We as a nation

You know, for years I have asked the question "Would you rather have your children watch realistic bloody violence on TV (not horror flicks), or sexual activity on TV?" and to my surprise everyone say violence. Are you crazy, I would rather my daughter become a little promiscuous or my son try to get with every girl in school rather than become a serial killer.

Think about it people, VIOLENCE!! you know remember the Mendez brothers they killed their parents. Not serial killers, just wanted their parents money. Did you know that there is a web page dedicated to the children who have past away from being bullied? They call it bullicide. Bully by definition is A overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people. a man hired to do violence. Where do they learn this trait? I know it is not from any of us, we are good parents and do not go around hitting people so they must learn it from somewhere. Now some of it I know is genetic and I won't even go there.

I for one am a violent person, I believe it solves a lot of problems, don't believe me well it solved WWII, but, I will not teach my children this. Will I teach my children how to defend themselves...YES. Is that teaching violence? fine line. There is a lot of common sense in defending yourself, there is none in fighting.

Now lets talk sex....

You can get your daughter/son under some control. You can educate them, let them know that what they are doing is not good for them, (please do not use the "you are ruining your life"speech, it stupid and will get you nowhere). There are groups and doctors, hell even planned parenthood can help but the line of communication needs to be open. With violence once you taste blood, it never goes away.

Once again...all my point of view

  1. What age are we talking about when you say children? Because if it under lets say 8 and i see my daughter watching a sex movie i would have a lot to explain to her at that age. Now if she was watching a voilent movie that would be much easier to talk about then the whole sex talk thing. Don't you think?
