      Might read past the headline.

      Another “very drunk” woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man

      One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone

      Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.

        I wouldn’t say terrified. There’s these things called dignity and respect. NYC gave up on those a long time ago.

    I’m sure this was killed by bitchy socially conservative sheltering types who freak out about anything that doesn’t fit in their small minded view of morality.

          No one forces you to stare at the girl. People see offensive shit every day all over, but society doesn’t conform to all offenses equally, does it? Why is your ethics enforceable, but other people’s aren’t? Why does she have less right to practice her ethical choice to expose her body (assuming by your answer you would have offense)? Why is it more ethical to have others right to view taken away than for you to simply turn your head away? Ethics is very subjective, especially when there is no direct harm to either party.

            It is against the law. That means that society, as a whole, has decided that this is immoral.

            No one forces you to stare at the girl

            So that means that its morally okay to kill everyone who looks at me (“No one forces then to look at me!”)?

            Why is your ethics enforceable, but other people’s aren’t?

            Because ethics are only enforcable through laws and the laws currently enforce “my” ethics in that regard.

            Why does she have less right to practice her ethical choice to expose her body (assuming by your answer you would have offense)?

            Whether that is morally right is an ethical question but would you say the same about a minor (exposing themselves)?

            Ethics is very subjective

            Exactly, so what is the issue with the company having moral concerns about it and shutting it down?

    Here’s the thing. If people aren’t allowed to have fun with your intercontinental portal, why even have it at all?
