As a band we are only in the business for sex drugs and rock and roll

I joined an historical re-enactment group once because I heard they did good buffets. I was only in it for the Saxon thugs and sausage rolls...

A few good points delivered recently. Thanks for that people. Makes me realise I am not alone in not understanding the dichotomy mentioned. I think I am also begining to realise that it may not be as bizarre as it seems. If I am understanding some of the points then, yes, the sexualy orientated displays are to get people 'going' and are perfectly acceptable by most. But what the sensible person does is realises it is just gameplay. As long as the the people presenting the show accept that any response they get may just be gameplay as well! One worrying thing would be that some people would not realise it was make believe but I think that always has and always will be the danger. We cannot mitigate it by preventing the displays!

On the subject of dressing children in this manner then, yes, but a slap round the head is too good for the parents. They should be made to realise that they are not only placing their children in danger but taking away part of their precious childhood as well. If they cannot be made to see it, then the children should go into care as being at risk.

Thanks all for an interesting discussion kept, as someone said, mainly at an adult and civilised level. See - we can do it when we want:-)

Cheers
