Violent Games 'Almost' As Dangerous as Smoking
Via Voodoo Extreme, a Reuters report on some very 'interesting' research into violent games. A study out of the University of Michigan has apparently found that 'exposure to violent electronic media' is almost as dangerous to our society as smoking. "'The research clearly shows that exposure to virtual violence increases the risk that both children and adults will behave aggressively,' said Huesmann, adding it could have a particularly detrimental effect on the well-being of youngsters. Although not every child exposed to violence in the media will become aggressive, he said it does not diminish the need for greater control on the part of parents and society of what children are exposed to in films, video games and television programs."
[quote]Sodomy isn't necessarily violent... I assume by sodomy you really mean S&M? Sodomy is pretty much anything except 'regular' sex. The term includes all sexual acts other than coital sex between a male and female. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy [wikipedia.org] S&M however entails all the whips, chains, ropes, candle wax, gimp suits, and all that other weird stuff. A subclass of Sodomy you could say.[/quote] CHAIN, ROPES AND SUCH ARE bondage. THOSE WHO ARE INTO BEING TIED UP ARE not NECCESSARILY INTO PAIN. RESTRAINT AND PAIN.. DIFFERENT PUPPIES ALL TOGETHER! just becaise someone is into sodomy, doesn't mean they are into s&m get yer facts right...YAWN
