Are you overweight? Do you sometimes breathe cigarette smoke (more in other counties)? Are you likely to be diagnosed with cancer or have a heart attack before the age of 50? If you chose to not have a car and ride your bike everywhere is anyone forcing you to breathe car exhaust fumes and likely get cancer? No one is forcing any of this on you. Yet by some unknown force it still affects almost everyone. Crazy.

Wow, and how exactly did I say anything like that? I never ONCE said that these movies CAUSE anything, did I? All I have said is that *I* do not like them, that their success reflects things about people, that the people that thought of the images and the people that like them have problems that they would like to believe no one realizes but are in reality pretty clear, and that people accept thse types of movies by judging the general group's reactions (this is how most opinions are formed, and why a movie where a baby gets raped cannot be shown). Why don't YOU try getting to the root of the problem. The media? Wow, now it's clear...

Not to mention that when the words "bloodiest movie you've ever seen" or "people fainted while watching" will draw crowds. They want to see if it's the bloodies movie they've ever seen.
Besides you're too late for this argument. Americans like violence and stuff that is considered "bad" for them. Your argument is nothing new.
1950's - Tales from the Crypt comics were said to cause kids to become serial killers
1960's - this new music called "rock and roll" was said to be for devil worshipers
1970's - Porn chic, uprise in violent movies, ect
1980's - VHS's spread of pornographic movies and other violent films of the 70's
1990's - the internet's wide spread of porn, graphic images, ect to anybody at anytime, rap music
21st century - violent games causing violent kids
There is something every single decade that can be seen as "bad" or "unnecessary" for people.

Interesting. Well where are the babies being raped and torn apart movies. That would sure cause a comotion. Tickets on sale soon. Hey muscletang, now you know what you're doing this friday night with your girlfriend/wife/kids
And think of the fond memories your kids will have when they see whatever demented scene that's 10 times as bad as those shown today. What a great fu*king world we live in.
