I'm now past 65 years of age.I grew up with violent cartoons as well as violent tv shows.We played with toy guns, army men, bows & arrows.The irony is that there at least seemed to be far lass actual violence than i see in real life now.I know that some of it is just the math of more people, but the hatred & violence seems much more intense.It's time we take a look at our psychology a little closer.

when we grew up there were, (at least in my house) only 4 channels to choose from
now a days there are (at least in my house) over 4000 channels, all competing for ratings
and it seems the worse the news feed the more airtime

In my opinion, violence is only 5% of the news but gets 95% of the airplay

my buddy was up a tree and got shot in the side of his eye
he dropped out of the tree running by screaming he was blind
when his dad got to the hospital we told him he dumped his dirt bike and got a pebble in his eye
then the doc came out with the pellet...lol

Sorry about your friend.We had wrap around head shields and body armor and at most the bb's would just leave a welt.

he was fine except all air rifles went in gun case for the rest of the summer
over 40 years later he can pull back edge of socket and you can see where pellet lodged
that will teach him for shooting me in the ass when I'm grabbing more ammo...lol

That and the internet, which makes it easier for those on the fringe to connect and validate each others ideas.
