I fapped, then I resented my life.

Typical day.

I really can’t get passed that.

They disband, get absorbed into other companies and reband all the time. This kinda stuff doesn’t just die.

Thanks for more or less clearing that up people! Now I can work my way up to a climax easier when fapping.

It’s so hard to find good trollers.

Which? The “does TV make children evil” argument?

Since TV was invented, I think. Or since kids started watching it.

Whenever a new media is created, the reactionary members of the old generation will think that's it's bound to cause the downfall of society, and selection bias will "prove" them right. TV makes children evil. Children will copy the violence they see on TV. Rock music will turn them into Satanists. Children will copy the violence they see on VHS cassettes of Hollywood films. Children will copy the violence they see in video games. The internet and social networking will turn them into prey for paedophiles and encourage them to break Cho's high score.

These moral panics have been going on for decades. They're wrong each time, but each time the people behind them are convinced that the new thing is special and that this really will be the downfall of society. It's like people who believe every rumour about a FF7 remake even when they've been proven wrong 9001 times. They always believe the latest rumour is special: this time it's true. Of course they get proven wrong again, but that doesn't stop them believing the next one.

I see a lot of truth in that this cycle of shunning things people don’t care to understand is continuing to be voiced throughout the generations. On a whole, it makes no sense why this continues to happen with whatever new fad is deemed evil because all the little parts of their argument had little grounding to start with. Moreover, each time it seems that the big picture is shrugged off because the problem is too difficult to deal with on a macro scale anyway. I think most people agree on this one the problem is negligence on the parents’ part.
