i am enjoying this thread very much. i can remember back in the eighties when dungeons and dragons really started to get popular, me and my brother recieved it for christmas. my grandparents were very strict religious nuts. when they found out that we were having fun playing this game, they went ballistic. my parents didnt know what to do so they fell in line with their elders and they ended up having an "intervention". well they took all of our stuff and tried to "deprogram" us. it didnt work thankfully. but the thing that stuck out the most was a book they gave me called "ravaged by the new age". it was a crazy book that tried to make connections between the smurfs, mickey mouse, mighty mouse, and numerous other cartoons, books, games, and movies to satanic cults. it was wacked. im sorry i got off the subject, just thought id give a little first hand info. oh and by the way, when the shit goes down, get out of the city.

on double think
this whole thread is a perfect example of the concept of doublethink, a la 1984. It's funny that we all love horror and essentially watching people die onscreen, but real death isnt funny to us at all. Interesting. Welcome to the human race.

in the movies you know they dont die....usualy.

I don't know about doublethink...
Seeing horror movies can be enjoyable, seeing real horror is not. It's not hypocrisy... it's just that we who can enjoy horror without going crazy are able to accept or understand the difference between fiction and reality.

okay, I'll try to do my best to explain this the way I see it
you have 2 major groups of people nowadays the mentally stable, and the mentaly unstable I'll first discuss the mentally stable these people, like the most of us don't get really affected by violence in games, movies, music, it helps them, you know the feeling after a rough day at school or work, when you think, damn, wish I could beat up someone, smash a car, do something to release my anger. Well we do it in the form of movies, games and music. We release our anger, sterss, tension so we can let go of that hard day, forget our worries. if it wasn't for those games, movies and music we would become what they call the mentaly unstable mentally unstable: now, these people are in a certain degree kinde ****** up sort of speak. they sometimes can't tell the difference between real and fictional. The violence in games and movies can give them ideas, I must admit, I once played GTA allot, and made an mp3 radio station with a certain album in it, when I drove my real car with this album for the first time it kinda felt werid lol BUT I knew it was wrong, I can imagine if you suffer from some mental conditions this could be leathal.

Ignorant people blame movies and games and music,
What about the damn crooked polititians and law (judges that get caught rackatieering, cops caught selling crack) And stupid shit like that. What about loonies like the guy who Killed Laci Peterson. Don't blame movies blame the true killer Pop Culture. I think Pop Culture is decieving 'cuz it seems innocent, but can cause all kinds of pain.

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
