Metro and I agree on like 18...

Pants · 02-07-2005, 01:12 AM

I don't understand the reasoning behind the "violence on TV/vid games causes violence in real life". To me, if a person is not insane to begin with, tv and games won't change that.

**Rain Man** · 02-07-2005, 01:12 AM

And yet I only agree with metrolike on 12.

We live in a world where kids and everyone else is bombarded with different kinds of media on a consistant basis. I felt the same way until i started my media classes.

I hated to vote yes on that one, but I do think it's a contributing factor. I agree with you, though, that most people don't change their behavior as a result. It's just the ones who are borderline to start with.

philfree · 02-07-2005, 01:19 AM

I've never really been in a fight as an adult but if that was my druthers it wouldn't take near as much energy as answering these questions. Of course I could answer these questions if I wanted, to anyone, in a way that a fight wouldn't be nessasary(neccasary or nec.....besides nobody wants to beat up a drunk who can't spell)..........If you knew me you'd understand

I've never run from a fight though.........

maybe I'm just dumb......I don't know

Yeah, it's like with plane crashes. People are afraid to fly because one of a hundred million (hugely approximating) crashes. Same with kids getting effed up. It takes one person to go on a killing spree after playing GTA to make a case for the argument.

Extreme cases of murder are not the only examples of violence.
