Just pointing out we didn;t have these things when I was young... Now the Video game console is the babysittter for kids 5 and up... and violent video songs are just a click away...

I don;t care what anyone says. You cannot tell me that this does not have some kind of effect on kids. They have to be making some kind of metal effect....

Joe you are really showing some revisionist history here. You grew up in the 70s mostly so movies like Taxi Driver, Dirty Harry, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Clockwork Orange, and Death Wish were all released that decade. Some of the most violent movies ever made.

And as far as music, just look at some of these songs from when you were young:

-Warren Zevon "Excitable Boy" is about a boy who took a girl to prom then raped and killed her
-Johnny Cash "Cocaine Blues" is about a man who woke up, did some coke, and shot his wife. Even ends the song by saying "I can't forget the day I shot that bad birch down"

Violent entertainment has always been around.

And don't even get started with the amount of songs from the 60s and 70s that were about these older guys wanting to get with "sweet 16" or 17 year old girls. Yeah that's called rape.
