Now, I don't know what anyone else thinks, but being in Canada, I get to watch a lot of American and European television and movies. I don't think that either has more censorship, but simply that it's in different areas. That doesn't make sense, but it will. It seems to me that American censors (based on what comes out) don't care as much about violence as they do about sexuality. Network television is all crime shows and murder and this, and they don't have a problem, but you don't see nudity (almost ever!). European censors, on the other hand, don't seem to blink at the sexuality, but come down hard on the violence.

Now, I'm not saying that the Americans don't care about violence or the Europeans about sex. It just seems that they're more desensitized to it. A little bit of violence gets a higher rating in Europe than in America, but a more sexually explicit film will get a higher rating in America than in Europe.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get.
