But you're right, media does have a lot to do with this. It gives people ideas, it motivates people for better or for worse.
Sure I don't mind that people start thinking that pedophilia is maybe more usual than we like to admit, but I do mind that maybe some pedophile thinks that "now that people seem to take this lightly it may be OK to actually act on what I'm thinking".
You say that media doesn't make the monsters, that they are already there. So why feed them? Why give make them bigger? If we can avoid that, then let's not give them any more encouragement.
So why have others suffer for the action of one idiot ?
Now Antika, I understand you have logical in your argument and not one of the many idiots who believe reality=fantasy for that I'd have to say am impressed but like I said this is were we differ, yes there is going to be one idiot out there but banning something is not the answer, the monster was already there, it existed long before, we can argue back and front on how media plays a role but at the end of the day, the media did not put a gun to the monster's head and say "go do this and do that", the monster went out of its OWN FREE WILL, to attack another, people should stop trying to use the media as a reason for someone else evil acts, again (I can not make myself any clearer that this) what we do, we do it ourselves, not because of another force, we chose the way we do it, how we do it, we thought it out and used our own brains to do it, no one needed to put a gun to our head to do it, no one forced us too, someone who acts out there fantasy was sick enough to bring something to reality and that person knew exactly why he did it, we can not know the minds of the monster but there is one thing clear the monster was going to attack sooner or later, the same idea the monster could of gotten from a media, could of triggered from somewhere else, look at one or two religious nut jobs that killed in the name of god, are they going to blame the bible or the person ? they blame the person or they blame the entire group of religious goers, tell me, how many people were afraid of muslim after 9/11 ? paranoia bought out the discrimination, the hate crimes went up in that period, look at the building of the temple on ground zero, people went in arms and acted stupid, exactly what made them all fear and paranoid, the action of a few individuals, now are you going to tell me that should religious practices be banned because some nutjob acted out ? or is this a difference ?
