Sex VS. Violence Censorship

AFK..being taken to the vet to get neutered.
:tinhat:
If you don't desensitise thepoor kids to violence then you can't persuade them to throw away their lives for the gains of big business in the middle east? :dunno:

You cynical fuck. As if any government (supported by oil barons and war mongers) would stoop so low as to support a culture of increasing violence and fear, and suppress a culture that encourages fun, openness and (sexual) freedom.

Only by censoring sex can we truly be free to slide into a desensitized culture of casual violence.
 
i've always found this to be odd as well...i think to some extant it's cuz violence is somewhat removed from our lives here in the u.s. (sure we hear about it but most people go through their lives without ever encountering anything more violent than a fist fight) whereas sex is something which is easily encountered and thus more dangerous in many peoples minds...that's my guess at least

You forgot to capitalise God! I'll kill the rest of you fuckers quickly, but your death, Mr Rose, will be slow and painful.

Kill? You can't kiII anyone, that's your Overlord's job, Whimsy and I.
 
yeahh im with you Arden, people really dont understand how much more entertaining porn is incomparrison to violence.

why watch a guys head getting chopped off over a beautiful girl giving a blowjob!
like yourself :D
 
I just heard a commercial that made me sick. It was advertising some show and the guy said, "I'll give you ten seconds to answer before I shoot you in the head."

Yet if a commercial said "Ten more seconds until I cum on your face"...you know what the public reaction would be.
 
My college sociology textbook considers pornography a "social problem" and lists it alongside rape, pollution, and the spread od AIDs.

What the hell?
 
Remember the insanely stupid kneejerk reactionist craze around the Mass Effect "sex" scene? That's just how some people are; disgustingly unable to accept the fact that sexuality exists and ready to jump to extreme conclusions whenever they read about, hear or see anything related to it.
 
I think it is up to the viewer to decide.Sex may be rated worse than violence. But What about the TRUTH? People love sex. People hate violence. And people try to save their children from both (BTW I dont have kids of my own so sorry for not understanding). I think the free world should let the viewer to decide about whats right and whats wrong.
 
I'm always so baffled by American views on censorship when it comes to Violence vs. Sex... Don't get me wrong, I love horror movies! Though I do wonder... why is it that we are exposed to such violent material and yet something as simple as nudity gets cut from films as being too graphic? Media/ Films depicting torture, war, rape, slayings, shootings are approved for PG-13 and R ratings yet if there's a sex scene with more than 5 thrusts (yea they count the thrusts) it must be edited down or will pass for NC-17... The same goes for female orgasms, full frontal male nudity, & other erotic displays... I find the message disturbing-- that explicit sex is more threatening than violence? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts!
xoxx

I seems rather odd that sex is more of an issue than violence, it's a part of life, is it not?

It is even more so odd that sex is more of an issue than rape.
 
This is why religions should be left out of all kinds of decision-making.

Yeah, I think it's completely silly. YouTube for instance allows extremely graphic scenes from horror movies remain, with gore and fear splashing everyehere. But when in one of the best movie ever - Amadeus - nude breasts were shown for a few seconds - as an important plot part in the story even(!) - the enitre clip got slashed. Not the rest of the movie Nota Bene... that remained. But those foul, terrible breasts had to go!

It's just rediculous...

there are three things mankind need to thrive as a species:

1) Air
2) Food
3) Sex

Today, approximatey 50 to 200 million instances of sexual intercourse will take place. Assuming all of the results in at least one orgasm... that means there are 1100 orgasms per second in the world.

Religious nutcases: you need to get over it. Even you were created from a funny face, orgasmic moans and a wet spot on someone's mattress.

well I think the media wants to show much the world is filled with criminality, wars, sociopaths, psychopaths and other financial intrigues or abject people. So the rating approval is r13 whereas for sex, the media doesn't find it moral to see some guy throatfucking or slamming some big titted chick in the ass, so they rate it r17, because for them, this kind of sex is dirty,raunchy and evil. In fact, it shouldn't be. Some are into kinky and rough sex and it should be considered as part of life. Also the media insist that sex is intimate and private not public.
 
Call me a conspiracy theorist....but....
I have this feeling 'they' want to program it into children, that violence is normal and accepted and sex is not normal and unaccepted!
If they succeed they have some fine soldiers when these children reach 18.
If it was other way around, poeple would maybe be less violent and less willing to go into war.
'Oh no, we don't want peace loving free sex hippie-menatlity of the 60's no more.'

Great question! I don't have a great answer... wish that I did. But I'd say it has something to do with how we are desensitized to violence, yet we are highly sensitized to nudity, and especially sex. I don't know why, but doesn't that seem to be the case?

If you've ever watched any old I Love Lucy reruns from the 50's (other shows from that period too), you'll see that Ricky and Lucy weren't ever seen in the same bed together. It wasn't a violent show, but there were sometimes depictions of violence. And from Bugs Bunny to The Three Stooges, programming focused at children has always been full of violence. But look what happened when Janet Jackson just barely flashed some nipple at the Super Bowl a few years ago. A lot of people acted like she'd performed a ritual human sacrifice on live TV.

Like I said, I don't know what it is. Americans (more so than Europeans) seem to have a lot of hang-ups when it comes to nudity (and sex), but we tend to almost embrace violence.

BTW, there's a show that comes on History and/or History International that's called Roman Vice. I think it's being rerun this week. It's a good depiction of how the most advanced and "civilized" nation in the ancient world dealt with different aspects of sex and violence. In many ways, it seems that they were as peculiar (and hypocritical) then as we are now. Check it out. I think you'll enjoy it.

What this guy said.....Violence doesn't arouse most people. Whereas sex does.

Violence usually leads to depopulation
Sex leads to well you see where I am going.

Religion= social conditioning

nuff said.
