Only is the US would teachers be allowed to show all types of violent shit, sexual acts, but a teacher can get suspended for showing this type of footage, but cant be suspended for showing Playboy footage without a principals consent? I'm sorry thats just planned wrong, and don't act like it isnt happening in some of our American Schools

Of course I can see the difference, you guys are really missing my point here.

Kids watching porno in schools is nothing new, although it may be completely hidden in some schools, I can guarantee you it's happening.

Sex and violence are both the same if you wanna get deep with it
Well ok so sex and violence represent different aspects of the experience.

Sex is normal, natural and beautiful. And yes before you go there I do agree that sex cant be censored from the eyes to young to understand it, but violence cant be censored either.

Brutal, murderous violence is not normal, its a natural part of life that people accept as part of a regular course of living. Violence is at its odd with everything ugly beautiful and spiritual.

If a television program were to present an extremely graphic display of a sexual act, even a loving exchange between a husband and wife, conservative voices would raise a loud ruckus of protest. But these same voices are contentedly silent as horribly perverted acts of grotesque violence and utter mayhem are paraded before young and impressionable eyes.

Violence is not only the passive viewing experienced on TV or in movies or in listening to explicit rap lyrics, but is also viewed in video games that I teenagers play and some of these games do envlove decapitation (had to put that in there). In sexual acts you are rewarded and in violent video games you are rewarded with graphic bloody scenes of violence, graphic in every sense except to see the pain and loss and the damn grief that accompany such a thing in real life. These video games are far more directly interactive than TV.

Now in sex and violenent acts, the person envolved is an active participant, not just a spectator. Well sorry boys I gotta cut this short, but sorry if I even started this thread or whatever, maybe I just really didnt make my point in the opening of the thread, continue to discuss if you want.
