Once again, I repost this, since you also seem to have brain damage that prevents you from comprehending the meening of the word advocate:

ad·vo·cate
Pronunciation: 'ad-v&-k&t, -"kAt
Function: noun
1 : one that pleads the cause of another; specifically : one that pleads the cause of another before a tribunal or judicial court
2 : one that defends or maintains a cause or proposal

There is a big, big, big, difference between depicting something in entertainment, and advocating it. As I said to guru, the difference is when these liberal idiots think their celebrity status entitles them to preach their left wing ideologies to us, ala Erin "the mushroom man" Sorkin and "The West Wing", or ala Alec Baldwin threatening to leave the country if Bush is elected, or Barbara Striesand setting up a political website to further the lies and propaganda of the DNC, or in this case, Steve Earle taking up the cause of Johnny Taliban Walker in his song.

As for your list:

- Reading a murder novel
I love a good murder mystery novel, but I usually read non fiction.
- Seeing a murder mystery movie (BTW, doe s George Lucas advocate killing through his Star Wars franchise?)
Not only do I enjoy murder mystery novels, I enjoy murder mystery movies too. No, George Lucas does NOT advocate killing through his Star Wars movies, anymore than Saving Private Ryan advocated murder. You'll notice I used the word "murder" instead of "killing", the two words have different implications in their meanings. Maybe you can find an adult to show you how to use a dictionary so you can see the difference for yourself.
- Watching a sprting event (as they have beer commericals...and stuff)
No, I don't watch any sprting events, or any sporting events either. It's not because I'm opposed to the beer commercials though. I'm opposed to sitting on my butt being a couch potato all weekend long, getting fat and lazy watching someone else play sports when I could be out playing sports or doing something myself.
- Reading a newspaper - after all, they do report on murders/robberies/etc.
The only newspapers available to me where I currently live are U.S.A. Today, and the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. So no, I don't read the newspaper, not anymore. I can get my news online, without the liberal bias, thank you.
- Reading a magazine - see above
Funny you should mention that. I was just discussing that with my fiancee about a week ago. I spent a couple of hours going through the magazine rack at Barnes and Noble, trying to find a good magazine to read. Their were some special interest magazines regarding computers, hunting, and firearms, etc..., but I didn't find any news related magazines that weren't very biased and slanted towards the left in their coverage. Do you know of any good ones?
- Watching television - etc., etc., etc.
I believe I've already stated that I watch very little television. I don't have people coming up to me the next day asking me if I saw something on tv and feeling left out because I did not. I don't miss it.

Example:

I've heard people say that the Julia Roberts movie, Erin the Crack-Ho-B**ch is pretty good, but I'll never know for sure. Nor do I really care. I won't watch any movie with Julia Roberts in it. I assure you I don't lose any sleep at night over it.

I know someone who refuses to watch any R-rated movies. Him and his wife made a decision based on their morals and their religious beliefs. They feel that if people in a place as morally corrupt (their words, not mine) as Hollywood feel that a movie is so bad that it deserves an "R" rating, they don't want to see it. They don't make exceptions. It doesn't make a difference if the R rating is received for language, violence or nudity.
