Oh, I'll add

Invade a third world country for fictional reasons, causing the deaths of thousands of your contrymen and tens of thousands of iraqis?

Morally just fine

Depictions of the sex act and/or the sexualization of the human form?

Morally impermissible

Do you see a problem here? No? Why am I not surprised?

Its the same insanity that is reflected in our movie rating system. Its fine to show violent executions of your fellow human in excruciating detail. Its abhorrent to show two people involved in the act of sex.
