[quote=Anonymous]So, I don’t censor any written material.  BUT I reserve the right to discuss or read/play together.

I have no issue with a teen reading 50 shades, but while they were doing that, we’d be looking up regulations on domestic violence and which states don’t allow for consensual violence.  We’d be discussing that BDSM is an acronym that stands for bondage/discipline, dominance/submission and sadism/masochism, and MANY people that are involved in bdsm don’t have anything to do with pain.

I’d have no issue playing cah with tweens and teens.  A card about coat-hanger abortions is an opportunity to talk about abortions pre-Roe v Wade.  A card about chopping up a hooker is ripe for discussion of vulnerable populations and how easy it is for them to disappear, how and why prostitution exists, how hard it is to get out once they start, the role of pimps in breaking spirits and controlling them, the role of “Johns” is continuing the practice, legal brothels and safe sex practices, the percentage who live on the streets, the percentage who were just runaway teens, etc.

If I know that a tween or teen understands how serious most of the cards are and what they are about, I don’t have an issue with them playing.  Finding humor in awful things allows people to be able to tackle the issues.[/quote]
