I saw near open displays of pure porxography on video monitors and down one alley saw several Gallente people engaged in what could only be described as a "group activity".
And you spent how long staring at these things, exactly? Steam up the shop windows, did you?
Those who most adamantly revile a thing usually do so because theirs is the greatest hunger for it. You speak this sermon because what you saw is on your mind, because you want to revisit it, run it through your thoughts again and by crying out against it, you can do so in the guise of purity.
Besides, stick a little nudity in a sermon and a lot more people are going to listen.
The fact is... well, compare the average Federation citizen and the average visitor from a less liberal nation-state.
The visitor arrives on planet, checks into a hotel, walks out of the door and immediately buys as many drugs as he can stuff in the applicable orifice. He runs around for several days so far out of his tree that he's not even in the wood anymore, spends all his money and picks up a fairly antisocial disease. At the end of it, he can't remember a thing, though he'll tell everyone it was the best holiday ever for years afterwards.
The Federation citizen grows up aware of and educated about the use and abuse of the whole gamut of sex, drugs and whathaveyou. It's not the alluring forbidden fruit it is to you. It's more like dessert - you can have one if you feel like it, but you don't have to grab as many puddings as possible because you might never get another chance. They know what is safe, when they've had too much, what to do... and if someone slips up, and things get out of hand, they can get help, because there's no issue with admitting the problem in the first place.
Liberalism is a vital step on the road to a utopian society, for only in a society without jealousy can we truly attain equality.
