Alright. I;d like to add for my points that its pretty lame for men to blame women for seducing them and then they had sex and etc. Its their own fault for not being able to exercise control over themselves. |
I'm not blaming women here, bub. I'm blaming a system that exploits them and bring out the worst in men (as far as it's affects on how the vast majority of them view/use women). You're contradicting yourself here, first you say sexual conquest and cheating are a part of mens' "nature," in fact you go as far as to say it's "in our genes," which I'm saying is a result of this expoitive system (hence it becomes prevelant "natural" behaviour), overwhelmingly dominated and controlled by men. Then you twist that around and put words in my mouth by saying I'm somehow blaming women. Absolute rubbish.

No need to blame the media, the media doesnt tell you or give you and justification to go on and ruin people's lives. Media/TV makes it bucks doing all kinds of ludicrous and dumb things, but it doesnt mean that, for example, if you buy a Vice City game or whatever, that you can go around and shoot people. Use your head, and whats better, get rid of that fucking TV. I haven't watched television in over a year, I feel so much smarter - there are so many other more useful things to do with life. Its a drug, it degrades your thinking, your memory ... just think of the hours of time wasted glued to that screen ... the damage done to your thinking by just sitting there and getting retarded ... damaged to the vision, etc. |
For your information, I don't really watch TV, not particularly for this reason, but because it's adverse effects on the intellect, and the fact that I don't find it entertaining or intellectualy stimulating (for the most part). So we're in agreement on the intellectualy degenerative effects of television (a result of the type of programming). Second, the "violence" analogy is a very poor one. Seeing violence (especially with context) doesn't make one want to actually engage in real life violence (unless you're somewhat mentally unstable to being with). Constant exposure to sex/sexual material, on the other hand, does give you quite a quite a bit incentive to engage in or want more sex (not necessarily the act itself, but activities/enviornments/interactions with sexual overtones, heavy or subtle, which leads to more sex).
EDIT: Formatting and a few minor additions.
