MODERATORS
It is still very shocking to us in Europe that the United States wants to control pornography before guns. I don't know many people who have killed themselves by masturbating.
I've come close.
Doesn't parts of Europe have stricter laws against porn or is that just UK?
I believe that pornography is illegal in Bulgaria, while in other places, there are no strict laws. There's a warning banner that you must check if you are over 18 years old. That's it. On the other hand, we have many gun control laws. Priorities.
Even the UK isn't this level of strict - the things that are outlawed are those involving lack of consent and those that are very likely to injure people.
