Sex or Violence?

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.

The same could be said for violence.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Quote:

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.

Why would violence be harder to explain to a child? In fact, the reprecussions of violence are made PLAINLY OBVIOUS. People die, get maimed, and are otherwised changed for the worse. Those who are violent are dealt with - whether dying themselves as a result of their actions or being incarcerated or something along those lines. Violent people are characterized as 'bad people.'

Whereas, most of the time when you see sex on TV, the reprecussions of such activity aren't made obvious to a child. It's just something that people do and it feels good. Very rarely are things like STDs, unwed pregnancy, and other situations that can arise from having sex even mentioned.

So when you tell me that somehow seeing violence on TV is worse than sex, I'm going to have to tell you to get that dumb shit off your mind. Watching someone get their ass beat doesn't make me wanna beat someone's ass. However, seeing a sex scene gave me many a mini-hard on during my formative years.

At the end of the day, neither are real constructive things to be showing young children.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I would have to say that violence is more of a byproduct of sex than the other way around.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sex leads to children born out of wedlock, which is the leading cause of poverty in the United States, which in turn is a primary cause of crime and violence because impoverished people lack the education to work in the legitimate sector so they do things like sell drugs, rob people, and shoot people in order to get money to support the kids they have out of wedlock because they have sex.

It all goes back to sex.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You people fail to recognize the simple fact that the consequences of wanton violence are plainly clear to everyone. People die, get maimed, and severely hurt.

However, the consequences of sex are not presented in the same way. It's simply something that is pleasurable. But what entertainment featuring sex in a provocative way fails to show the fact that STDs exist and that childbirth out of wedlock is the single largest contributor to poverty.

While neither is preferable to show to young children, it is completely arguable that sex is just as bad, if not worse than violence.

I was speaking idiomatically.
