Sick Of Sex And Violence In The Media?

Sex I'm sick of it, but for Realism, you need some Volience, otherwise your going to kiddy up everything in life, just like how they kiddy up all the Jesus Movies, except for The Passion of the Christ, I'm proud of what Mel Gibson did, He told the story like you were reading the Bible almost.


I mean, you dont take something out, thats needed in some cases, Like War? if you wanna show the true aspect of war, you gotta have the Violience other wise its going to be a kiddy up terrible version of what War is like.


Saving Private Ryan, a War Movie that needed to capture the true reality of Warfare.

The Passion of the Christ's Violience was needed to show the reality of Christ's Shufferings and Death, and His Glorious Resserection. When you see Jesus get wiped so badly in the film, yes its harsh, but in the end you see hes PREVAILED over Sin, Death, Hell, and The Grave.


Violience in the Bible, theres alot of mentions of war in the Bible, and you think when David cut off Goliath's head it wasn't gory? what kind of kiddy minded person would think that? of course its Grusome. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone on this issue, but this is how I feel about it.


Nudity in the Media, You can do away with, thats not needed at all on TV. [b]Violience (To a Certian Degree is needed though)[/b]

Im so sick of it. Im starting to think sex is a form of evil, and a weakness in humanity. Ive called the channels here, if they could tone down the ads, they're like: 'we dont control that".

I'm so fed up with all the sex stuff in the media that I have on more than one occassion considered throwing my remote at the T.V. I'm not against sex itself, but the way its used and abused in the media. I also agree with WhiteNight that violence, especially in a historical context, is alright as it presents us with the brutal reality of the events from our past. But the senseless violence in Hollywood flicks has gotten very old.

Violence is a neccessary for film making..... sex isn't. I'd point out though, a petition will do very little to help when a company who makes a commericial will generally attract a larger response to the message with things such as sex and violence. The mind will naturally keep those up there, because they arouse either lust, anger, or hate for those very things they show, and in that it stores them. Companies have realized the effectiveness of having those things in there, I don't think they'll drop them.

God bless,

PS. I did sign however, in hoping that it may happen.
