I agree with you Lixy. I find graphic violence to be very disgusting and turn off the news or turn away during a program that insists on portraying it.

But, you know, we're not unique. I understand that while the Romans flocked to the arenas to watch people fight to the death or simply be killed; the they were horribly offended by Romans being nude (except at the baths) or by having sex in public (although the phallus was considered a symbol of fertility and often used in the home as a decoration). Nude Roman sculptures are usually copies of Greek originals.

I'm beginning ... well, okay, not beginning ... to think people (other than Pixies, of course) are somewhat goofy.
