what I was trying to say about

tantalising images was that there is such a recognition in society that people can be influenced by them that we have censors for television and movie and video or computer games but we do not have them for real life situations. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions - that is not the issue. But if we have a censors trying to limit the damage that a tantalising TV image might cause, then maybe there ought to be some standard to limit the damage that a tantalising real life image may cause. This is the context in which I took the Sheik Hilali's remarks. Besides which I have heard similar sentiments expressed by WASPs so it is hypocritical to only castigate the Sheik even though he could have chosen his metaphor a bit more contextually appropriately.
