(14,040 posts)The next logical question is, what is wrong with Americans that violent movies, TV, and video games contribute to carnage in this country. These mass shootings don't happen in other countries, so it has to be something wrong with Americans that violent movies, TV, and video games somehow convince/condition these unwell people to go out and kill innocent children.
Using Newtown as an example, instead of having a discussion about why the mother, herself a victim in this latest mass shooting, allowed easy access to her weapon's stash, when by all reports, she knew her son to be unwell, let's instead talk about movies, tv and video games. Instead of having the discussion of why this family didn't seek help for their son who was reportedly unwell, let's instead talk about movies, tv and video games. Or let's talk about a guy who was unwell, killed some people and it was because his neighbor bought guns for him. The system was actually working in that case, but the neighbor circumvented that system but instead we'll talk about movies, TV and video games.
Or how about we talk about the millions upon millions of people who watch violent movies, TV and play violent video games that DON'T go out and kill a bunch a people, nor have never had the desire to shoot any living being or own a gun. Nah, that would be too logical and wouldn't go to making your point that it's never easy access to weapons or the lack of proper mental health care in this country but violent movies, TV and video games instead.
