Tell me, do werewolves have sex in wolf form or human form? And do you actually "have the lights on" when they're doing it?

Anyway, it does require a license for providing financial services. If a bank here in Germany refused to conduct a money transfer just because it dislikes the recipient's (legal) product range, then the supervisory authorities would come down on that bank like a ton of bricks. I am always surprised how accepting many readers in the US are when large companies throw their weight around like this. For anyone at the receiving end of such treatment it can be as bad as traditional oppression by government agencies.

You're right, you're definitely not in the US. If the government was to start looking over the banks' shoulders like that, someone would scream "communism" and "socialism" very quick and force the government to back down. We're only an election or two away from
Jane Government, or possibly something far worse.
We've also got a very long history of imperialistic puritan christianity. Its not much different from how the Islamists will try to take over revolutions in the Middle East; both are greeted with thunderous applause when they take over an area. It isn't until people realize the civil liberties they've lost that the awful truth sets in. I would know because my state is in the middle of such a takeover. Its been slow, but its happened nontheless.
The above having been said, I'm still not complaining about the loss of besti, rape, and pseudo- loli/shota.I still find it disgusting.
