Go to the movies. Sex is such a taboo that if it's depicted in detail it is unfit for adult theaters. Maiming and killing is ok even for children.
Our morals are upside down. And constantly being reinforced to stay that way.
- Dah00n 3y agoThe same movies are shown in Scandinavian cinemas, and the prisons there are most definitely not in any way similar. I believe it is part of the US mentality. Like the SUV, guns, "Freedom", etc. Hollywood portray the US, not the other way around.
- autoexec 3y ago> The same movies are shown in Scandinavian cinemas Maybe it's better now but Scandinavia has had their moments of censorship keeping those "same movies" out of theaters. Sweden banned The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Mad Max, and even ET (for ages under 11). Norway banned Ichi the Killer, I Spit on Your Grave, and A Serbian Film.
- Dah00n 3y agoI'm not sure what your point is, unless you are saying those few films are what made Scandinavian prisons different, and if that is your point then I have no idea how to reply...
