*rubs temples and groans* Fine, I give up. This was never supposed to be
a sex and violence argument, but if you want to turn it into that, then

other entertainment medium for that matter. They *are* components, yes,
but not the biggest ones. Perhaps if you could see past all the skirts
and swords, you'd figure that out.
