Poor, Edmund W said:
If your friend or co-worker was on a diet (perhaps
for medical
reasons), how often would you amuse yourself by
teasing him, "Hey,
Billy, want some ice cream? It's chocolate,
yer
favorite!" Knock it
off, will ya?
This seems a very strange line of argument. Are you
comparing Ms Winslet
to a large dollop of ice cream? Who is this person
on a diet? Should I
perhaps stop consuming food in public, lest I entice
someone else to
over-eat? How about those horror movies I was
chatting about? It doesn't
bear thinking about, does it? What kind of appetite
would *they* incite?
And by the same reasoning, we should remove all images
of animals, so as not to tempt the people who are
trying to overcome their bestiality. And the images
of people, so as not to tempt those who are trying to
avoid the voices in their heads which are telling them
to murder people.
