They're not kids either.
Canada basically has the same ratings and standards for TV and Movies as the US.
I don't see anything wrong with letting 14 year olds watch Stargate. I watched SG-1 when I was 14.

Is private and doesn't need to be on a screen.
Gargoyles had an episode where one of the titular Gargoyles was playing with a gun and accidentally shot their human friend, injuring her badly enough she needed hospitalization. Even in the next episode, though released from the hospital, she was still walking on crutches.
never heard of itThe book in question, btw, was the novelization of DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN. Clearly, a classic of modern literature.
killing lots of people is okay for 14yo (don't get me wrong, they get it anyway)
do we have a thread about puritanism and why it is bad for humankind?

Well, that's a ridiculous standard.
A) Imagine for a moment that private things could not be shown in drama. You'd have no scenes of Perry Mason conversing with his client. You'd have no scenes of anybody conversing with their doctor, priest. You'd have no scenes of anybody home alone. You'd have no scenes of a husband and wife discussing anything by themselves. That's clearly ridiculous. So, next:
B) If it offends you, don't watch it. Easy peasy.
There's a big difference between watching it and doing it.
okay, you think it's okay for kids to see problems solved by shooting up people? thank god for dr mckay's rants about that
Now I'm imagining "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf" without the private scenes.
exactly - personly i prefer twat as a swearword
yes, and ... did they do it in pg whatever?
DON'T GET VULGAR ABOUT OUR BOY, MARTHA.
I'm not offended.
You want creepy Gargoyles that will scare kids?
Interesting side note: The word golly used to be one of the most vulgar obscenities in the English language. In the late 16th/early 17th Centuries, it was considered obscene because it was a contraction for God's Body. The idea that God would have a body was considered a horrible blasphemy, and therefore golly was one of the most vulgar words in English.
Flash-forward to the 1950s: Golly has not only lost its vulgar status, it has now become closely associated with the exact opposite moral status, being regarded as a word almost exclusively associated with wholesomeness and innocence.

Not sure that applies, largely because it assumes I have issues with sex.
didn't say that - i think you have issues displaying it in any form (that is where puritanism comes in)
That is incorrect. I just not found it additive to any show I have watched. So my preference is not to have it on screen.
She looks worried.
