UK: Manga: "Gateway Drug" to Crime

[Blight]

I was thinking the same thing because this sounds similar to the bullshit they have been giving video games for years.

The rockstar lawsuites anoy the crap outa me.

I wrote a seven page research paper on the affects of video game violence on people and all the real "evidence" that scientists came up with in their experiments is not only subject to interpretation but an interpretation of things we don't really know about. Short way of putting it is that what scientist are measuring when they say that it makes people more violent is that is makes their brains more active then scientists interoperate that as being more violent. If you really want a good example of what I'm talking about look at these results http://www.apa.org/journals/psp/psp784772.html
and then read what Jeffrey Goldstein has to say about them http://culturalpolicy.uchicago.edu/conf2...stein.html
(cause he totally destroys their credibility )

I wish people would just start taking some damn responsibility for themselves. Blaming things on circumstances and inanimate objects just encourages more behavior along the same lines. If you are sick enough to rape someone and then blame it on a book, you just need the unholy hell beat out of you. :mad: The stupidest part about the article is that what the kids are reading is all right but they are worried that it will make them want to go get the more adult (not xxx) stuff? Isn't that the principle of what further learning is about; you move past the kiddy stuff to expand your mind.

PS I hate the PTA; just had to add that. :p
