Little bit off topic.... I remember exactly who told me how to lie. When I was little i had a babysitter;(who i hated) and this babysitter had this little witch of a daughter who lied all the time. Before I knew it I found myself lying as well, which i had never done before. It frightened me.

@Yumiko: Eh. It's not off topic. It's just the way the debate went.

I'm pretty sure that was what happened to me. I had to go through day care, and I was bound to learn at some point.

Still a case of nature over nurture, in my opinion.

I think the worst one depends on who's watching it, Age wise.
For me, I'll have to go with violence.
Why? Not really sure.. maybe because it's a little scary. sometimes just WATCHING it isn't really much of an effect but if you place yourself in their shoes you'll see what I'm talking about.

You're right, things like that don't crop up over night. However...

Your last line is what catches my eye. Following that line of thought, you could say that it is the person who commits suicide that has the problem, so to speak, but it is the people around them, including of course, the parents, who should have recognized the person's despair. But the truth is that far too many times, no one around that person saw anything wrong. You hear it all too often from the family and friends of one who has killed themselves how the person seemed fine. Albeit, just as often, others sit in judgment and say they must have been blind. People like that are oftentimes VERY good at hiding their inner emotions and pain. Children can hide their feelings as well. It's not so cut and dry.

lol, well, I think both should be on equal terms. Especially since the more you limit things, the more people get curious about it and they seem to learn more finding out about restricted stuff than about non-restricted stuff. The restricted stuff just kind of perks people's interest and they find themselves wanting to learn more >.< I know that over here in North America sex is rated higher than violence, but then you seem to find that the younger population seems to know more about sex than violence ._. it kind of defeats the purpose of it all when you think about it ._. I don't know about the European Countries, but I heard that violence is rated higher than sex and I also heard that although sex is know to the younger generation, there seems to be a ton of a lot more fighting ._.

Well, if my porn suddenly lost all of the sex, it wouldn't be very much fun! And violence is good too, sometimes. Didn't we all love Fight Club?

In my P.O.V I really think Violence is worse thn sex in movies bc its really basically something you learn in health class is sex lol and the violence their showing in movies is like telling kids or whoevers watching you shud do this do i mean their both bad for showing it but more violence

I'm from America, and I dunno about everywhere else, but over here, we are SERIOUSLY hung up about sex. You see violent crap on television all the time, but suddenly it's shocking beyond all reason when you see some chick topless. "It's on public television! My child could see that!"
The disparity between people's opinions on sex and violence is disappointing.

i agree with philomel
