Re: 24 injured in knife attack at High School
I've never seen a convincing argument that firmly places the blame on the show/movie/music/game/or book.
What I *have* seen are a lot of confused kids that, from a young age are taught to fear their bodies and that everything fun that's worth doing has already been done and subsequently banned by their fearmongering forbears.
If people talked to their kids this shit would happen a lot less. My son struggled with Depression, briefly, and because I talked to him plainly about it he was able to break the habit before it became a 20 year routine. People have been shitting and fucking for roughly 30,000 years...I'm pretty sure they can handle it.
I specifically bring this up because many of the problems these kids are dealing with aren't new, they're old - they're the oldest, in fact. But because we've fostered this society of puritans, nobody ever talks about the shit that everybody on the planet goes through, and *some* kids either don't know how to ask the right questions to understand, or they are bullied and teased for asking those questions. I speak from experience, and quite a lot of miscellaneous research over the years.
