Of course, I tend to forget that Europeans also tend to think the US is like the "wild west" seen in "Cowboys v. Do Europeans imagine talking about violence incites violence? I think we have a whole continent that demonstrates that's not so. Real violence would offend me greatly, but I don't comprehend the European response to violence, nor do I understand why that would have something to do with children. I try to be a polite person, but as an American, I feel offended by out-of-context body-part/function references, because they seem to be intended to be disrespectful, whereas random references to violence are such a mundane thing that they don't register in my mind. Even a business like Evernote follows that warped philosophy.
They are 1st class prudes by refusing to show anything that has to do with the human anatomy, whether in pictures or words, yet they have no problem showing the most horrific violence in great graphic detail in the media or on TV, even at an hour when young children can see it. I am always amazed at the Americans' ambiguity. The word that is "asterisked" is also used to designate a certain part of the female anatomy. Sorry about the asteriks in my post above.
