Yeah, but that didn't work for the funding bill for children's health care. He cares more about funding a failed war than a sick child.

Aye, I know - McDonalds litter the streets
I'm just referring to the fact that the actual big names in the fast food industry all started here (as far as my knowledge goes). I would love to know of an original "all american" food that isn't lathered in mayo, beef, and cheese. I'm not kidding either, I'm really bad with knowledge of food to begin with (call it limited exposure).

Well let's say that I don't think that the strict censorship in US is an example of a free country. I mean, banning certain bands from performing is something unthinkable in Europe for example, and in the US it's a normal thing.

So you want little kids exposed to things they really shouldn't see at young ages? And if I recall correctly, Europe does plenty of bannage. I seem to remember a big thing about Behemoth being banned in Poland or some shit.

I can't speak for all of Europe, but all Scandinavian countries have a national church. But ironically, most of the citizens aren't religious.

The hardcore bible thumpers are far less influential in Europe if that was the question.

I'm pretty sure it's happened in Europe more. You had Germany banning the first few Cannibal Corpse records, and they couldn't perform any song from those albums live there either. And now recently, Poland is being anal about having "Satanic" metal bands like Behemoth and Vader performing live.

On the same hand we would NEVER think of arresting someone just because they did something such as denying the holocaust or making an offhand crude remark about some "royalty" figure.

America doesn't really ban all the sex, just on public television. HBO and other channels show alot of shit after 10:00 or something, and if you have dish or dircttv you can order from a plethora of porn choices. It's good that it's kept away from kids, but it's available for adults. Also, I think violence should also be regulated more, but I don't see how that could happen and I'm not sure if I really want that anyway.
Censoring is completely the wrong word to begin with. Most of the times concerts are cancelled because local Christian/public interest groups kick up a fuss and whoever operates the venue doesn't want to bring themselves into discredit so they cancel the concert. It's only censorship if the government outright bans something (something that may happen in countries like Poland but very few other countries that I'm aware of).
