Hello Stephen,

Violence?  Compared to the news media, movies, cartoons and especially
anime...  Well, MooseChat has nothing to worry about.

Subversive?  Hmmmmm.  Maybe some MooseChat messages might subvert
someone into thinking a little, yes.  Other than that, I thought
the exchanges between folks like George Bush or George W. Bush and
people like Saddam Hussein were often educational.  Why, they were
even occasionally amusing as well!

So like, I don't think MooseChat political satire or Performance Art
is a problem.  Why, either _The Today Show_ or David Letterman's show
will usually have more "subversion" than MooseChat usually does.  In
other words, no reasonable people will be overly offended.

Here be problems!  This wouldn't always apply to other continents, but
many North Americans seem to have really strong hang-ups about
sensuality or sexuality.  As well, judging from reports of "shock"
after Avril gestured with one finger during a recent MTV interview,
they also have some problems defining what should be considered
obscene.


Respectfully yours,
