I find it hard to take any argument against such things(video games, guns, movies ect) seriously when these arguments taking place only happen when it is politically advantageous for politicians.
If these arguments being made are valid then they should be made anyways. These are not small issues, but issues that go down to the base of our society. If they are not valid enough to be made on there own ground why should i take them seriously when they are projected into the limelight by a tragedy?
Note I am not saying that i am for or against any of these arguments just stating that if they are valid then they should be able to be viewed in there own context. Of course we have to take recent(any and all) events into account but it must be done so with a clear head. Much like the current outrage regarding Aaron Swartz, is it a tragedy, absolutely, but to go out instantly and call for someones head is irresponsible and illogical.
Rash decisions lead to only more mistakes.
- camus 14y agoWhat guns are made for? you have a case for video games and movies but guns are basically made to kill.
- sdh 14y agoyou can't change anything without critical mass. it usually takes a national disaster or profound fear of something to mobilize support for popular change. depending on your point of view, that's either a feature or fault of our society.
