Naive People are Dangerous

[killaessedai]

You don't see my point, because you are only looking at it from your perspective.
You're not everyone and your situation is far different than other people.

If it were not for her, I would likely be different - not because of violent media, but because I lacked the strong foundation of mutual respect, appreciation, and peaceful nature.

In this society your mother is one of the few places to gain that foundation. Without it you would have been lost in a violent, cruel world, with very few voices of sanity. Can we only blame the parents when children do violent things? Especially when you realize the parents are about the only people teaching these things nowadays, and everything else you see tells you to be the opposite.

- Trying to find something to blame when the fault lies in this society's lack of emphasis on education, respect of one's fellow human beings, and lack of concern for others.

You said it yourself man....
Part of society is not just us humans but TV, music, and video games.

You completely missed the point.













We should be well-grounded, moral, and respectful enough of each other and this planet to be able to interpret art as art. Max Payne 3 was a gruesome video game, but it had a powerful story to tell. In my opinion it is art. Violence in real life, is deplorable. There is a clear distinction, and people should not have an issue seeing that.
Respect and understanding.

As long as violence exists in movies and games it will exist in this world. You're deluding yourself to think otherwise. I'm not saying remove all violent movies, but there will always be violence in this world as long as we continue to consume it like we do.

You have that backwards. Art imitates life. Our art forms are violent because we are violent. Not all of us, of course, but we are, as a species. For all of the violence in art that you are condemning, you fail to notice that in our society, violence is at an all-time low. Surely, our entertainment activities must be on the right path.

How about we stop looking for scapegoats and blame the individual when he/she falls? And this applies to animals, as well. Johnny shoots up his school because of a defect in him, not because he played too much Call of Duty and GTA or D&D or listened to too much death metal, etc. It wasn't even because he was picked on or his parents abused him. It was his defect.

Sums up my point quite well.

HOLD. THE FUCK. ON.

"As long as violence exists in movies and games it will exist in this world."

That is the single, most ignorant statement I have heard in my entire life.
