Porn and Violence

[Senator]

Why is it that sex is considered more dangerous in society? Movies and games that have violence in it can pass lower restrictions, but as soon as there is sex, it is R18+

Like that teacher that got into a lot of trouble because of porn pop-ups... Our teacher screened braveheart for us in school. When it was fighting and killing, no problems. As soon as it got to the aprt where they make love, he fast forwarded it.

What the **** is wrong with society?

"oh my god, my child saw someone having sex, I'm going to sue your ass!!"

Isn't killing people worse than having sex?

HAHAHAHA
actually from my own personal experience it's the other way round.
at school we watched various movies like romeo + juliet, O, etc that has a sex scene where u see them naked and have sex. the teacher didn't do anything, she just sat there and watched with us.
then when we were about to watch Dracula, the teacher realised that it's rated MA15+ due to violence and horror, the teacher sent our parents permission notes to confirm that they allow their child to watch the movie.
so, it depends, but one thing is certain. sex is a lot funnier than violence

[orphean]

Holy crap, the only 'real' movie I watched in k12 school was Clash of the Titans in sophomore english :) I'm curious what your classes must be like.

[markus]

mc2 ROFLMA what a school. I'd love to go there ;D

Lord of the rings in school! WOW! lol, thanks for making me smile :P

[orphean]

LOTR i can sort of see, at least its based on books. But Charlie's Angels? CHARLIE'S ANGELS 2? :o :o :o

So awesome ;) I can just see the teacher putting it in: "This'll shut them up for a while".

[mc2]

hehehehehe - i told you the Australian Public Education System is as CRAP as it can get

my school? it's an ordinary public high school in Sydney. the students range from very smart and hardworking to very dumb and does nothing in class but cause trouble. But the majority are dumb and trouble makers.

the teachers? we used to have these VERY good teachers. but most of them went to teach at a private school becos there's better pay. so now majority of teachers in the public system are ****!!

and Me? i'm on of the smart ones. my academic grades are mostly in the top range. and yes some ppl refer to me as nerdy.

just to give you a comparison, this is how much funding each school gets in a year:
- Public schools = $AU 1,300,000 from state government funding
- Private schools = $AU 3,500,000 from federal gov funding + $AU 2,000,000 fees from parents = TOTAL $AU 5,500,000

our teachers started getting us to print off worksheets at home because the school has a shortage of money to buy paper!!!!!!

[orphean]

Shame you can't be in the private schools then, but at least you're making the most of what you have available to you. Don't worry about being a bit 'nerdy', you'll have satisfaction once you're making top dollar somewhere while the troglodytes are still at home working at car washes and the like ;)

thanx

[Bumbaloe]

My teacher doesn't let us watch movies or anything, but she brings us pizza and ice cream ;).

[ZerglingRUSH]

Man, I need to change schools >:(

omg he/she is so nice........i only ever had 1 teacher that brings in cakes, muffins, brownies and we eat while we do work :D

[PainKiller]

Our teacher invited us home to him and there we had a day off school just to visit him ;D
And everytime someone has birthday we are aloved to bring cakes and stuff :)

anyway.. about sex and violence: I guess there is more normal that people are having sex then kill other people.. some teachers are very wierd :-\

[Agamemnon]

It is probably because children get desensitized to violence earlier and earlier nowadays while sex is still TRYING to be kept sacred. But if you really look at it, the age the average teen has sex or drinks for the first time has been steadily falling over the years.

If only they would sit at home and play more SC. Sheesh... :P

[PeterPetreli]

But there has been lots of stuff about video games and violence lately. I think that they are viewed equally bad.

I think that they think kids are too easily influenced by things. But come on, sif we'll go and shoot people jsut because we play a game that does that. They don't understand that we play games because they are fun and competitive, not because we enjoy killing people....

[mc2]

There ARE teenagers AND ADULTS that go around killing people simply because they've played too much violent video games. It's a psychological issue.

