   (...) Disagree. <!-- heading off-topic... --> Problem #1 - It teaches violent solutions as acceptable solutions (perhaps even encouraged?) to moral dilemmas.

     (...) I suppose at John's response you would question what it means to "develop normally" and what it means to be a "mature healthy adult." I want to throw my name in with those who believe there is a difference between good and evil. I would (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: The Lego Group will attempt to stop some "brickfilms" —David Eaton
     (...) From my particular standpoint, it would only be morally good when the person doing it honestly believed they were doing good. However, it doesn't mean that the person shouldn't be stopped-- nor that one would be morally wrong to try and stop (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: The Lego Group will attempt to stop some "brickfilms" —David Eaton
     (...) Ah-- I agree in principle. That it IS sometimes unavoidable. But making it more commonplace gives it the appearance of not so much of an last-resort, and more of a general solution. (...) Disagree. :) See: evil [below] (...) Evil (ee-vil): 1) (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: The Lego Group will attempt to stop some "brickfilms" —John Neal
     (...) Well, (and sorry for straying OT;-) bringing LEGO back into the discussion, fantasy play IMO is best when the stakes are high (saving the world or even better, the universe), from the evil Ogel [the *very* antithesis of LEGO and all that is (...)

         Re: The Lego Group will attempt to stop some "brickfilms" —David Eaton
     (...) And here I thought it was cuz politicians were more evil than war! :) (...) I will agree that in a fantasy realm it's better than in a realistic-fantasy realm. IE a futuristic fantasy with violence is "better" than a modern fantasy with (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

   (...) it (...) That's because sex is neither good nor evil. (...) What you think of as normal and healthy is not. It is a stunted charicature of humanity.

        Re: The Lego Group will attempt to stop some "brickfilms" —John Neal
   (...) It can be. S & M, which combines sex and violence is evil; rape is evil. (...) What I am talking about is presenting adult material *before* a child is mature enough to handle it.

        Re: The Lego Group will attempt to stop some "brickfilms" —James Powell
     (...) Excuse me? S&M is not "evil"- as long as the people taking part are consenting (over age of consent, whatever that is where the act takes place), it is no more "evil" than sex in the missonary position between a man and his lawfully married (...)

         Re: The Lego Group will attempt to stop some "brickfilms" —Richard Marchetti
     (...) Yeah, I second this. It's a little off topic -- but I recently heard/learned that kissing was made popular by the Romans. Now, I don't know if that is true, but it's interesting to think that something commonplace today -- even in public -- (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

   (...) What a load of crap. If the S is happy, and the M is happy, who the HELL are you to call it evil? Self-righteous bigot.
