For a nation build on freedom of speech America sure doesn't seem that free nowadays. As an American I say in my defense that it sort of creeps up on you, and it usually seems OK at the time... and then you get used to it. I am just thankful "they" don't have a way of censorting the internet.

England is the same, even on the five terrestrial channels. The Sopranos is/was broadcast on Channel 4 at around 11, and Five gets porn after about the same time. And we're supposed to be the reserved nation.

Exactly how is that NOT censorship? I would not hold Canada up as a beacon against Censorship, they just censor different things.
