Are you trying to say that American society was better before the media had cultural influence? When “American society” was busy enslaving, lynching and degrading people because of the colour of their skin? And if people are confusing a clearly fictional context with reality, these people have some other problems which cause this extreme belief. Perhaps it is society which is creating problems and not the media, hmm? [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/mad.gif[/img]
I’m sorry if you think people are ganging up on you again, but what you are saying is something I see as a modern day witch-hunt, fueled by ignorance and wanting to put the blame for problems on the a simple “cause” instead of looking beyond blame and tackling the problem. Oh, and if you think the media “brainwashes” people, why oh why oh WHY are you posting messages on a site centred on science fiction TELEVISION and MOVIES?

In future, try not to make radical views about society based on something you read in a religious pamphlet at an airport. Again, much apologies for ranting at you, but if you have read all of my post, you will perhaps see why. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
