You are right. I have to work to fight the stupid inhibitions that society has
tried to put on me, and have already spoiled more than half of my life.

I'm sorry, now that I have grown up and that I'm able to think by myself, I find
that sexuality is natural and absolutely not offensive.

On the other hand I find war and racism (amongst many other things) extremely
offensive and obscene. While the later is probably not encouraged by most
societies, it EXISTS in most of them. And the former is considered as natural.

This is pissing me off much much more than a whole page of fucking on CCC.

Something else: car crashes where entire families get crushed, burned and killed
are happening all the time around you. Can you tell me why you would spend more
time and energy in fighting the word "fuck" on CCC than trying to do something
for more security on the road?

What is more obscene? A known chess programmer writting several time the word
"fuck" on the Internet, or a kid being killed in an accident?

What happened to our sense of reality that we cannot stand the view of a naked
body, while we do not care about learning during our lunch that 10 people have
just being killed in a plane crash?
