Are murders considered MORE a part of society then someone having SEX? Is it better for our children to see MURDERS and GORE than SEX?

I completely agree with you. I think it stems from America'a puritan christian roots. They were very against anything overtly sexual, and many people still hold on to that value. \n\nOn the other hand, America had a "Wild West" a "Everyman for himself" attitude, and the "right to bear arms". So the history is also steeped in violence. \n\nViolence is seen as a way to protect yourself, look strong and defeat an enemy. These are noble causes in the eyes of Puritans and Christians. Sex outside of marriage for the sole sake of pleasure is considered more of a sin than shooting an "Indian" who was lurking around your property. \n\nI think that's why there is more tolerance to violence, than sex.

Absolutely!  \n\nMy kids are still in elementary school, but I know that high school is just around the corner.  I think it is appalling that kids can learn those types of things here, or anywhere.  \n\nI am disgusted at the questions kids are asking on here about sex and the like.  I pray that I can steer my kids clear of this kind of filth.  They're great, innocent kids so far.  \n\nKids are even having others do their homework on this site!  Unbelievable!

Our country is the complete opposite of Europe. We are very anti "too much" sexual activity on television, and everyone throws a fit when they feel somthing is too sexual. Instead, we think it's okay to showcase a lot of violence and violent video games that small children see. We have it all wrong. There is nothing wrong with showing love on television, it all has to be done in a correct manner.

Seeing a prostitute does not equal "low down & disgusting"\n\nAbusing your wife IS\nBeating your kids IS \nCheating on your spouse IS\nIntentionally hurting someone IS\nTaking pleasure in someone's suffering IS\n\nTrust me- there are << PLENTY >> of things in this world that are far more sinister, far more evil, than some guy who's willing to pay for no-strings sex.  \n\nAnd THOSE are the things that no one likes to talk about...

I can tell you why. Its because of alot of things. 1. our magazines promote this heavily. I mean, alot of girls read these magazines when they are young, and therefore think sex is appropriate and cool.. 2. TV. I mean look at all the shows on now? its all based around sex and dating. Its not cool.. once again kids then think its cool and appropriate to do. 3. To be honest, even things like 'yahoo! answers- because i mean.. have you seen some of the questions that have been asked in this site?? Some people can be so gross and kids will think this is cool. so, because of things like this, kids get obsessed.. and lets not forget that they are who will take over our society next (know what I mean) and this is why our society is sex driven.

It is nothing new.  It has being going on since time immoreal.  It effects all classes of society, all professions, all religions, the rich and the poor, the young and the old.  It is a curse.  It ruins more people's lives than any other form of abuse.  The do-gooders claim that the perverts are ill and need treatment.  They pay far more attention to them than they do to the victims.  Pedophiles are manipulative, clever and use tactics that can only be imagined.  I will not give any details but suffice is to say that they use language, threats and intimidation on their child victims.  The vast majority of men who have been indecently assaulted when young, seldom if ever tell anyone about their experience.  Most women also keep it 'secret' only informing their husbands when things go wrong much later in life.  Consequently the perverts appear to be 'getting away with it'.  I have worked in law enforcement and everytime the issue of capital punishment arrises (UK), I honestly and sincerely advocate the death penalty for anyone committing a serious sexual offence on a child under the age of ten.  I really mean it.  In my experience, and in many documented cases, they are incapable of being 'cured' of their sick and evil habits.  If an animal was to do what some of these people do to their young, they would be 'put down' immediately. Some of the true stories that I was told by young and indeed elderly people about their experiences as much as fifty years ago would make the strongest of stomachs, retch.  Teachers, doctors, judges, police officers, solicitors, and any other group of people you can imagine are preying on the young of society in every country of the world.  It is a sad, sad state of affairs when we cannot protect them.

spanking yes, beating, no. in years gone by, spanking was always used. people grew up with more respect and crime was no where near as bad. u could leave your doors open and be safe and not be burgled etc. kids were no where near as spoiled as they are now yet they grew up a whole lot better. more considerate, more respectful and were thankful for wot they had.

There are some ethical and educational books out there for kids.  I remember one I read about that age about puberty called "What's happening to me?"\n\nConsidering that some kids are apparently experimenting with sex at 10, you might not want to keep your kid in the dark about this topic, but you should also consider talking to your kid about ethics and morality too!  At the very least, you should discuss possible consequences of sex.\n\nI know it's a hard topic to discuss.  It was at about that time too that I realized why there was so much evil in the world and I got to be quite the depressed little kid.  Hopefully you can give it a more positive spin.

i agree. i think it should be legalized because, then rapist and everybody will go to the hookers and not rape or molest little kids. but no matter legalized or unlegalized, sex offenders will always want the kids. i think it is because of their innocence. this is just my opinion. i know somebody who has been molested before. the guy that did it had already had sex before. but he still did it for some reason i guess the person  will never know.

1.  Sex between first and second level relativies is exteremly dangerous, can produce extreme mutations.\n\n2.  Incest is generally not looked at as a positive thing.\n\nAs to the occurance, experimentation, ect, between siblings is common, however full out 'sex' is not.

Killing is society is bad and no  matter how legal it is i believe its injustice. the people being killed everyday are humans and nobody is allowed to take their life except God who created  them.\n\nif killing is made legalised can the people who legalised it allow just one person from their family to be killed?\n\nin  my opinion think killing is evil and the act or people behind the act should be perpetuated and stopped

Religion often makes us feel guilty about the most common human experiences, usually related to sex. This clearly contradicts nature. Sex is sex. If you're of the legal age, with another consenting adult, and aware of the risks/protection, then knock yourself out. This really has nothing to do with morals, mostly just religion.

Murder is murder is murder. It is up to us to control our anger. The only possible excuse to take a human life, aside from Capital Punishment, is in self defence and during a war.

I agree. I'm reading posts on here from kids the age of my little sister. If I ever found out she was having sex, I'd end up beating up the guy and locking her in her room. It's so sad, can't kids be kids anymore?

It's just more proof that our view of "morality" is really screwed up. If we would just get over what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms and focus more on murder, rape, theft and child molestation then we wouldn't have problems like this. It may take another 50 years before people grow up and realize sex isn't nearly as evil as we've always thought it was.

Very interesting question . . . but life trumps all else!  Abortion is murder, no matter what.  That the child might have any "defect", physical, emotional, etc is not the point.  The child might grow up to be a serial killer, but that does not mean they do not have the right to life.  \n\nHomosexual orientation (being attracted only to members of one's own gender) is not a sin in and of itself.  The sin is acting on a disordered desire . . . just as it is sin to have heterosexual sex outside of marriage.  As far as parenting a homosexually oriented child, I think the same difficulties apply as with any child (of course, I am speculating here).  You still have to help your child understand sin and that they will have desires that are sinful and that they must choose to not act on those desires.  I am sure this is a difficult task with any child.  \n\nAbortion, however, is not the solution to any of this.
