No one here thinks there's anything wrong with porn but at the same time we would not let our kids see it. If some parent did and the kid got fucked up over it, it's not the porn's fault it's the parent.
That's exactly where I was coming from. I'm not saying that violent games or movies will turn nice children into animals, I'm saying that allowing kids with aggressive or violent tendencies to explore these things unsupervised is asking for trouble.

And if anyone seriously doesn't think that MTV, movies and other programming aimed at youth and rap music hasn't affected and contributed to a general lack of respect in the current generation what is your theory about what happened to this generation that didn't happen to the previous?
