I'm not asking if you think such things should be banned or whatever, blah blah blah, just if there is any such things you've seen that seriously disturbed you and you were possibly worried children could access it.

Answer: No. I found the smoking in Sin City far more offensive than the violence.

I've always considered people who are for more censorship to just be lazy parents.  Buy a v-chip TV, turn on parental blockers online, and don't buy T or M rated video games.  Its that simple.  There's a reason we have a rating system for TV, movies, and video games.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the question.

What?  I thought that the whole question was about children's access to "disturbing" images in the media.  I responded by commenting on the related topic of ratings systems and parental blockers which when used properly should create an environment in which children are safely protected from media content meant for mature audiences.  I'd say my comments have everything to do with the question which is why I made them.

The question is if you're personally offended, not about censorship. I'm saying I've never once been offended by any type of violence in the media that prudes like Joe Lieberman whine about.

Let it be known that I do enjoy knowing that my collection of violent movies pisses off people like you and Ralph Nader.
