Which is worse for a child: violence or sex/nudity?
Before I being this question, we need to get a couple things out of the way. One, please don't let the debate sidetrack (too) much. Obviously, good insight on the general vicinity is good for any debate, but going too far can hurt the conclusion of people involved (or irritate them).

Secondly, there are rules I'm going to establish for this post. The rule is: you have to pick one or the other and explain why. There, 'nuff said.

So, the question:
If your child had to be subjected to one thing, would you choose violence or nudity/sex?

This question absolutely does NOT include actual sexual acts with a minor (disgusting and illegal). The question is asking a choice of subjection. IE, what the hell is on TV, a video game, in a book, etc.

Personally, I'd pick nudity/sex. I'd much rather my child see a nipple on television than a grizzly murder. For one, they're going to see a female nipple at some point anyhow. Two, they're natural body parts and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Three, a quick glance of a nipple is far less detrimental than a glance of destruction.

Discuss! =D

P.S. - Happy Holidays, GLP!

Violence is harmful and can lead to trauma. Nudity and sexuality are natural and even beautiful parts of life.

The question specifically said "no sexual acts". I said "subjection", IE, if they're watching something on TV or in a song and the subject comes up. Relax.

Too many fuck'n rules, I don't wanna fuck'n play!
Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

lol It's okay. Let me try to re-word it. My thing is, my girlfriend's little brother listens to OBVIOUSLY sexual, but he's nine! How? It's wrong to me and the media seems to shove this in their face, trying to start them at an early.

While that's bad, it's even worse that he's talking about how to kill people because of CSI, etc and stuff.

I don't know. Media is whacked today. Seems like no matter what, your child will see it anyhow, and you don't even get a word of say in it. : (

but can lead to deviant sexual practices.

to me, neither is worse than the other. as they are both a natural part of human life.

ancient emperors subjected kids to all kinds of stuff that today would be appalling. military training starting at age 10, rape, abuse, neglect, slaughter, etc...

but it all depends on the individual child. me, i played violent games as a kid, played with toy weapons, fireworks, all the fun stuff. saw my first porno at age 8. i have no desire to kill prostitutes after raping them nor go out and run down hapless civilians in an suv.

but put a different child in my shoes and you might get a cereal killer.

All communicative events are grounded in their context. So to answer your question, 'Context' is most important.

However, I find the violent images in the media disturbing and tainted with agenda. So I'd say Violence is more harmful to all, including children.

Listen, I am a single mother, much smaller physically than my monster teen boys, but i bought those tv's and mp3's and i will shut the shit off in a minute if they keep messing with me and downloading or watching pure trash. Trust me, we fight about it til there is yelling and slamming doors.

But in the end, I will demand them to listen to me while here in the house.

someone needs to take that crap away from the little brother, and tell him we're sorry but we let you have these things, but now it is so bad we have to take it away. help find him something to do that is more constructive even though he will raise holy hell about it for a while.

What is worse for a child is a goddamned adult who is fucking his/her life with its sexual deviations or bad temper /violence.

Maybe the question should be worded differently BUT American is insanely messed up when it comes to this. Remember the 'wardrobe malfunction' during the superbowl? People up in arms and demanding restitution over the accidental (probably) exposure of a nipple. But watch prime time TV and you can get violence galore. I am not advocating that sex and violence are good for kids but they way Americans see things at present is utterly laughable
