When i said Government regulate, should they step in and do something about it the legal violent material.

Ex. Gangster Rap music, Games like GTA3, etc.

Also, i mean something more than the current rating systems already in place.

Do you enjoy media with lots of violence (Movies, T.V., Video Games, Music)?

As long as the violence serves the plot and not the other way around. Macbeth's wife washing the blood from her hands after murduring the king is an example of gore/violence serving the plot.

Do you have children?

My sole child is deceased.

Do you approve of children viewing violent material?

I approve of parental control over content. There are certain "violent" things that are socially acceptable. Such as the hero of a show ruffing up the villain. The motives of the characters involved is often the deciding factor for me.

If yes, how much: small amount, moderatre, extreme?

Moderate. Wonton violence without cause is unacceptable. (ie a slasher flick)

Should the government regulate media violence?

No. That is my choice for my childeren. They should concentrate on the source of the problem, not the symptoms. Parents must work longer hours to support children. If both parents work, then the child is not getting the attention it needs because of the governments lacksadasial approach toward shorting the gap between rich and poor.

Does violence belong in the media, please comment?

When has it not been an integral part? Some of the best sordid stories were writtin by names like Shakespear and Poe . . .

Good luck removing it. There never was a problem with the violence, just the lack of good parenting.

Not likely, religion are rules put forth by thinkers, and people are stupid enough to belive..... (i believe in evolution)


Do you enjoy media with lots of violence (Movies, T.V., Video Games, Music)
You bet, i see nothing wrong with "chilling out" or the like, by watching something thats "action packed" as for games, it's just another form of fun, some might play chess, i blow people to bits on a computer. Music, in a way for me, i listen to "Heavy" music, i find it's a really good way to channel my emotions, so i listen to this, and in a way it relieves me of my anger.

Do you have children
not that i know of...


Do you approve of children viewing violent material
Depends on the amount, and type of violence and the age of the child, id' say totally not to anyone under 10, 10-13 however, i dont see problems with them "seeing" and playing animated violence, such as computer games, because, they would know it's exactly that, animated, fabricated, make believe. I certainly won't be letting my kids if/when i have any watch violent movies until they were in thier teens.

If yes, how much: small amount, moderatre, extreme
as i said above, it depends really on the type, and age.

Should the government regulate media violence
No, not at all, that would be like making it illegal to wear black, it's not only stupid, but it stops people from in some cases seeing the truth, and important things that are happening, such as war, that is extremely important, no matter how violent.

Does violence belong in the media, please comment
It depends on the type of violence really, if it was news related, such as a terrorist attack, then most definately yes, if it was a show were people just beat the hell out of eachother, then no, thats pointless and stupid, violence in games/music however isnt hurting anyone, unless you think teenagers knowing swear words and the like is bad, heh, if so you have enough problems to deal with , most of the language, and "violence" used in music, is "jokes" as it were.

Do you enjoy media with lots of violence (Movies, T.V., Video Games, Music):
Yes. I think im intelligent enough to handle violence and not go insane.

Do you have children:
Not at the moment.

Do you approve of children viewing violent material:
It depends on the overall intelligence of the child. i.e. if the kid shows extreme anger then ill wait till he grows up. If he is nice and peaceful and dosent go insane at the sign of blood then I dont mind.

If yes, how much: small amount, moderatre, extreme:
Once again it depends on the intelligence and the attitude of the child.

Should the government regulate media violence:
No thats the parnets department.

Does violence belong in the media, please comment:
Yes. It is tightly knitted along the human species evolution and is what most people want.

Should the government regulate media violence?: Nah, its stupid if the government puts their effort and time in stuff like that, you gotta start with parents, if i have children later on, and I dont want him/her to watch something, then he/she wont watch that, easy as that. its not the governments fault, its the parents' fault.

Does violence belong in the media, please comment?: The world would be one flowering movie if it didnt show you the evil side, we watch violence on TV. in my oppinion you cant know what good is, if you havent experienced evil, violence is part of human life.

Do you enjoy media with lots of violence (Movies, T.V., Video Games, Music)?

As Cuc already said, it has its place, i DO have a penchant for needless violence in movies/games, However, for some strange reason, i usually find it Humourous rather that disturbing

Do you have children?

None I'll admit to or know about

Do you approve of children viewing violent material?

Not particularly, although, it depends on the TYPE of violence, if its justified by a high moral standing from the one dishing out the violence, perhaps ill let my younger siblings watch it

If yes, how much: small amount, moderatre, extreme?

Horses for Courses, e.g Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner was/is extremely violent, yet Funi edits blood on a cut lip...hmmm
[to hard to call without supplied examples]

Should the government regulate media violence?

What is a parents responsibilty if the government wants to hold sway over our kids? Are they gonna pay medical/dental and school costs too? ........ in short, NO

Does violence belong in the media, please comment?

Absolutely, Violence sells, its second only to SEX, Humans ARE after all, nothing but animals, we have primal urges/needs, no amount of parental or Governmental control can change our very being

Do you enjoy media with lots of violence (Movies, T.V., Video Games, Music)? - Yes i find them entertaining


Do you have children?- No


Do you approve of children viewing violent material? -No, i think you should try and keep them "innocent" as long as you can...I think once the child is old enough to know that the violence is only fake and isn't so impressionable...then it would be ok to see violent things....

Should the government regulate media violence? -Somewhat (only extreme stuff....or at least improve on keeping kids out of violent movies ((kids like 4-11 years old)))

Does violence belong in the media, please comment? - I think it does more bad than good but sex and violence sell.....people go to movies to see naked chicks and big explosions (guys anyways), not people solving problems in a sophisticated way or ugly girls becoming popular and what not....

Do you approve of children viewing violent material?

I say yes if its my children but I must be there if they are going to view such things so I can explain whats ok and whats not.

If yes, how much: small amount, moderatre, extreme?

As far as the chuky movies. My kids are responsible for there ages and wont pull stupid stuff just cause they watch violence. They understand.

Should the government regulate media violence?

No. If children go crazy cause of what they watch on tv it is not the fault of the movie but the fault of the parent/guardian of the child(s). With the rapper Eminem I didn't like his lyrics much but its not his fault parents didnt keep their children from licening to it. Parents should always know where their kids are and know where their kids can be trusted and were they can't.

Does violence belong in the media, please comment?

When its the type of violence like Superman vs evil vilans then its ok but if it involves racial violence or violence on overweight people or whoever then it is not alright by my standards.

I agree with Cucumba when he says its just a lack of parenting not the medias fault.
