Yet you cannot support your allegations. I took your first example and showed you were completely wrong in your understanding of the article.

I'll repeat, you have a habit of posting links to articles whose headlines seem to support your views. A reading of those articles often shows just the opposite, as was the case of the boy savagely beating a little girl.




As far as flat earth is concerned, that nonsense is in your Bible along with other nonsensical things like a 6-day Creation and a Global Flood which you also believe.

LOL... back to... when you have a good question, let me know.

I gave you multiple examples of how what children see can affect their reality. To ignore it is to be a flat earther. :D

You don't need to pot silly smilies to convey your embarrassment. It is apparent.

In case you missed it...
Take your first example.

First off, why is a 12 year old 180 pound boy play wrestling with a six-year-old girl weighing 48 pounds?

...Tate inflicted brutal injuries on the 48-pound Tiffany, leaving 35 wounds, including a fractured skull, a lacerated liver, a broken rib, internal hemorrhaging and cuts and bruises.

In your wildest imaginings, do you really see this just imitating a wrestling match? Or, did you see a headline that you thought would bolster your assertions and post the link without bothering to read the article? It wouldn't be the first time.

Would you care to try to actually respond? If you don't see this as a lot more than kids imitating TV shows, you are really in a fantasy. This is a case of a big teenager, possibly mentally ill, beating up on a defenseless small child.



Or are you just going to continue to pretend that I'm a Creationist?

Real question? I was pointing out your very flawed "logic". I was pointing out that, once again, you posted some links to headlines that you thought would support your case. Actually reading and comprehending the article shows it doesn't support your case. In your continued defense of the link, you show a callousness and an inability to understand the difference between play among peers and a brutal attack of a teenager on a child.

If there are any questions, they would be...
When are you going to actually read and comprehend articles before you post links to them?
Why are you incapable of understanding the difference between play and a brutal attack by a young person who may possibly be severely mentally challenged.

Some people say it doesn't affect their thinking... and the answer is, "Then why do companies spend billions on advertisement?" - because it affects behavior.

And then followed up with some "examples" to support your simplistic views.

Some religious people tend to think that simplistic answers solve complex problems.

Nancy Regan with her "Just say no" campaign. Drug usage did not go down.

The promise ring nonsense to prevent teen pregnancy. If there was any reduction in teen pregnancy it was because boys convinced gullible girls that it was OK to give blow jobs.

Simplistic "answers" do not solve complex problems. But that is one of the draws of fundamentalism. GodDidIt is so much easier than having to actually learn anything.

Bye.

I agree wholeheartedly!

As a child become desensitized, they are more apt to play out what they see. Some people say it doesn't affect their thinking... and the answer is, "Then why do companies spend billions on advertisement?" - because it affects behavior.

You haven't even heard the half of it. They're even selling toys for preschoolers that glamourize genocide:

The reality is though those are isolated incidents and not reflective of larger trends and the millions who partake in violent media.

But it's not. Overall we never known more peace as a species. For much of the world our chances of being killed in an act of violence has never been lower. Overall poverty remains at historic lows and records of political stability are increasing and growing with each day.
It's not perfect and we still have a lot of problems, but overall violence is going down, even in the presence of violent.

As I said, it's not perfect but it is happening. For so much of the world, including you and I, the world has never been more safe and more peaceful. Our chances of being violently killed have never been lower. And the best part is that claim is backed by research. It's happening despite violent media.
