In my defense, my own previous statement about the Bible broke my sarcasm-o-meter. System overload.

My dictionary says that in order to be obscene, something must be "abhorrent to morality or virtue; specifically : designed to incite to lust or depravity". Which begs the question, whose standards of morality? Yours or mine? Khadaffi's? The Vatican's? Marquis de Sade's?
And that's why I have a serious problem with PayPal's behavior. I'm fairly confident that what they find obscene is different from what I find obscene, but they force me to follow their definition, and justify it by saying that my definition is wrong or at least less right and less valid, than theirs.
