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

Some people would love it if I used that tag -- ha ha.
They have a big pout when something 'NSFA' makes it onto the Trending list!
Yes - you would be public enemy #1
Lol. I actually think it would draw people more than repel them...you might have some stick up their butts show up all offended, but I like to believe there are at least as many people like me, (incredibly un-PC) as their are those who truly live in a fishbowl ;)
I say what I want and if some American cunt doesn't like it fuck 'em!
Yes, but you are the Ron Jeremy of Steemit and need to censored

Sometimes I think that if it wasn't for the internet Americans would be able to avoid ever being unsafe!
You forgot Guns and Jesus!! Cant take those away!!
"So, how should a Christian view gun control? With the authority God has entrusted to it, the government has the right to allow or disallow gun ownership to whatever degree it deems right"

OMFG! Please let me read as much NSFA as humanly possible.
Seriously though, a lot of us on this side of the rock actually LOVE to challenge the status quo. It's really why America was great to begin with.
Thank you for the entertaining break in the Gattica wheel
Steem On!
What is a Gattica Wheel? - does that need to be censored too?
Sorry ... poor spelling that time "Gattaca" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gattaca refers to a movie about a dystopian future.
A common meme related to Gattaca is the idea that we're all just working hard to go nowhere (kinda like a treadmill or hamster wheel) and we're trained to use our perfect minds and perfect energy to go just far enough.
The lesson we learn from the imperfect brother is "Never save enough energy to turn back" just keep moving forward.
A very cool movie - I wondered if that was what you meant :)
Don't forget the dangerous Kinder Surprise eggs!
Thousands of Americans would be choking to death on those everyday if they weren't illegal. Good job aspartame sweetened chocolate is totally safe...
I prefer knowing people cringe, frown and complain about other people's freedom of speech. Hahaha
For some strange reason a lot of Americans seem to believe they still have that :)
hahaha
All laughter should be censored too
the way you provide information in your posts and divide it into paragraphs is the most thing that adds value to the post and that's why I follow you and like your all content
Thanks - the combination of short sentences, gaps, and pictures is the only way I can really cope with information.
Too much writing overwhelms me...
Glad it suits you too.
you are welcome mate
it suits everybody
I was indeed born in this "country," and I can attest to the fact that I have been evangelizing the good word of Steem, and yes, some of them are going to hate it.
That is fine, some people need to be forced to accept what is best for them.
You are a riot man. What you don't say in words you say with your to the point pictures. Most usa people are lead around by the nose, but I here your aussie press isn't much better in manipulating .
I'm a Kiwi not an Aussie - I'm planning to do a post about the differences and rivalry, and roughly we are a bit like Canadians next to Americans.
But yes NZ press is basically just as bad, with one or two exceptions like this:

Sorry for Aussie mix up. Was reading about how anti Trump they were. Hungry to learn about differences and rivalry. You have a great sense of humor. Especially in the bathroom.
