Game of Thrones begins....

Most countries have more murders then they do deaths by combat.  This one included.  I bet if you compared the number of deaths by criminal homicide  to those killed in combat over the last three decades you will find that many more were killed in criminal acts.

Probably depends how you classify various killings. Are cops who get killed in shoot-outs with Mexican drug cartels victims of homicide? What about Tutsi killed by soldiers in Rwanda?

[Jaron]

They all got Tutsi rolled.

Video games get rated MA all the time for violence, at least in the US.

And for sex they aren't allowed past the censors at all.

Why don't you have a problem showing violence to kids?  I agree that your problem is pretty lame, but I don't think you quite realize what your problem actually is.

This is doubtless some pick at wording but....for the life of me I can't see what. Huh?
You've got things backwards. Its society which has no problem with showing violence to kids whilst it hates showing them anything sexual.

its amusing/pretty lame the way modern society is so aghast at kids getting a hint of anything sexual but we've no problem with violence being shown to them.

"Modern society"?
This is the way it have ALWAYS been.
Violence is done and received in a community enviroment, with your family, kin and friends fighting and dying with you.
While sex is and have been a PRIVATE enterprise, done in the privacy of your home/shag/room/cave/hole in the ground.

Violence is public, sex is private.
This should be a concept easy to understand.

Not at all.
Traditionally people lived in one room houses....and had a shit tonne of kids. Not really any way to do that without the kids being exposed to what would be completely innapropriate to modern eyes.
Mix that with the way keeping animals was common place and kids have traditionally had a lot of exposure to sex.

Violence...a lot of exposure to that too what with slaughtering animals but it has always been regarded as a bad thing generally.  Man on man violence was not for children's eyes. Or anyone's officially what with it generally being illegal.

There were plenty of public executions and gladiatorial games in the past that children would see.

In England they used to take kids to public executions to teach them morals.  So it is not your country you are talking about here...what are you thinking of?

[grumbler]

it's the same everywhere but in America.  This is why all the world is filled with moral degenerates fucking everyone and their dog while America is filled with moral degenerates killing everyone and their dog.

Not true.  In America, you get in trouble of you kill someone's dog.

No, not really, not in all culture.  I think our current model of "virtue" derives from the Victorian era, the height of the British Empire.  I doubt ancient cultures everywhere were as prude as we are.

can't you claim self defense in Florida?  Or is it only when the dog is black?

Not if you're a cop.

I have heard this theory before.
I have yet to see any proof of it.

Hell you get in trouble if you kill your own dog.

In Denmark that's apparently legal if you warn the owner a year in advance.

So... can we ask a dance of dragons question here?

[spoiler]Is there any historical medieval  counterpart to RAmsay Bolton? Who would tolerate such a crazy monster?[/spoiler]
