Just watched the new Tom Cruise trailer between between news segments of the shootings in Conn.

Talk about a bunch of Hollywood Liberal Hypocrites who glorify guns, violence, sex, drugs and make it all look so glamorous. They don't like guns except for their body guards and to make a truckload of cash.

Time to put up or shut up.

I am absolutely going to agree with you on this one. Hollywood glorifies ALL the wrong things.

And Tom Cruise is one of the worst. Wonder what his religion thinks of him promoting violence ?

Problem is... do we restrict the right to make this kind of movie? No

Does the discussion of gun control go hand in hand with display of violence control ?

But there is an age restriction. However, that isn't obeyed if a minor is with an adult.

I cringe when I see parents bringing their little kids into violent movies. Definitely more education needed here or just flat out - no one under 17 admitted PERIOD to very violent movies.

Of course - then we have the violent video games.

Yes, we have all kinds of issues we can talk about.

I just don't think more guns are the answer, though.

Hollywood is our civilization's Colosseum. They exist merely to entertain an audience of sick bastards... us.

Hitler played "Call of Duty", but only once, he didn't like how the game progressed in story mode, it infuriated him.

Another game he spent countless hours on was "Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp", it gave him a nostalgic feeling, from his childhood days.

But most of the time he could be found with his Digimon Digivice toy raising his Tentomon.
