damn!
damn, this has beena popular post!
But I think I've got this one in a nutshell....
In playing/watching games and movies that show violence, gore, bloodshed and criminal behaviour, we get to experience the things that in most cases we'd not actually do, or want to do, or may fantasise about doing, but don't follow up on, we all know this...
However, having already experienced this in the form of entertainment, I think it should in fact lessen the urge to go out and kill people...etc, I mean, why would you want to go out and do the same thing right after you've seen it (porno films being a slight exception) done over and over in a game or movie?
Just put this theory to anything but movies and games, here's mine....
"lets say you can, for some totally ficticious reason, eat nothing but pizza for six months (that sounds like a dream to even me, but I'm sure it's get old), then you're given a $20, and told to go out and buy yourself whatever you want to eat....the chances of you coming back with pizza would seem pretty slight, don't you think?"
See what I mean? My point is, we are predominately raised in a society where such things as murder, theft, and mutilation are pretty much frowned upon, and cause penalty. If you choose to ignore this, and your conscience allows for you to actually take part in such behaviour, you don't to use movies need movies or games as your excuse! Just plead insanity, and quit spoiling all that is good in entertainment for the rest of us!
PEACE - :p
