Violence on television causes humans to be violent in real life. - General

Just like watching porn makes you good at sex Or watching Music videos means you can sing Or watching Billy Mays means you can sell Or watching Michael Jackson means you can do the moonwalk

Correct me if I'm wrong... But wasn't there much more violence before? I don't see vikings traveling around plundering and raping... Of course people are affected by what they see... They learn HOW TO be violent... They don't necessarily learn to be violent. Just because people who did bad stuff and copied after stuff they saw on TV or in games, it doesn't mean they would never done the crime if they hadn't seen it on TV. If i was gonna kill someone... Which I don't have any plans to do, but lets pretend. I'd probably do it in some "cool" way I've seen in a game or in a movie... But I'm pretty sure that if I was crazy enough to do that, I would kill someone anyways... just different... If I see an apple in a tree across the river and i really want it... I'm not sure how I want to go over the river, but I remember seeing someone do it once... I'll probably do it the way I saw someone else do it... But had I not seen that, it wouldn't hinder me in getting over the river.. I would just find another way.

depending on your surroundings, parents and role models you have you wont necesarrily turn out violence crazy.

The T.V is a lie, only dumb people get controlled by T.V, but most of everyone knows the TV is a lie

God damn garry why are you so fat and dumb?

Everybody has the capacity to be violent. That's why we have laws and rules to discourage that kind of behaviour.

when I see someone on TV who kills someone, I also kill someone... Not.

I watched american psycho a while back, I guess based on this study I will go do things akin to the movie because I learned it was accecptable from a obvious work of fiction.

[QUOTE=Capn'Underpants;27030907]I watched american psycho a while back, I guess based on this study I will go do things akin to the movie because I learned it was accecptable from a obvious work of fiction.[/QUOTE] It's not a study it was a highly unethical experiment performed by a researcher called Bandura, it involved three groups of children each who were shown a different video, two contained an adult hitting a bobo doll, one had no violence (acting as a control group) in the two that conained violence the reaction towards the adults was different, in one another adult shouted at them after they hit the doll, in the second the adult was complimented after doing the same. Children that had seen the version in which the violence was promoted, when put in a room with a bobo doll, beat the shit out of it. While those that didn't instead played with it. I'd say that's pretty conclusive evidence that TV can have an adverse effect on children if it appears to promote violence. Now, idiots, let the thread die.
