Sex and Violence in Apolyton

[Dis]

note: please do not post pictures of sex and violence in this thread

I continue to find this trend frustrating and interesting. Why is it violence is so accepted and sex is not? I still cannot understand it.

Now I understand why this exists in america for the most part. But Apolyton really isn't america now is it? It was created by people from other countries. Is american culture that pervasive? I have been to Europe, including Greece. I have been to their topless beaches (where else would a guy like me be? ).

Now I'm not complaining about the moderating here, so please do not close this thread. I haven't had any threads locked or deleted, I've been a good boy. I'm just trying to understand this trend, and how it relates to the world as a whole.

Hmm....I hope my thread didnt influence your OT-Post making decisions

This site is to promote/praise/whatever gaming!

So this is mainly a gaming site, not overall discussion board.

I think.

You should see Tass's thread in the community forum. BTW you always seem to start threads about sex Dissident. Why is that?

Which thread was that Tassadar? I missed it. I have been thinking about this for a few days.

I still like the motto: Make Love, not war. This was a great slogan . I think the hippies in the 60's had a lot of great ideas to get easy lays from women. They were geniuses in their own time. Drugs helped a lot in that regards too

Now, let's find a good game about sex, and let's start talking about and modding that.

OK I took a look at that thread. Well I'm no family man. But I still say sex is the lesser of two evils to have your children see. I'm sure little junior would rather walk in on their parents having sex than their parents hitting each other. So if we continue to talk about violence in the news, why can't we talk about sex in the news?

[aaglo]

The sex issue is very complex in many countries. For example:

In here the Helsinki cable netword refused to show porn on feeless channels on the 1st of jan 2003, pleading on moral issues.
The same network has also pay channels, and they continue showing porn.

So, they are saying, that it is morally wrong to watch free porn, but morally right to watch it as long as you pay for it.

Where's the logic?

Perhaps the thinking was that responcible parents with young children in the home WON'T opt in for porn on the premium channels, and therefore won't have to worry about their children being exposed to that same material on the "free" channels.

I agree with dissident - violence is much, much worse than sex. Sex doesn't kill people, at least not directly. Violence does.

Don't give me that "people kill people" bit, either.

but people kill people...

(sorry, couldn't resist)

What I find puzzling is that pictures of blown-up israelies and other such things are allowed in here, but red_jon gets banned for posting a picture of a guy where you can see a bit of pubic hair.

[aaglo]

It's a shame that sex is somewhat "tabu", and violence is not.
