No kidding, you're just catching onto that now? Why do you think this society is so screwed up, or are you so much a part of it that you didn't even notice. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

What I get is you think watching sicko perverted violence is fun and entertaining and you never question why that is. I don't watch it because I don't need to. You need to ask yourself why you like this crap, you may learn something about yourself. Fat chance of that happening. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I think Bob said it well, " It's purposeless violence porn". Earlier I had mentioned the show "Dexter", when we were surfing looking to binge on something. About 5 episodes in, my wife and I looked at each other and said, meh. A little soft porn and somebody being dismembered every episode. There has to be some video that is more entertaining. "This is at least the third time" ?? what I don't want to creep you out or anything, but I don't play video games either. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

I don't either. I've tried dozens in the last 20 years and they all bore me silly in the first 10min. I'm a chess player and a crossword do'er, video games have no challenge. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | I don't get watching violent, painful images. Look, I can think of ways to kill hateful people to make them suffer the way they deserve, like Nazi war criminals (hanging was letting them off easy), or others I'd rather not mention. I could go into detail. But it's cruel and uncivilized, and I couldn't bear to watch it even if it were fiction. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

It's funny, if you're a decent parent you will do anything to prevent kids under the age of 10, especially really young kids, from watching any kind of the violence porn that shows gory details. We instinctively know it's wrong and unhealthy and sends the wrong message to children. Somewhere along the way lots of people lose their moral center and they think it's entertaining to see cruel violence done to others, even if it's fiction. They are no longer repulsed by it, and that should call for a lot of inner searching as to why that is. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

It really depends. I do not mind horror-movie violence. It is so fake it does not matter. 99% of TV violence does not bother me. I can think of 2 exceptions. When they broke Beecher's arms and legs on "OZ" and in the same show when they nailed the Chester to the gym floor. Maybe 1-2 other things on that show got to me. OTOH, I cannot stand watching violence to a dog on TV at all. The President is a fink. |
