Not Safe For Americans (NSFA)

Some people have been suggesting that Hardfork 19 should also have included a new tagging option – “Not Safe For Americans” (NSFA)

This excellent suggestion could have made Steemit a much safer place for mainstream American visitors. In fact other popular American social media sites like Fakebook and Youtub already have this option in place by default.

Here are some things that could make a Steemit post qualify as NSFA:

Use of taboo words that should not be spoken

There are certain words that no American should ever have to see, let alone utter themselves. These include:

The “N” word, the “C” word, the “F” word, the “P” word, and the “Z” word

Questioning of sacred cows

Long held icons of American culture are beyond question. Pointing out that any of these may not hold up well to background checking, would certainly qualify a post as NSFA.

These might include Microsoft, Dunkin Donuts, Alex Jones, the moon landing, McDonalds, Bill Cosby, Google, and Mickey Mouse for example.

Discussion of American statistics that don’t look very good.

Especially anything to do with health. Or money. Or crime. Or war. That sort of thing is just inappropriate. And NSFA.

Statistics such as: 66 percent of all Americans are considered to be overweight, the U.S. has never gone a decade without war, Americans watch 4 hours and 42 minutes of television PER DAY on average, doctors in the United States write more than 250 million prescriptions for antidepressants each year, and the United States has the most laws of any country.

Exposing mainstream propaganda

Some subjects can be argued about until the sacred cows come home, but there is always someone still left who hasn’t grasped that they haven’t got a leg to stand on, and will keep attacking the official story. The official story is official, so that means it is true. To say otherwise should be NSFA.

Some things that should never be questioned include: 911, vaccinations, global warming, low fat diets, autism, democracy, water fluoridation and anything in Wikipedia.

Being offensive

There are certain subjects that should never be encountered by any civilized American. Like money, religion, politics, or going to the bog (restroom) to take a massive dump. These subjects are cheap, unchristian, and politically incorrect…

By keeping all these NSFA topics hidden, Steemit could more rapidly become as popular as Fakebook, so this would be an excellent addition to the next hardfork
