That sucks. Censorship and prohibiting expression for the sake of the children...

You know oppressive regimes often claim censorship is for the sake of the helpless, the young, or the impressionable.

Are you calling Germany an oppressive regime?

 

 

 

Yes, I think most governments right now are oppressive regimes.  Mostly because of income taxes; income tax = slavery.

Other than that? Still, yes.

U.S. prohibits the right of individuals to choose who they want to execute their living and last will.  Prohibits people from getting the best medical care possible, by ignoring and denying research and practice.  Controls the media by controlling their access to government agencies.

Pretty much every western country is censoring video games, books, certain religions, certain political parties, etc. etc. etc.

I have to go, I just made a bunch of long political posts, and I need to go to sleep.  We have a hurricane going on right now.

 

Edit:

Democracy is basically Oppression by majority, but it's still the best form of government we've got.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
