Kids were given TV s and computers and phones and VCRs and everything under the sun to keep them out of the parents hair since parents weren t allowed to smack them anymore. Parents went forth to live the American dream, all the while forgetting to instill a much needed consequence vs. reward ideal in their kids heads, trusting that it will be learned in school. But as the schools were generously laying the smackdown on the kids and teaching them that it is not OK to blow up the school because it happened in a Stallone movie, parents were busy fucking that up to by suing schools for teaching their children about consequences. So now every avenue that once taught children that hacking someone up with an axe could result in severe punishment is gone. Parents don't discipline their children for fear of warping their minds because of some crazy ass with pointed ears.
Schools don t discipline the kids for fear of being sued.
So now kids grow up thinking that they can get away with anything, because they have never been taught that there are things that happen to you if you fuck up bad enough. I also did some quick research and discovered that people killed each other even before TV was invented . This may come as a shock to some, but it is true. So making a stunning leap in logic I can assume that TV and the media in general have nothing to do with violence. Further I can also say that a game where I blow the back of someone s head off really has nothing to do with violence either.
