    The only reason I don't like those things in movies personally, isn't because of what blood is, but because the minds of most creators who put these things in moves generally suck at storytelling, and put up bewbs and blood, to advertise.

    But I equally find the idea of "I don't want to hear your opinion, or hear your side of the story" equally damaging to our society.

    Saying you don;t want to see some fat guy naked walking down the street, might be the truth for most people, but (1) you wouldn't care at all, if it was the normal thing to see, and (2) it's damaging to said persons self-esteem.
    I'm sure everyone is ok with good looking people naked, and not ok with "not good looking" people. (Based on their opinion of the 2.)

    The ONLY reason I would use censorship, is if it is harmful, and or can't be understood yet, until previous steps were taught. (AKA basic math before algebra.)
    I completely agree with the bolded statement, and I think it's something a lot of people don't understand.

    However, to say only parents care about censoring movies, and everyone would be ok with good-looking naked people is generalizing a bit, I think. I can think of quite a few people who wouldn't feel that way, some parents, some not.

    As for people's attitudes about not wanting to hear out other people... it depends on what you mean I guess. That really goes both ways. In regards to the topic, the person who is making offensive names is being disrepectful both to the rules and to people around him who don't want to see that sort of thing. So in that case, a respect of authority and others I think is a bit more important than his "personal expression" if you will. On the other hand, maybe he does have a good reason, but even if so, you can't just follow your own whim without regard to others. In your own home, if you want to paint such things on your walls 1,000 times over, you can. But in public, it's not just about you.

    If you really think the general public wouldn't care, just try showing up at your workplace naked and swearing and see how long you would have a job. Unless, of course, that's the way you are supposed to show up.

    yeah, I did generalize a bit too much, But you knew what I meant. (Or so I assume.) (I hate adding the extra clarification every sentence in similar debates ^^; )

    lol.

    I was thinking maybe I came across just a bit too harsh in my statement, so I just wanted to say I don't mean anything harshly, and meant only a light tone overall. I enjoy these kinds of discussions. You seem like you think about a lot of stuff and different sides of things, I think thats awesome. In some of it, I think we think somewhat the same.

    For the sake of the "rules", however, I probably shouldn't post anything more off topic.

    Happy gaming.
