Replying to Miles...
> Maybe it is a bit off topic, but I must put a personal sigh into a
simple
question:
> Why is it no real problem for age restrictions when people get
beaten up,
tortured and killed, but certainly would be a major issue if two people
would be naked in a intimate romantic scene?
> Why do parents think that pornography of violence is no threat to their
kids, but any kind of nudity is?
Because those of us who live in the UK, USA etc. live in a sick society.
Some years ago there was an independent survey of how much censors from
different European countries insisted on having cut from movies.
To everyone's surprise British censors did NOT insist on more cuts (as
far as running time went), but they tended to insist on cutting sexual
scenes or nudity whereas the European censors usually wanted more
violent scenes cut.
Sadly the USA is even more infected by the Christian anti-sex-and-nudity
culture than the UK is nowadays, hence why someone taking part in a
naked run at university can end up on the Sex Offenders Register for
life in exactly the same way as a rapist of children - what's worse is
that the Supreme Court allowed that law to stand saying that
proportionality was not a requirement under the constitution even though
it is in every civilised western society.
Those who make money from sex love the anti-sex culture - being
forbidden is a great attraction and a big seller.
Wouldn't it be great if violence was just as unacceptable? At the
moment bullies are taught as children that so long as they don't
deliberately kill anyone, they won't receive any real punishment (see
the sick "penalties" for those who put younger children in hospital
after the powder puff game a few years ago).
