Violence in films is not dangerous. Reality and reading the newspaper is dangerous. Bush is dangerous for future generations.

I feel that the reason is this some parents do not watch what their kids are watching or doing. They want 5min. to themselves after a hard day at work so they turn the tv on to what ever and give thier kids the remote say have fun I'm taking a shower. Also not every mom and dad take the time to know their kids friends parents, I don't mean they have to go to dinner or the movies with them every night but know them find out what they let thier kids do. I feel the ratings on movies and other things are there for a reason. My ten year old was told by a fellow fourth grader who was mad at him that he was going to chop him up like in the Texas Chainsaw massacre. Just the other night I was at the video store a little boy who I say was between 8 and 10 said Saw was a very good movie. I am appaled by this. Not alot of kids know the difference between fantasy and reality. They think if they stab someone they might get up and walk away. They play mature rated games. Another told my son that it was better to hit and fight then try to solve your problem any other way. My point is that some parents just need to try to be a little more invovled with their kids.

No, it isn't the films with violence that are the problem.
What we are seeing today (the edge of tomorrow's sorrow) are young adults who spend their time in structured environments for most of their days and then go behind monitors or video screens. There is no socialization.
Their interaction with peers is limited because of their being unsure of themselves. They live through their chat groups online or behind the controls on the game. The movies only add to this lack of social contact.
By the time they enroll in the college (where I work), they do not know how to comport themselves in a classroom setting where they are expected to have opinions and be independent. They expect to be led around as they were in their primary and secondary educational settings.
Because they haven't learned the social skills necessary for the "real" world, they often react using the only "skills" they know which are the ones learned from the video games and movies.
And this behavior is increasing daily which is one of the many reasons I am going to retire this December.

People keep blaming violence in movies and tv as the culprit for the violence we have in today's American society. When will people put the blame where it belongs. We have so much violence, because of the lack of morality first of all. Promiscuity, leading to kids born with single parents. These parents doesn't teach them any respect for themselves, for others, nor for human life in general, so ther is a lack of dicipline here. This is passed on from generation to generation. This is what we are living with in America today.
When I was growing up in the 1950's, there was the usual violence on tv from westerns, detective/police dramas, etc. but kids from my generation are not a smidgen as violent as the kids are today, what does that indicate to you?

Absolutely right. Too much sex and violence in movies and on TV. The kids think this is alright to do.
