Possibly because it wasn't a "very strong point", it was a sarcastic two liner:

> Children shouldn't be allowed to watch people being happy. We need them to stick with safe things like violence and murder.

> (this point has been made for decades yet somehow never sinks in with some groups and I don't understand why)

I've never heard anyone make that point about pornography, only about restrictions on nudity and/or swearing on TV/movies.




In the US you seem more upset by sex than extreme violence. That was sarcasm but the point was real, valid and strong.

> I've never heard anyone make that point about pornography

Reallllly? Quick DDG immediately gets https://www.salon.com/2015/07/13/5_american_sex_norms_that_e...

"1. Extreme violence in the media is fine, just don’t show a nipple"

Plenty of USAians make this point but you've never heard of it? Damnit, you have school shootings but sex, oh no!


Your quick DDG just reinforced what I said. Try again.


I'm honestly confused. What point are you making?


What I said is not complicated:

> I've never heard anyone make that point about pornography, only about restrictions on nudity and/or swearing on TV/movies.

Your DDG search provided an example of that, yet you seemed to think it proved your point about pornography.


WHAT POINT?

"example of that" - EXAMPLE OF WHAT?


What I quoted, obviously, which you quoted part of in your DDG post.
