magma wrote:Do you really think violent video games create violent people? How come all my friends have played violent video games and watched extremely violent movies their whole life, but are all peaceniks? My older brothers used to get me to watch slasher flicks when I was about 5 or 6 years old... I've watched some of the most intense movies you'll ever see, but I haven't thrown a punch since I was about 13 (and that was to stop someone bullying a younger friend on the bus).
I've also got a formidable collection of Tartan Extreme DVDs, but I've never had the urge to cut someone's face off.
Why is it that, if it's video games and movies causing problems (which are available to all kids) that it tends to be those from difficult upbringings, broken homes and poor surroundings that end up with violent crime problems?
What about violent music? Grime? Should we ban grime? Gangsta rap? What about all the music that the Columbine kids listened to - how come it's the video games and movies, but not the music?

This was clearly pretty unpleasant and undesireable behaviour from both blokes who need to get their anger sorted out in other places - perhaps rings and gyms!
Agreed. Fights exist to clear up such indifferences.To be honest though, if you move away from someone on the bus and then they follow you to give you a slap; they deserve to get beaten down. Kid thought that an old man was an easy touch and tried to push it as far as he could.... a sensible boy wouldn't be doing it again; lesson learned.
This is my thought on fighting genrally, all fighting like that really accomplishes is displaying a complete lack of control. To me it takes more of a man to settle differences with words. Although not to disrespect martial arts as most forms, as i am aware, employ the importance of self control and i do admire the athleticism involved in mastering such practices, i'm talking more about losing control through anger and hatred towards someone else and punching their face in. To do that requires nothing but an inhibited ability to keep a lid on your own emotions when appropriate which i would have thought is something necessary to function in society at all.gwa wrote:fights dont exist to clear up indifferences, resorting to violence to settle an arguement shows lack of intelligence and generally speaking, a dickhead
I suppose you could say that violence is more institutionalized now. Ideologically we as a people are more conditioned to accept violence only in pre-determined cases and to actively endorse its acceptable contexts. The law outlines the extent to which an individual has the right (permission) to use physical force.

Hell, up until the 1920s, men boxed barehanded and executions were publicized. Since the rise of suburbia in the last fifty years, people have gotten more and more uptight on violence. Real life violence has fallen drastically, and entertainment violence has gone up.

in any normal world, no-one would watch that and find it "awesome"
