if those kids grow up to be violent criminals will you
support the state executing them?(2 part question)

Capital Punishment (which I strongly support) is not the topic of this thread.

what a copout. why are you afraid to answer? just a "no, and no" or "yes and no" or "yes and yes". and thats it. its not an opening of a new discussion.
if you dodge it ill just bump another thread you want us to forget and ask you there.
:edit: this is an excersise in confronting truth. dont fight it.

No matter which answer I gave you would've responded and the topic would have shifted. Make a thread discussing capital punishment if you want to discuss that.

haha, oh god no. Aggression is not at all the same thing as violence. and like the stuff before, its not the vast majority of people who are affected. I will elaborate more on this below.agreed, in most cases that is it. These people also can be triggered by non-media sources and tend to balance out in long term studies. However there may be greater risk for people to have media as a trigger given how hyper-realistic it is.
even in the general public it raises aggression levels. our brain learns conflict resolution in "schema" that give us how to act in certain situations given X cues. In the majority of people, they are able to inhibit the violent schema that they learned from games, however both children and some adults lack this ability. They also lack the ability, on a basic physiological level, to differentiate between real and fantasy, even if they can say things like "tv is only make believe". This fantasy/reality thing is generally true of all brains, and inappropriate sexual behavior toward women can be elicited in men by showing them pornography, so it might not just be a child thing.
I have to call uber BS.
