But when we start passing laws that do away with our freedom of choice, we give up that which makes us free. I would never buy a game like this, but my neighbor might. I would never presume to tell him that he is wrong for buying it, because it is his right to choose what he buys. I would choose not to associate with a sick SOB like him in that situation, but I would never support a law that limits his freedom to buy such trash.

I guess living in America, and not under an imperial state, has somewhat spoiled me. I do apologize if my desire to keep my right to choose offends any one who feels that I as an adult should not have such rights.

And personally, I would have thrown the book at Janet Jackson for what she did. A ward drobe accident my arse.
See, we agree in part. I think, fully, that two consenting adults, in their own privacy, hey, let them chop each other up and make stew out of themselves. I don't care.

But I am not talking about that, at all.

When you say "I do apologize if my desire to keep my right to choose offends" you're using loaded language. No one is talking about taking away your right to choose anything in your own life. You can totally stay home and play your own version of "pimp out chicks" - whose stopping you? So long as you and your GF both consent, you can do anything you want (as far as I am concerned, not sure about the limits of the law, but this is my opninion here).

It's the effect on *society* I'm talking about.

But, hey, how do you square your statement that :

with your beleif that this card game is just fine? I mean, you're really going to tell me that the former is worse?

Oh, but here's a cogent and funny article you should read about it:

"U.S. Children Still Traumatized One Year After Seeing Partially Exposed Breast On TV"

I mean, woo hoo, an exposed breast! Call out the cops! Can't have that! (but, hey, headless bodies, blood and guts, that's fine...)
