Sex or Violence?

I would say that violence is worse than sex just by comparing America and Europe. Europe's TV supposedly has more sex and less violence than America's TV. (From what I hear from people who have been to Europe.) America freaks out over Janet Jackson's boob, but shows autopsies on dead bodies on shows like CSI and such during prime time programming.

If you look at the amount of murders, shootings, etc in Europe compared to America...America has a lot more!

Granted, there are other factors that effect this, but television is not only a good influence on kids, it's also their babysitter.

Quote:

Either way, I can't see how accidentally being exposed to sex on the TV would be harmful to a kid with proper parenting.

Exactly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Violence would be a lot harder to explain to a child though, as sex is something that occurs naturally that almost every person will encounter in their lifetime; violence is not.

What would you say to little Johnny when a man punches a woman several times before knocking her out? Verses the man making out with her and feeling her up when she's scantily clad?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
