    TV is getting weird? I guess it’s time to switch to a channel that glorifies violence. Yeah, that’s normal.

        Well one is a basic biological process, the other is something we made up to entertain ourselves and accumulate power.

        It’s really not. Birth and conception is a much easier conversation and concept for kids to grasp than the finality that is death.

        Even without understanding sexual attraction, the concept of pregnancy is pretty simple once you get over the guilt and shame of anatomy.

        Explaining why people kill each other is why more complicated.

          Only if trying to actually educate your kids. Otherwise, there’s the tried and true lazy/bad parenting method of only telling little Billy that “bad people need to be punished” and being surprised when he hits a classmate for taking his crayon.

        And now over to sports…

        The Detroit Tigers got killed today in their game against the Cleveland Guardians.

        Oh yeah? What happened?

        I just told you. The Tigers were killed during the game. Gun violence in Detroit is a serious issue.

      I like my violence with high impact sexual gratification.

      nothing gets my engine going faster than a bunch of sweaty dudes raging in a circle while they bang each other in the rear just to get ahead.

      Frankly would rather that than coded religious messages that encourage bigotry. At least (some) of the negative effects of violence are usually shown - not so much when it comes to thinking you’re better than others because you were told your Sky-Daddy said so.
