August 5, 2008: Biking in San Francisco [NSFW]

[Coign]

I would be a hypocrite if I didn't say I liked violence. I am a huge fan of movies like Shoot 'Em Up, Sin City, and 300. I own a number of the GTA games. One of my favorite shows on TV is Supernatural. And when Clair from Heroes had to push her ribs back when they were sticking out of her chest, or when Peter had to pry himself off of that car with the broken piece of metal sticking through his chest? Hell who isn't a fan of violence?

But raising children around these types of violence and then to say, oh a naked person is downright evil. Granted if my child saw a naked person who was chasing them down the street, I would teach them that is bad. Just as bad as if they saw the same event and the guy was holding a large machete. But seeing a machete wielding manic on TV or seeing a naked person on TV? Is either one going to destroy the psyche of our future?
