    Its full of evangelical Christians. That and Anglo-Saxon culture even minus the evangelical Christians is very squeamish around sex. Just look at the different attitude towards talking to kids about sex that you find in the UK and on the Continent, even the Germanic countries tend to be a lot more open about this stuff than the UK.

    The Brits seem to have an obsession with pedophilia on par with the far-right in the US that you don't see in other countries.

    It really is profoundly Anglo-Saxon (whether in Britain or the States). I really don't know why they're like that.

    It's definitely not Anglo–Saxon as in "inherited from the Germanic tribes of Angles and Saxons", afaik medieval and early modern English society was quite open about sex.

    After the Reformation, England bred or harboured quite a few fundamentalist Christian sects which had a huge impact on English and especially American society.

    Dude you can't deny facts just 'cause they're uncomfortable. Texas is American.

    I know it hurts, and I know it's hard, but you can't treat cancer by ignoring it. It can be cut out or medicated, but if you ignore it, it kills you.

    They're the ones that keep talking about how they used to not be America and "threatening" to secede.

    At this point I'm not sure we shouldn't kick them out.

    Maybe give the land back to Mexico?

    I'm not sure Mexico would want it, what with all the Texans running around on it...

    (To all my lefty/socialist friends in Texas, I apologize if this is offensive. Also, living in Iowa, it's not like I have a lot of room to talk...)
