I mean, the people I hang out with are mostly atheists...<BR/><BR/>It would be interesting to do a systematic poll on the subject to see if people really agreed with the rating system as it is, or if it is a "heckler's veto" of those who wrote in to complain about the nipple in the Superbowl that sets policy.DBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805375811782552873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925765946042638459.post-37550051062640232762007-03-22T13:27:00.000-04:002007-03-22T13:27:00.000-04:00As a Canadian I can only relate sort of.

We're definitely a puritan society as well but to a lesser extent, probably somewhere between the States and Europe, leaning a bit towards Americans due to geographic factors and the amount of American media we consume. I think it's totally mind blowing that we try and hide sex, something amazing, loving, and necessary to the very survival of our species but revel in destructive violence. I'm not one of those people who thinks that playing violent video games or watching violent movies will make you a murderer, but if I were to even think there was some influence (I'd say there is a little bit at least) I'd sure as hell rather have people watching more sex than violence. I think it's especially mind boggling because I've never actually met a person who thought media or real violence was better than media or real sex, where are these people coming from? Who's letting them decide things?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701486643606672348noreply@blogger.com
