Violence in the Media
In the world we live in, violence is a way of life for many people. Chancesare, most of the people reading this live in nice, upper-middle class suburbs,just like I do. But, just because we don't see this violence doesn't mean itdoesn't happen. We all know it happens, we're not stupid, we watch the news, weread the newspaper. So why does the government try to censor violence? Why doesthe government try to censor sex? Is it because we can't handle it? No. I canhandle it. I may be what most psychologists would call desensitized, but thatdoesn't mean I'm going to shoot up my junior high school. I could never do that.
They're as desensitized as we are, and that's a good thing. You know why? No onecares anymore. These movies are aimed at the lowest commondenominator because intelligent movie goers are as extinct as the Dodo bird. Now, ifwe want to see sex, under agers are going to have sex. The government shouldnot, and can not, keep us from seeing what we want to see. That creates a lot moreproblems than it solves, not to mention that rape is hell of a lot worse then aminor watching Striptease. I've seen at least a gajillion R rated movies, and I can walk into anystore in Connecticut and buy some M rated video games. Just for a moment, let's pretend we live in a future where TV containingsex or violence is illegal, and so are video games and any other medium. If you can't get it there, somepsychopaths are going to rape poor, defenseless people. well, I can't think of a good reason. Crazy people willalways do crazy things, and there is nothing the government can do to stop it.
