Correction, my comment was an expression of disdain for the MPAA. BTW, the drones create way more 'terrorists' then it assassinates.

The quality of the film is not a point of my discussion. The content is. The author of the opus on which the film is based has evaluated the sex scenes as pornographic. Gil, FrontRanger, and Lord knows who else have assumed that Americans will treat the film "unfavorably" before any action has even been taken by the MPAA. That is plain old prejudice on their part.
Honestly, I really don't care about the film one way or another. What I care about is the fact that people here at Bettermost seem to think its OK to be bigoted against Americans.

Yeah and some others are bigoted against gay men, especially the effeminate ones, and that is also tolerated so get over it.
Besides, this conversation is not about Americans, it's about the MPAA and how out of touch they are. They also treat foreign and independent films (ie: the competition) more harshly so that's another black mark for Blue. They also treat homosexual sex more harshly so I doubt an uncut version will reach the screens in the US.
Oh, and my comment was not plain old prejudice on my part. It's an educated assumption based on the MPAA's track record of laughable rating decisions.

Let me know where it is.

You didn't cite the MPAA specifically. You cited Americans as a whole.
As for drones, please see the Terrorist thread.
