I think you hit it on the head there PF.

I've been doing all I can to avoid seeing any more about it as well. I guess I can understand some people's curiosity about wanting to see something like that but I'll pass. I'm perfectly content looking at naked pics of Pixies.

Gentlefolk,

Well here is a bit of good news. The only remaining video of Steve Irwin's encounter with the stingray has been given to his wife, and she said that the video of his death should not be broadcast.

Lixy I've argued this point for years.

How stupid that a breast should be considered not suitable viewing for children, yet the World Health Organisation advises that children are fed from them for the first two years of their lives.

Breasts aren't about sex - they are about nourishment, comfort and....dare I say it out loud...women's power! That's why our male society is equally fascinated and terrified by them.

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.

Cartoonist Bill Plympton pointed it out some 30 years ago (in his book "Medium Rare", which I believe is still somewhere in my basement collection): "Violence in movies & TV is OK, but violence in real life will get you arrested...Sex in real life is OK, but sex on movies & TV will get you arrested."

I love boobs because I relish in the feeling of a nipple hardening in my mouth while I'm sucking it. I love the texture of a stiffened areola against my tongue, and I love the soft yet firm feel and the weight of a full breast in my hand.

/me puts on my Freud hat.....

Is that a hankering to return to infancy, I wonder.......not that I'd blame you, of course...is probably the reason I'd quite like to try sucking on a breast myself sometime!

I'd like some milk and nookie .. er .. cookies.

Most video games have tons of violence, as do cartoons. Kids are surrounded by the stuff. Adults want more titillating versions - like live executions - because we've become deadened to violence by the time we reach adulthood.

Sad but true

I was gonna post a link to the news story here, but lost the link...in any case, it was a story about a boy (5 or 6 yr old) that hung himself, apparently trying to recreate the Saddam hanging...another victory for responsible journalism...

osuche,

I suspect that you are correct.

I've said that for years too, Osuche!

It is one of the reasons that I don't watch violent films. I don't want to reach a point where it no longer shocks me.
