No Kiya, what I meant was I never been violent because of movies/games. There is a distinct difference between seeing someone get blown away with a machine gun and actually pulling the trigger yourself.
*sighs* Its really tricky to explain if you haven't been in a fight. You get a mixture of the fight/flight response, fear, pain and for the violently-minded, pleasure. This is what makes a psycho or pacifist, their reaction at the very moment of conflict. I think whatever movie/game you've watched/played is the furthest thing from your mind at that point.

It's simply about the individual. This is why global cesorship is wrong, I really don't believe that the guy watching hellraiser then gets up, goes out and kills/fights whatever because of what he saw in the movie.
Movies, games, disturbing internet sites are used commonly as scapegoats by the authorities to easily explain away murders, riots, rapes etc.
The problem is far deeper.

Take the song 'Cop Killer' from Ice-MF-T. Its ABOUT a cop getting murdered. It never tells anyone to go out there and do it! The problems in ghetto area have not been solved by the simple banning of one song. That is sub-moronic.

(Anyone with the lyrics may correct me on this but I don't beleive that was the message of the song-I've only heard it a few times.)

Banning Darwin???? Maybe they burn witches there too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

" Road rage, air rage. Why should I be forced to divide my rage into seperate categories? To me, it's just one big, all-around, everyday rage. I don't have time for distinctions. I'm too busy screaming at people. " -George Carlin
