bless our (more recent) european roots !

I get where urge is coming from.You can watch one episode of C.S.I. and 5 people can get shot, but Janet Jackson flashes a tit and all hell breaks loose.

Re: Things that bug you the most in a Horror movie..
 

There is a simple answer to it: it is a horror movie. And it seems that that ususally happens in slasher movies. The victim of a killer doing completly idiotic things and making him/her so vunerable to attack is there also not to bore the auidence...i mean, think about it logically, must killers in movies are pretty stupid - though there are some exceptions - and it would be very boring if the victim was out smarting the killer all the time.

BUT...If Janet Jackson got shot at the superbowl, people would freak out about THAT even more...CSI is NOT real.....No one gets shot...No one bleeds...No one dies...

Not to sure if Janet Jackson's tit is real.

then lets get back to the origional topic .. horror movies.
people get stabbed mutilated decapitated ..etc ..

i dont care if its real or not ... its still not the message i want my kid getting from a movie.

i was reluctant to let him see jurassic park - but i did because he loves dinosaurs.
but - i fast forward through the violence (which means i have to sit there and watch it every goddamn time)

if there was nudity - i couldnt care less ..
he sees us coming and going from the shower .. he runs around naked in the house ... its not a big deal to him ..

i dont want him seeing sex because he's too young to understand it even if explained properly.

but nudity - big deal ..
if we didnt make such a childish big deal out of it - the world would be a better place for it

And that's the way you feel about it, there's nothing wrong with that...But, we see our bodies as 'special', 'sacred', and a gift to share with the right person...That's the complete opposite of being ashamed, or uncomfortable about our bodies...

And my kids don't really take messages from movies...they are intelligent enough to see it for what it is...And they honestly spend MOST of their time critiquing the quality of the special effects, and making suggestions about how THEY could have 'done it better'...It's ALL fake to them...No nightmares, no induction of homicidal tendencies, no confusion...Nada...

well intimate contact with your bodies .. sure i can understand that being special ..

what do you think of people who wear bathing suits ?

i know you think cleavage is ok ... so does it come down to the actual nipple that is sacred ?

this is impossible for me to understand

Well, that's a good question because it CAN be a matter of opinion...The Amish consider bare legs to be nudity, and some Muslims consider bare ankles to be nudity...For us, I suppose it's pretty much whatever is covered by a bikini...Just like, cleavage wouldn't be considered porn, but nipples and genitals would be...It's actually a pretty common consensus...

Oh wait!...I just had an idea...How about if you and your wife go out in public, and she shows a little cleavage, and you go totally naked?...See which one of you gets arrested...Then maybe someone else can explain it to you better than I can...lol
