I am pretty much OK with sex and violence.
Crazy anarchist! Or centrist. I'm not sure which.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Are you ready to be strong?
Me neither.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto.
Although I did realize I would have been embarassed if my parents had come in the room while I was watching Nip/Tuck over the weekend.

This turns out to be one of the big divides in the culture war.
Ayup. Illustrated very awkwardly this past christmas where my brother got his 16 year old bil just this game and some cd/movie/? that had a very suggestive cover. My parents were appalled by the VIOLENCE!!!11, sil's parents by the PORN!!!11!.
Really, the two families are moderate stereotypes of the whole culture war dynamic. It'd be more amusing if I didn't know my brother and his wife spend all christmas just waiting one or the other of their parents to inadvertently (or not) offend the other.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Full Extension! (for baseball fans. Or for fans of pictures of human beings launched into flight.)
Neat! (Hec, have you seen pictures of my dad's baseball statues?)

Me, I think both sex and violence are generally inappropriate for little kids, and generally OK (in fiction, for violence) for older people. How is this tricky?!?

What is even happening?
I don't want my kids to have either on their video games. That's why so far, they have a Harry Potter cartridge, a Fairly Odd Parents Cartridge, and a Pac Man cartridge for the GameBoy. Of course, I am No Fun. At. All.
I think there ought to be truth in advertising, so to speak, though. If someone thought they were buying a sexy video game for their kids, and got sneak scenes of violence, I'd think that was wrong, and vice versa.

Nuh-uh! Nothing's funner than Pac-Man!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
hit the "Fn" button on your keyboard. It looks like you've turned on the number keypad....do you have a laptop?Oh, Maria, I could just kiss you and kiss you and kiss you. Especially if this works when I get home.
Just buff diving in my brain.So not just me who does that? What a relief.
do you think your kids were mature enough to learn the adult lesson that sometimes good TV shows have crappy episodes?In my mind, this episode consists entirely of Giles singing. It's a short episode, but I think it's for the best.
