I just don't get it. Why is it that violence is used so easily in tv shows, movies, and games, especially when compared to sex. Parents think, "Oh yeah, it's fine if they're watching people shoot each other in the face with guns, slice each other open with knives, and torture each other with things I can't even think of that they use in, oh, say, the Saw series." Oh yeah, sure it's "bad," but eventually, it's viewed as okay, sometimes awesome, or cool, or nowadays, "epic."
But not... dare I say it? Sex! "Oh no," say most parents, "my kids can't see this. That girl's breasts are showing! This is very inappropriate! Oh, but here, instead, they can watch this movie where the whole plot is to kill, kill, and kill. Or maybe, play a video game where my child is the person shooting at everyone."
People, parents, please get this straight. One day, when your child grows up, sex will be okay. It will be acceptable. It'll even be encouraged if given the time. But killing someone will NEVER be okay! We should really think about what we're teaching our children when we allow them, encourage them, to watch, and sometimes play the role of, someone killing another person. To me, it seems as though we are teaching them we'd rather have them kill, or in other words, hate, rather than have sex, also known as "making LOVE."
