man watching porn is mistaken for a rapist

I know! People act as if they'd rather have children view death and violence than to see the natural act of sex. Both are mature subject matter but it just seems violence is accepted when it seems it should be considered worse.

That was always my mom's theory for us when we were growing up. If a movie was rated R because of nudity, she didn't really care if we watched it (when we were about 13 or 14) but if it was violent, she wouldn't. I think she was probably right.

hahahaha thats hilarious.

i dont know why he's going to court though, wtf.

"Van Iveren, who lives with his mother in the downstairs apartment, said he did not call police when he heard the noises because he does not have a telephone."

Sex is not bad. Its easy to point to a violent murder on TV and say "This is a movie, never do this!" With sex, its not so cut and dry to explain to a child. Realistically, all children are going to eventually have sex as they get older, and most will do so in a somewhat irresponsible way at some point or another. By exposing it to them at an age they may not understand its much more complicated to explain when and why its okay sometimes, and not others.

So, do you rub puppies noses in their poo when they miss the newpaper?

It's easy to explain. You do it when you're an adult and when you love someone. Don't do it at the wrong time or for the wrong reasons.

Ideally, yes.
But even that is still more complicated then "DONT DO THIS!" when you see a gun fight

Dont do it at the wrong time- hell, im 26 and married im not 100% sure what is the wrong times and wrong reason every time. Procreate? Spread Love between 2 loving folks? I feel like getting laid?

Im not saying that its the right approach, but i think it pretty much explains why Violence is far more acceptable in society then sex in some respects.

Hey skitch, I agree with ya. I mean it's only really NOW that the media are starting to accept that kids are WAY to exposed to sex these days... I think sexualising kids is quite disgusting and the more kids see OF this type of behaviour, the more they behave a certain way. I certainly don't understand why anyone would let their kid go to a pussycat dolls concert :eek:

I'm not sure how to explain this correctly myself... but what I think I'm trying to say is that it's ok to be open and frank with your kids about sex and talk to them, but there's no need to let them actually see it. If you're going to let them watch it on tv, why not let them into your room? I think the same with violent scenes, WHY let them watch it? Why is it healthy to let them see it? I just don't get it. Kids THINK they are grown up these days, and they think they are grown up by being violent and having sex and it's a far cry from when I was a kid I tell ya :mad:
