail, if it's so terrible?)
