What's worse, violence or nudity?

Question

On TV and in movies, I noticed they censor nudity and get all offended about it (nipplegate, etc.) but when violence is shown, we accept it. Nudity is natural in my opinion and it is a beautiful thing while violence is the ugly in our society, so why are we offended by what's natural? What do you see as more offending and why?

Answer 1

VIOLENCE DEFINITELY!! i mean, really now!
wooo!! lets compare. guys, which do you think is worse?
scenario 1: "mommy, i saw some mans butt on tv."
or
scenario 2: "mommy, i saw this lady get beat and killed with a hammer by her husband who had found at that he she was cheating on him."

well?
do i need to say anything more?
ok. so i nudity isnt all that great either... i really dont wanna be enjoying some movie with my friends and, i dont know, my MOTHER, and see some guys thing show across the screen...

but violence is worse. i agree. they do make more of a hassle towards kids watching things with nudity rather than violence. wake up people!

kids are going to see that stuff anyway, and at the rate they are going at these days, pretty soon.
violence on the other hand they should NOT see. id rather my little nephew know how a womans chest look (though i still dont want him to) than know how to kill a person using a screw driver or something!

Answer 2

Depends if your parents are there ;)

Technically violence is also natural. Every organism on the planet exerts force on other organism or situation for their own gain. Humans are just especially good at it, since we've evolved past our natural limitations with science and technology.

Therefore, I believe both are perfectly acceptable to a degree. Violence or nudity for the sake of violence or nudity are, in my opinion, more insulting then the acts themselves.

Answer 3

I think violence is more offending. Nudity has just evolved differently over time and I don't see why people can't accept it. Violence is showing how not to act pretty much.

Answer 4

Violence

Answer 5

i would rather my kids see nudity than violence any day. there's nothing wrong with children seeing aspects of nudity that aren't sexual in nature- sorry, i'm not a puritan. i do have a huge problem with my kids seeing ANY violent acts, whether toward humans or animals. i remember being very disturbed by violence when i was young, but nudity didn't bother me one bit. ppl need to realize this.

Answer 6

This is a very American way of life. In Europe nudity IS, indeed, a part of life and it is accepted as such. When there was the silliness with Janet Jackson at the Superbowl, the Brits couldn't understand what the big deal was.

Answer 7

Violence!! nudity is beautiful and can lead to many things that the body and mind find pleasing. violence shows acts of hatred and is intending to hurt people.

Answer 8

Violence and Nudity are natural. We all are humans after all!

Answer 9

Well, this has been a huge point of contention among conservatives for a couple of decades now...

The conservatives generally say "There is too much nasty vulgar sex on TV..."

And the liberals say, "It's natural, what about violence?"

And the conservatives say "We don't promote violence either.."

And the liberals say "But you don't try to stop it like you do sex..."

And the conservatives say "Leave ARNOLD alone!!! It's NOT a Tumor!!!"

You get the idea...

Answer 10

Violence! The world will always have nudity, hell we came here like that, but VIOLENCE will cause the end of time!
