I was generalizing for our culture, which includes AT parents. Doesn't mean that I am included in that group.Originally posted by: pulse8

Good question, there are many variables that come into play, I don't have the answer for you. It's sort of the same question as to why our society views drinking as an acceptable drug vice marijuana, when drinking is physically and psychologically addicting whereas marijuana is the latter. Not to mention more families will be broken up by alcohol addiction, and alcohol abusers are much more likely to exhibit acts of violence (bar fights). Why is one legal, or illegal, and the other not?Originally posted by: pulse8

So we can show sports with men beating each other up, people eating weird things and doing dangerous things, but if half a boob is shown for 3-5 seconds that is crossing the line?
Yes and we can have boxing matches, GTA Vice City with half naked women in it, as long as the parent is aware and forewarned of the content. They know that boxing involves people beating each other to a pulp, and hockey. They know that if they buy their kids GTA, there is nudity in it. They did not know a T!T would come flying out of JJ during a PG rated show. That's like the video game Mario Cart and Mario's penis comes out for 2 seconds b/c he took a turn too sharp while Luigi had his hand on Mario's pants riding shotgun; the programmer made it so that the "joke" only appeared on a certain date so nobody knew about it in advance.
To reiterate for the 20th time in this thread, the parent was disempowered when CBS/MTV broke the law.
I'm just wondering why violence is so accepted among the parents on this forum, but nudity (however minor and brief) is not.
The magnitude of how each "inappropriate" act/thing in our culture varies for many reasons.
I wasn't wondering why society accepts one over the other, I was wondering why YOU accept one over the other.
I don't think violence is better than nudity. You haven't defined violence yet. Are you talking about sports? Wrestling? Movies? Punching and kicking or weapons? Blood vs no blood? Please clarify. There is a line to be drawn in the magnitude of violence, just as the bikini is where the line is drawn for the kids. Give an example.
Would you let your child attend a hockey game?
What if the two football teams had started a huge fight in the middle of the field, would you be blaming them for doing something you didn't know was going to happen?
TV Guidlines' ratings do NOT apply to sporting events, so I would not care, the viewer knows what to expect and what could happen during a sporting event. Am I not going to let my child watch baseball b/c there are bench clearing brawls? Of course not. The half time show was rated PG, that's the difference.
So let me get this straight: If my kid saw a breast fly out during a Tennis match or Volleyball Tournament due to an accident, then that would be OK because sporting events do not adhere to TV Guidelines' ratings. But because it happened during the halftime show, it's not OK?
And FYI before you make your assumptions, I am a parent. I am older than most of the people on this forum. And I have no problem with there being breasts on TV as I do not believe that it is inappropriate, even for children.

Right, because two women fondling each other is the same as what I said. Great analogy. Thank YOU!
It's people like you that should leave our country of ours. It's people like you that contribute to the decay of our society. Thanks again.
Guess what! A breast flying out and someone fondling it, then stripping it naked are two ENTIRELY different things. Sht, I can send u a clip a gameshow where a girl was jumping up and down and her breast flew out, so fvcking what? I thought it was hilarious... If the gameshow host had grabbed her T!T, and then ripped her dress down, I would be apalled. Big difference, and I, along with the rest of America, are confounded as to how this is above your comprehension. You apparently think breasts are ok, great! You think Justin Timberflake fondling JJ is ok, GREAT! So why is it NOT OK to show 2 lesbians fondling each others' breasts? Please enlighten me.
