....(which it is), but you have no explanation of why you have two animated gifs in your signature depicting the infliction of pain and violence on children.
Seems kind of contradictory, doesn't it? Any explanation about why you are displaying violence toward children in your signature, i.e.,
This:
and this:
I'm told there are also some troubling parts in To Kill a Mockingbird and Lord of the Flies too.
I take it you haven't seen Young Frankenstein? Cuz, that scene, among many, was kinda funny.

our time. AFAIC “Young Frankenstein” was the funniest movies of all time and is priceless. A lot of the scenes and characters are parodies of the ’31 film and its sequels.
The second clip was from the 1931 film Frankenstein and that clip was censored until the 1980's when luckily it was found. When it was re released with that clip added it changed the tone of the movie.
They are movies they are not real and children were not harmed. I can't understand how anyone can ever be upset about scenes from a comedy or an old black and white "horror" genre based on a classic book.
You may not find “Young Frankenstein” funny and that's your loss George but a lot of people find it hilarious. Vampires, like Frankenstein, aren’t real. Neither are Muppets.
....scene was removed from the movie and thought to be destroyed. It only surfaced almost 60 years later. Doesn't make it any less violent.
The fact is the little girl in the movie was thrown into a lake and drowned. Why you find the need to about it is beyond me.
Don't forget:
Silence of the Lambs won FIVE Academy Awards
In Cold Blood was nominated for four Academy Awards
There are others, too.
The fact that they were award winning or nominated doesn't take away the violence depicted in them.
Both the movies in question here are 1-1/2 or 2 hours long, it's curious that probably the most violent scene in each is presented here.
Still waiting why, in a post decrying violence toward children, these two gifs are acceptable. Obviously it's not just me that finds them disturbing.
Also interesting is that this thread has been here since Saturday, but all of a sudden within a couple of hours three people who hadn't previously participated in the thread zeroed in, not on the OP or the subject matter of the OP, but my post more than halfway down thread. Odd coincidence?
in the movie, the girl and he were throwing flowers on the water,when the monster throws her in like a flower, and is visibly upset when she doesn't float, the tone of the sequence completely changes. Take the movie Bambi, one could say that was a violent movie. If you don't like seeing what people post, or you don't like a person you should ignore that poster, sage advice from the previous owner, Skinnner was pretty smart. Makes more sense that complaining about their posts every time you see them. 
As for replying in this thread today, I had a very busy weekend, this is Monday. HBS is a very good friend of mine, I always look for his posts, I value his opinion and his sense of humor. There are two people in this thread that will post a response to a post of mine a few days, a week, sometime 2 weeks later.
Still about violence, eh Autumn?
Interesting, you've tried to explain why they're used more than the user has, who has remained virtually silent. As they say, "speaks volumes"!
Have a great evening, hopefully it's peaceful and quiet.
Not real. 
One can spend 2 minutes on the internet and find real life situations that are more offensive. Like this one.

A real child in a real life situation. Not a movie, not pretend. Five years old, George. Where's the outrage on that?
....violence. And yet you STILL persist in at it. Perhaps you wouldn't be surprised?
Violence is violence - fake, real, pretend, actual, whatever. Maybe you should read up on some of the perpetrators of violence against children to see what their motivations were. It's shocking. Where's your outrage, Autumn?
to them that they were probably heaping PTSD on you, too. I'm so sorry this happened to you. 
know very well the bigotry of many cops (and others, such as teachers) toward the poor, the callousness and the abuse, mental and physical, those kind inflict on their victims. It was a long time ago, but you never forget that kind of thing.
We need to set our standards for who we arm with the power of the state much higher. We've always had a real if uneven growth -- and spread -- of individual rights, but of course law enforcement lags. If the Republicans don't turn us into a police state, I believe that'll continue to get better, aided by something of the same evolution that's almost rid the market of genuinely bad toasters. 
It's getting increasingly harder to be a bad cop, or responsible for bad cops, without being exposed and held to account.
