That's right because it's damn near impossible to discern the difference between fact and fiction these days. Especially with these new fangled computers and what not. Has it ever occured to you that violence and entertainment have forever been hand in hand? Take a look at fiction centuries old and older, look in old religious texts. Violence has been in the human concious for all time. Stop trying to blame games and movies when a kids parents can't teach him the difference between reality and fantasy. If people took a vested interest in raising their children in this country, children would probably not be the subjects and perpetrators of violent crime nearly as often.
Just last night I had a conversation about a similar topic with a friend of mine who happens to be a musician. He is about a week away from getting his first album pressed and printed. He is getting 1000 copies pressed at ~$.73 a piece. That includes the book, the cd, and the jewel case. Where in gods name did the recording companies come up with charging even upwards of $10 for a CD? I havent bought a CD in roughly 5 years, much longer than ive been downloading my music for. Until I can hit up Target and get a CD for 5 bucks at the most, I'm going to continue my abstinance.
