Hate Violence response

Are Americans afraid to leave their homes because of all the violence the media reports?


  It IS true that most of the time when you turn on the telivision the first thing you see is vioence.  Either you watch it or hear about it all day long.  The evening news is filled with awful events that destroy peoples personal lives.  OUCH  that kind of stung.  Its true we live in a violent world.  So why blame media for what ultimately  is our desision.  I enjoyed the reading , "Hate Violence, Turn It Off" written by Tim Goodman Pg 167.  The author says, " Don't like it? Don't watch it."  I strongly agree with that statement. 

I'll tell you what I do no to be true about violent video games.  I have 2 son's now my youngest is 14.  At 8 years old He knew things that I had no idea if were true or not.  Because of video games he knew all the Gun's, their make their model what they do and what they were capable of.  He knew what a AK47 was.  Besides that he knew the rest of the collection too.  I was shocked.  


Are you wondering if I still let him play violent video games or not? I did.  Chock it up to something gained.