[Agamemnon]

I would never ever go out and actually kill anybody, but when I am angry or need to blow off steam I do load up Counterstrike or Grand Theft Auto. It tends to backfire though cause I just get owned and then I feel frustrated.

Makes even me wonder why I play em. XD

[coalescence]

I'm glad that I live in europe, they don't moan about such ****.
Hmm, actually, Germans do, but we dutch ain't making a ****ing problem out of it :D

[danhillman693]

Well, I don't think violence in games is as bad as sexual content in games. If you look at it, Most video games, even the kiddie ones, have some violence. Sexual content can influence children more easily than violence, I believe. Graphic violence gives a more realistic visualization of what happens when you get shot in the head with a double barrel shotgun. Very very sexual activities in games don't, because then children will think they can score with a woman as easily as touching a button.

[reject_666_6]

If a kid's really determined enough, he can watch anything he wants regardless of age restrictions. While long-term exposure to sex can cause some pretty nasty behavioral problems for children, violence and killing are way worse so it SHOULD be the other way around. Too bad it's not. :P

[10-Neon]

In the U.S., there is a simple test to decide which political party you most likely identify with: if you think sex is a problem, you're a Republican, if you think violence is a problem, you're a Democrat.

Because I feel that neither is as important as quite a lot of other things, I am registered as an Independent. :p

[reject_666_6]

Why do US parties discriminate between which one is more of a problem than the other? I don't get it... If it was truly a problem then it would be a little more obvious than only a certain party knowing it.

[Shockfrost]

Because it's just more fun to solve hypotheticals than problems.
Solving problems involves work. But choosing the best hypothetical only requires philosophy.

And I'm definitely a democrat by that standard >.>
Ask any of my nice lady friends.
But the issue is actually much more complicated than just that...



The real damage from sex comes from stupid people raising babies.
One side is trying to win a propagation war.
The other side is trying to keep us from imploding.

I for one, am thankful our governmental attention is divided to BOTH issues. I don't want to be surrounded by idiots OR implode.

i sleep when watching movies i dont like

I think this has to do with how Republicans are more conservative, and Democrats more liberal

since Republicans are stereotypically more conservative in their values (and tax rates for big business), many of them are religious (and therefore Christians, as that is the religion upon which the US was built upon) this brings up all those issues about sanctity of marriage and original sin and conservative ideas regarding sex and virginity and purity and blah blah blah

Democrats, on the other hand, are more liberal, and less connected to religion than Republicans, so they gravitate more towards more social issues, such as violence. Since Democrats are stereotypically less religious than Republicans, I think their issue is with violence, something with which people of all faiths (or none) have problems

In other words, I think the conservativeness and religiousness of Republicans causes them to focus on the private subject of pre-marital/teen/gay/any sort of sex, whereas Democrats focus more on a societal problem such as violence because it is more universal and applies to people of all faiths or those who are not affiliated with one

[FlyingTiger]

damn nice summary Nikzad, i couldn't have said it better myself

I'm a moderate and proud to be one. ^_^ 

[Shadowdragon]

Not to long ago, I didn't care either way. Than I heard first graders talking about and describing things worse than anything i've seen or heard in any movie, song, or game (lewd things, obviously).

All of this in class

The teacher did nothing.

Sadly, I also know it's a problem near impossible to fix. Unless, of course, we have sex-ed in kindergarden

It is easy as a touch of a button :thumbup: ;D ;)


EDIT:

here it is

Warning: contains southpark
get your parents permission

[tweakismyname]

lol that one is funny but u sure u wanna post that here?

red rocket!

[Itsmyship]

Haha!! Such a funny episode. This is the reason I love South Park. They take certain things in society, make it humurous because we know that's how it works in our consciousness and then end it with a moral.

Very true. I hate that some people say South Park is antisocial and without moral, those people are just too stupid to read between the lines. :)
