Well, for Germans it's ok to NOT be treated as adults, because last time they played the grown ups they killed around 20+ million people.

I'd say, though, that there are far more words you cannot broadcast in the US, free speech and all. If not because of law, then because either the networks wont let you or because some people will "crucify" you.

I remember some years ago there was a huge brouhaha even because Janet Jackson showed some tit on a live show...
