NO violence in the 80's or 90's?

So there's this group resistance director in Maryland who says that violence in our society today is all due to the Rap, Video games, and Internet....yadda yadda yadda. However, he made probably one of the stupidest and most incorrect comment I have heard from a public speaker, especially from someone who should know what he is resisting. 🙄

"In the 80's and 90's, you didn't have video games, you didn't have the violence in the media, you didn't have the Internet."

LOL

heres the link....

The ****? You had video games and rap in the 80's and 90's. His *****-ass needs to stop using video games and to explain the trend of violence today. People said the same shit in the 80's and 90's. The ****?!

And.. there's our token angry black man rant for the day.

G'night folks!

The guy is a moron.

Completely wrong.

Clearly it's the growing atheism in our society that is responsible for all evil.

Anyway, people will always find excuses to paint their nostalgic past as "better" than recent developments. The world is every bit as f*cked up as its ever been (or every bit as wonderful, depending on one's outlook). We just have youtube, internetz, 24 hour news stations, media fenzies, blogs, etc. to spread it around more and give the bad stuff more coverage.

Same information, but easier access to such information. Case closed.

I blame the growing violence in our society on the growing violence in our society.

lol @ both this idiot and the complete failure of the mass media to understand/describe any of the research into media exposure.

"In the 80's and 90's, you didn't have video games, you didn't have the violence in the media, you didn't have the Internet."

WTF? The eighties were way more violent than today.

Dude.

1. Do you have tourette syndrome or some type of illness where you have the need to insult me with every word I come out with?

2. Do you always have to say "****ing" in a middle of a word in every friggin sentence? It's becoming not only annoying but hilarious, and no one is laughing with you this time, buddy.

3. If your only reason in posting in the GDF, in this thread is so that you can make a total ass of yourself, please GTFO.

Clearly none of you lived in the 80s or 90s. I don't remember any violence at all.

He is correct. Violence was invented in the year 2000.
