Kendrick, the point is that many people have Biblical principles engrained, and that is what keeps them right no matter the medium or technology. I have learned to guard my heart and not selectively attack technology. It is this ability to guard my heart that keeps me whether there is a TV, computer, real live women walking around, billboards, etc...

Of course I do not know you so this is not directed at you in particular, but I have noticed that a lot of the people who are so hard-line UC do not really learn how to guard their heart. I have heard many hard-liners complain after church about what a lady was wearing and how much it showed...and if you put a gun to my head I could not have told you who they were talking about because I'm not even looking at or for that.
Perhaps this is why many of them find it so inconceivable that someone can be responsible and disciplined in what they choose to watch.
It's kind of like coloring in a coloring book versus painting on a canvas. There are those who are handicapped to the point that they think it is impossible to paint a beautiful picture with your heart unless all the lines are specifically given to you.
