Basically, an old fart wanting everything to be as it was in the old fart days. No thanks.

It's that from all with some of them to take with us for being now in today

What can you do about it though? People don't want to change, and are not going to change anytime soon. I agree with all of what he is saying, but yet i still like playing COD and watching action movies. I guess i've been brainwashed into mainstream media.

@Clariccy The amount has gone up, but so has the amount of produced shows. By our generation I meant the under 30 year olds, the generation I'm a part of and he is talking about in this video. I'm not saying that he's wrong, all I said is that violence in any kind of media is nothing new, nothing that hasn't existed before. In the end people can choose whether or not they want to see a movie like Deathwish. As for kids, it's the parents' job to monitor and decide what their children are watching

@oldschoolbarman What do you mean by "our generation", btw ?
-
@oldschoolbarman the amount is (doh?!)

@BladedArrowTBGamer because what is going on now is totally comparable (lol)

Interesting, but I must say that ancient mythology, fairy tales in their original versions and even the old testament can be rather violent , so I don't think one can say that violence in any kind of media is new to our genertaion.

because there was no violence before video games and tv and movies
Im getting tired of how all the big screen movies and games are all around killing and death :(

This guy is totally right. It is mass vicarious sadism. And the most obvious and irrefutable indictment of our times.
