Oh, I can agree with that but no one wants to hear about it. A movie culture that glorifies violence. Pulp Fiction and even the upcoming movie Django. Kill, kill, kill. It begins as soon as mother plant their children in front of the boob tube. Apparently though I’m not being cool when I bring this up or something. People will blame toy guns first before they even dare question Hollywood. It’s all interconnected.

Here’s the thing though.

I like action movies, I like shooter video games BUT I have enough common sense to tell fantasy apart from reality and understand that the image of guns presented in the media I consume is different from the reality.

Obviously not everyone has such such common sense. Violent movies and video games are sold the world over, why don’t other countries have a similar violence problem?
