[Kuroimaken]

Where do you check those stats, by the by?

[Dan2]

Click on the "MEMBERS" button (right next to LOGOUT).

On the far right, there's a Posts area.
If you click the word "Posts", it reorganizes the list to order the people with the most posts first.

Time dubbed the US democracy to be the most succesful in the world. That gave me a good chuckle.

Well, our culture is pretty much steamrolling pretty much everything else in the world.  We're like the Romans, except less violent and more hedonistic.

Less violent maybe. But then given that the typical American doesn't bat an eye at seeing some kid with his brains blown out but starts whining incessantly when some woman takes off her shirt (thereby exposing her breasts)... Epic Fail is Epic.

American culture as a whole is really fucked up.  But, defining the reaction of the "typical american" is nearly impossible because of the extreme ranges to which the entirety of our population is capable of going.

Granted on both counts. Regardless, nudity evokes a far stronger reaction than violence in nearly all cases.

[Kuroimaken]

I'd daresay that's due to the fact that violence has been superexposed, whereas nudity has not.

Around here it's the opposite... boobs are fine, but violence gets a bigger reaction.

A Brazillian actor called Pedro Cardoso lashed out against our excessively gratuitous porn. He got attacked from nearly every angle later.

That could certainly be the case. I know it's not like that elsewhere in the world.

Does that make your democracy succesful? Was the ruling system of the USSR the second most succesful in the world in the 1960's?

Violence-wise, I'd say it's about even, but when it comes to hedonism, not even close!  We have yet to descend to the level of decadence where people visit vomitoriums just so they can eat more without having to stop due to being full.

[InnaBinder]

j0lt, I disagree:

Furthermore, that's not actually what a vomitorium was. It was just the part of a coliseum through which the audience left. To "vomit" the crowds back onto the street, apparently.
