@BmMaXXimuS In terms of books, I do not feel I need to except other's opinions if i disagree with them. I found porn a much better educator than school sex education. Some porn is violent, some sex is violent. i would argue that all sex is essentially violent. Most people i see writing about the 'pornification' of culture are insidious, hypocritical feminists trying to blame everything on man's hard penis. Porn has actually become less violent. I do not accept that it makes you more violent.

@noklarok I think it's pretty far-fetched to suggest that porn is a positive thing. There are far better educators than pornography which is becoming increasingly violent and causing a rise in porn/sex addiction. If you read any books about the pornification of our cultures and societies you would find it very hard to argue your point that "there is not much wrong with porn" based on the overwhelming evidence supporting the contrary.

religion plays a motivational role in many armies .. video games may be used to train military but i think it is naive to think that is what makes people kill people,, in the future there will be remote control armies and the playstation style controller will be used.

there is not much wrong with porn. people have sex. kids should know what that entails. porn is maybe the best educator.

So what's the solution...?You can only boss your kid around for so long..

About that neurology. Every change in behaviour can be found in the mind. If you become religiuos/addicted, do a study, train yourself to be an athlete etc, ti all rewires your brain.

It depends on how people view something, it's what's in their head, not the medium.

Moslims should know that, because the Quran inspires people to kill others and to give 10% of their income to charity. It depends on the person.

I love to play Computer game but I don't like violent games. Playing simcity 4 will not promote violence but ideas. The problem is when they make violence "just" a game. that will effect psychologically.
