| 20:00:08 | Lucifer | chat time |
| 20:00:28 | celindra | yay? |
| 20:00:31 | Lucifer | This week's topic is Taboos |
| 20:01:04 | Ophis | Ophis (~Ophis@[death to spam].ns1.abiose.net) has joined #virus |
| 20:01:15 | Lucifer | What taboos in our own culture today will seem quaint or bizarre to future generations? |
| 20:01:23 | celindra | pedophilia |
| 20:01:31 | Lucifer | Where do they come from, how do they evolve? |
| 20:01:59 | Lucifer | Does it ever pay to break them? |
| 20:02:51 | Lucifer | Any thoughts on the subject? |
| 20:03:12 | Ophis | I have to learn to log-on to #virus 30 minutes ahead so I can read the article before the chat |
| 20:03:26 | Lucifer | you can wing it Ophis |
| 20:03:57 | Lucifer | Most the world thinks the US has some peculiar taboos |
| 20:04:17 | Ophis | Let's name some taboos to start with |
| 20:04:33 | Ophis | pedophilia certainly is one |
| 20:04:54 | Lucifer | * Lucifer nods |
| 20:05:08 | Lucifer | The attitudes towards sex are very prudish in the US |
| 20:05:09 | Ophis | hmmm all I can think of is about sex :-) |

| 20:05:34 | Lucifer | The rest of the world points out the hypocrisy of allowing violence on TV but banning nudity |
| 20:05:38 | Jonesey | race mixing with blacks is still a fairly strong one in the US, the intermarriage rate there is like 1/10th what it is in the UK, which now has a significant black population immigrated from former colonies |
| 20:05:52 | Jonesey | interracial marriage with other groups doesn't seem so problematic in the US |
| 20:05:54 | Lucifer | Maybe not hypocrisy, but certainly weird standards |
| 20:05:55 | Jonesey | asians, etc |
| 20:07:11 | Lucifer | where'd ranger go? |
| 20:07:14 | Ophis | There are anti-taboos too: things you HAVE to agree with in a discussion: |
| 20:07:15 | Lucifer | our local taboo expert |
| 20:07:51 | Lucifer | how about homosexuality? taboo or not? |
| 20:08:14 | referent | reserved keyword status, but not taboo |
| 20:08:14 | Ophis | in some circles yes. Taboos are "local" to different communities |
