God! This topic make me so [COLOR=red]Angry[/COLOR]!:flaming:
*Breathes* So i will say the exact same thing that i said when this topic came up about videogames on GameFaqs.com.
Desensititizing children to violence can be a bad thing, but it can also be a very good thing. Think about it for a second. A kid is sheltered his whole life, and only gets to watch teletubbies and never sees anything violent. Then one day he is outside playing with his dog, the ball rolls into the road and the dog chases after it, the dog is hit by a car and splattered all over the pavement, blood and guts lying on the ground and stuck to the grill of the car that just hit it. The sheltered kid might be mentally damaged for the rest of his life from something like that. but a kid who has been watching an overly violent episode of rouroni kenshin or has been killing something on an fps an hour ago might not have as much of an effect on him.
In that sense i think that overprotecting your children could even possibly lead to violence. The kid might think that that violence isn't real and there is no consequences for carving open some other person. These ignorant housewifes have nothing else to do and should be told to shut up and go clean something.
