"If you think nudity is stricty art, then something might not be working right..."

Erm, Smurf definitely did not say that. You might want to read his post again. And, are you actaully claiming the Ubuntu login screen is porn?? Talk about something not working right...

BTW, the Puritans were a hypocritical, disgraceful lot. You might want to read the Scarlet Letter again. Or brush up on the history of witch hunts.

Not in general they weren't.

If you take any large enough group of people you can find a few individuals who are/were hypocritical and maybe even disgraceful, but that doesn't implicate the entire group. Saying Puritans are a hypocritical, disgraceful lot is like saying Muslims are all terrorists, or Windows users are all idiots.

You better check up on the revisionist history you've been reading. ;-)
