Do you think violent movies, TV, and video games contribute NOTHING to the carnage in this country?

[kydo]

46. I'm not saying

that some people take games way over the top and that we shouldn't be concerned if all a person does is play games 24/7. Nor am I saying that the arts have no role in the violent society we have in the US.

What I am saying is that one of the biggest difference from us and other countries is hate radio and hate tv.

You have people telling you ....

government is the enemy
take back your country
they are coming for your guns
white people are being oppressed
christians are being oppressed
its womens fault
pro choice is bad bomb planned parent hood
fem-nazi
make the white house white
the government should help drug addicts and thieves
black people are all on welfare taking your money
the president is hitler
take back your country
god hates gays so you should to

I could go on and on, hate radio and hate tv do, they go on and on 24/7 and take callers expresssing the same thing..

When you add the hate and fear being spread by hate radio and faux news to a society already numb to violence and access to high capacity military assault weapons, its just a matter of time before the next killing.

These things happen much less in other countries that watch the same movies we do, listen to the same music we do, and play the same games we do. What they don't have and that we do is hate radio, hate tv and access to military assault weapons. The thing other countries have that we don't have is access to mental health resources and less a stigma for seeking mental health care.

Its when you combine all of this together you get monthly massacres like we have in the US.
