Yeah a lot of people care too much about the sex stuff, but I've never met anyone when pushed that actually said sex was WORSE than violence. At most they cop out and say "well I think both should be censored", which shows, among other things, a lack of any real thought. One thing I'll say though is I really don't see people running around screaming about prostitution nearly as much as they scream about how violence is "out of control". Also, last I checked violence is actually lower than it's been in a while, so they just like to SAY it's out of control as a matter of belief. That's not just hyperbole. When I call them on it and note the violence statistics, they literally defend their view as just what they BELIEVE is the case. Yeah, I know... Makes me want to implode my head on a wall too, because of video games.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
