He provides the evidence that other countries watch the exact same movies (and have even more violent locally-produced movies) and play the same video games, but are far less violent.
So what is your response to his evidence other than calling him an idiot? There's someone in this argument with no evidence, and it isn't the author of the piece.
The onus is on people to prove Hollywood IS inciting violence, not that Hollywood ISN'T inciting violence.
Nonsense. The violent Hollywood porn wave and the ACLU protected monsters commit mass murders. Not legally purchased guns.
There have been many mass murders in Europe most notably the school shooting in Scotland and camp shooting in Norway.
Committed by mad men. No evidence. duh
Comparing European culture to America is an intellectually lazy tactic.
“He provides the evidence that other countries watch the exact same movies (and have even more violent locally-produced movies) and play the same video games, but are far less violent.”
Apples to oranges. The other countries can’t identify with the fundementals of the culture being portrayed and will - of course- be less effected by it.
But you’ll note, many foreigners actually believe our culture is how it’s portrayed in violent movies.
