Video games and music and movies are definitely to blame....perhaps entirely to blame.

Can anyone please provide PROOF that murder, among other inhumane acts, occurred before these putrid forms of "entertainment" came to be? The utopia that existed before the 50's and that no-good Elvis Presley has sadly gone away.

I may not be a psychologist but that isn't going to stop me from strapping on my know-it-all cap and trying to analyze kids I know nothing about.

Again, I just want someone to provide some sort of proof that robbery, rape, murder, assault, genocide, war, etc. existed before television. Go ahead...I'll be waiting.

I hope that's sarcasm.

Well considering there are some people in here that are blaming the music, tv, and video games, it's hard to tell sometimes.

Thanks for the laugh, your thinking is truly off the wall.
Did they have TV back in the civil war era? I didn't think so.

Do you not miss the days where people of all backgrounds got along? Remember when no such things as weapons existed? Somehow our ancestors got along without spears and bows, and if they had them they certainly NEVER would have used them against anyone else. It really is a shame.

What does this have to do with your question? You asked for proof, I proved you were wrong. Murder existed long before the 50's and long before TV.

Exactly! Please, someone show me proof that Stone Age humans didn't just sit around weaving baskets and gathering flowers... TV and music is entirely to blame. Parenting is NOT the issue here!

Inconceivable. Human Beings have always been completely rational and peace-loving creatures.

That is, until this.....filth.....came on the scene.
