well, we got to the root.
u say the media (press/TV/whatever) is "free".
okay, but They produce what their consumers want.
okay, what they produce is crap & violence.
so, their consumers want crap & violence.

do u see some contradiction? no?

The people are "free". They do what they want.
They want violence, so they get violence. (shot? blown up?)

The govt is elected to do what people want.
people want violence, so they get violence. (bomb me today? then you tommorrow?)

YES, i'm 100% agree with Jeff below (see ...I intend no disrespect..): it's nothing to do with govt, politics, soap opera's.
he said: It is a PEER thing.
i would add: it's a 'family' problem. No normal family? no normal friends? (no normal TV,govt,whatever). never have a real problem?
so they get to something that is alike. Either some crazy church/sect/whatever as substitute for a family, either some gang as substitute for friends. And of course, some substitute for TV/govt/whatever. And a attempt for substitute for problems (which gets, actualy, REALLY BIG PROBLEMS).

Virtual reality? oh, no need, the kids already have one. Not virtual, better, a real pseudo-reality.

so what? remember one not-so ancient thread about "books for children". what i said there and how i was torn into pieces.
Sorry, but The problem is not in me. It's in an/or Around You. in US and some other countries that go that way.
i'll try to bring up my children so they would know what is good and moreover, bad, on their own in order never to intent to harm others. Because i know very well which is what. Jeff will bring up his children in same way coz he know what is bad. You may bring up your children in that way too (i hope). But tell me, how the n-th average american will bring up his children with a knowledge of good and, more important, bad, when s/he does not know it? or, actualy, does not care?

This is IMHO the worst thing in US: the 'dont care' principle. i bow to mammon for telling it in one word: 'irresponsible'.
This principle goes through everywhere...

well, enough
your turn(s), please
