Dear Sofia,
I noticed a strange asymetry in the discussion of the representation of violence and sexuality between different countries, like, lets say, the U.S.A. and our own patria. Many computer games sold in America without any restrictions are indexed in Germany (that means, forbidden to be sold to minors, forbidden to have commercials, like Quake or Doom), other computer games have to undergo some dramatic changes, sometimes symbolic changes; for example, the original games show little pixel people killing and slaughtering other pixel people, and the german booklet explains these pixel people to be just robots, having a certain similarity with real people, without being real people (like Command&Conquer, a game located in the times of world war II, a time with robots seem to be a little bit anachronistic). The same goes for some movies, and of course the way weapons are sold in some states of America is quite unconsiderable in Germany.
On the other hand, in some states of America, even married people are forbidden by law to have oral sex. I guess these laws are somewhat obsolete, existing de jure, but not de facto, since nobody is ever condemned for having oral sex (except he is a president), but it seems to be hardly possible to cancel those laws. We sometimes discussed those papers with naked women which are sold (and shown) almost anywhere where magazines can be bought, in public, where children could watch it: it seems as if nobody cares. Or did you know that transatlantic pragmatism invented a "douch-bag", for women to clean themself inside if they feel unclean there (destroying their protective bacterial flora, I guess)? What do you think about it? Is it just a sign for two different cultural traditions, or is it an example for "The blood spilled by men cleans. The blood spilled by women uncleans."?

Yours,
John
