Remember the Puritans settled in the North. In any case wherever this originates, the US's puritanical tendencies (compared to continental Europe) don't seem to be exclusively a southern thing.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoI'm curious, does this kind of thing happen in Europe?
- afterburner 14y agoNo idea, but they sure tolerate nudity and sexuality more. The original issue is more of a bullying one though...
- waps 14y agoThere was just last week a big upheaval in Belgium about a collection of facebook pages where pictures, including names and classes and ... of the girls involved in them were being spread on a number of facebook pages. Most of them were closed with the help of the police, and the case seems closed now. But in reality it just caused them to hide themselves a bit better, and there's one still open that doesn't hide it at all. A few weeks before there was a suicide not far from where I live which the guy involved blamed on facebook. There was a similar case in Britain.
