Is television taking our kids and making it so that they do inaproprate things liek swear and take on violence?

Too me thats a whole lot of bull crap. imaging seeing MI3 and saying ohh i feel like shooting someone cuz tom cruise did. Thats a bunch of garbage

arubberchicken

from wat ive heard, kids growing up and seeing that everyday that has *some* influence.. but still people should know wat is reality and wat isnt

when i was yunger i watched alot of R movies and im not killing ppl i think it a just a scape goat for ppl to say it was a show that made em do it.

Yeah some people have problems. Some teen hung himself after seeing the Saddam hanging video. That's crazy,but its a true story. Some kids get the swearing from parents too. I don't know why some people think most teens or kids are going to do what they see! That's dumb not every teen is like that. Some of them have issues. There are just somethings that can't be explained. When I watch movies with smoking it doesn't mean I'm going to smoke! That's stupid too!

lolol. I'd like to think you were lucky to be able to watch R movies but I'd still to be too scared to watch them.

I think TV has influenced kids. I mean, if kids watch a lot of sports than they want to play sports, yeah? And swearing on TV has definitely made me swear when I was younger. It seemed like the cool thing, because I see Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta and everyone else dropping the f-bomb in Pulp Fiction and it's kind of hard not to follow them, even if I didn't understand what the movie was about. Violence I'm not too sure about. Occasionally kids try to pull kung fu moves but I like to think they only do that when play fighting.

i think TV ,music ,video games, anything media wise or connected to it
influences kids to a point not to the extreams like most think but to some
extent to where its noticeable.

yea i was sort of exagerating a bit but there is a point where kid will take idead from all these people for example just today when baby cousin{10 years old} came in he was like:

'hey wuts up man?'
'nuttin much kid, hey go watch TV ill make ya sumthing good'
'nahh all the shows are f**king boring now'

.... i couldn't belive my ear man like my friggin 10 year old baby cousin talking to me like that. Ok my frineds talk to em liek tat but i've pretty much haven't heard a little kid in his clas ever say the 'f' word../.. =/

many people take the easy way outta a situation and find a little dumb reason to explain they're behaviour. many people cant just say ' i dont know why i shot him' or whatever, but they blame it on the programs we watch. there was a case where two teenage boys in the earlie ninteys commited suicide cuz heavy metal told them. technically if you believe that a song told you to do something, your not healthy in the first place. yes tv has gone down in the past years, resorting to violence and sex, because of a lack of ideas, but we cant blame the tv for our problems. its tru that kids take examples from the tevision because they do not understand that what they are seeing is fake, and for entertainment. so we have to take a step and realise that tv is fictional entertainment, not an excuse for violence, or a good role modle.

some people have really weak minds and are inulenced but still they should be smart enough to not kill. Im pretty sure if you showed a random gorrilla the king kong movie he wouldn't try and strangle every perosn now would he?

koga23

then ppl with weak mind and easyly influenced should watch violent movies
