Well, we play video games, and video games have tons of blood and gore (even if in Civ, you don't watch directly the genocides you decide). If this was a forum of a porn site (or a site dedicated to some porn game), I guess the mods would ban anyone who dares to post a pic of a blown up Israeli

I think the main issue is that a lot people are completely and utterly desensitised by violence (I don't flinch at the news anymore, unless it involves some particular nasty stuff, Rwanda/Congo usually being a good source of the flinchworthy stories). Most people will never be involved in real violence and as such do not have a real connection/issue with it.Comment

SlowwHand - What's the big deal? Those people are simply helping the young lady look for her lost contact lens. They should be commended.

Anyway, on sex or violence issue, If I was a dad, I'd rather hear "Dad you're going to be a grandpa!" anyday over "Looks like you're gonna outlive your son..." (death sentence):-pComment

There's a difference, IMO.
Not all violence is acceptable for posting here - you won't see anyone showing stuff off the autopsy photos site, or a series of chainsaw dismemberment scenes.
There is a difference between gratuitous violence, and violence which is unfortunately newsworthy, because war, crime, etc., is an ongoing part of the human condition.
Photos of blown up Israelis or Palestinians really push that limit, but ME threads tend to be the most emotional and strident, and generally when people post those photos, it's to illustrate the reality in human terms, rather than the usual, endless rant about Zionist usurpers or evil Palestinians blah blah blah.
The games featured in ACS all relate to a great degree to conquest and war, and those are common themes in the OT, except that it's the real world, not the game world. T&A shots just don't have a "newsworthy" or anything other than a gratuitous use, and you can find them everywhere, or else exchange links with each other.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016.

It is a money-generating tactic, nothing more.Originally posted by 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?I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

As george carlin said.
"f--king is legal, selling is legal. Why is selling f--king illegal? We live in a society where in military life you get an award for blasting a guy's head off, and in civilian life we go to jail for giving a man pleasure for a fee. Whats wrong with this?"
Not relevant but just felt like quoting
