Neocon,

<<For your first question, it depends upon how graphic each is...most parents do not want to see a realistic portrayal of a murder...>>

Fair enough. I think all things being equal, most be more upset at acts of sexual intimacy, but I realize that is only my opinion.

<<.Murder is treated as a sin, in most drama. The lesbian kiss would have been treated as no big deal...>>

Okay, then why is their more protestation over the kiss than there is over the daily violence? My point is that clearly the sex upsets people to a greater degree than the violence, because there is little protesting over the far more frequent acts of violence than there was over the Ellen episode.(which was not all that sexual when you came right down to it)

<<.I would pick condoms too, but then I do not know a lot of people calling for arming teenagers..>>

Not overtly. Many of the same people who are against planned parenthood are equally gainst raising the age or the bar for acquiring handguns.
