What we absorb subconsciously... daily

Our tv shows william wallace being stretched, tortured, a sickle to his stomach twisted.
Our tv shows alexander the great in a bloody battle with horses killed and elephants hit with arrows oozing blood, screaming in agony.
Our tv shows a girl running after her mother's boyfriend who has her puppy in a pillowcase - he throws it over a bridge into the waters of the river below.

We see albino monks whipping themselves wearing chalices.
We see women chased, jumped and then raped.

Yet our censors deem it responsible to end kisses midway.
To stop husband and wife making love.
To black out pictures of breasts and yet blow up pictures of guns, bombs and the destruction they bring.

What a wonderful wonderful way of thinking.
Human body, love and sex - bad.
Murder, rape and war - good.
