Re: Sex & Violence
I'm quite impressed with this discussion!
The one thing I'd ask, however, is if you're roing to quote figures to support your points then please leave some form of reference as to where you're getting them from so you can't be accused of "pulling them out of the air". A link to the relevant website ought to do it.
I think shasaraks point is well made. We've ALL had thoughts that would be considered illegal, immoral, or just downright weird if other people knew about them whether we admit it or not. I don't think we should now, or ever, get into a position where we convict people based on what they're thinking alone, regardless of whether we find such thoughts repugnant. Thoughts and deeds are two different thing, and just because you have a thought/fantasy does not automatically mean you're going to act on it.
I've had numerous thoughts about Kirsten Dunst, Liz Hurley, and others over the years. Should I be put in jail because I didn't have their consent to do so?
