Censorship, Yo

[piercehawkeye45]

I don't really have proof for this but what I've heard is that violent video games are not healthy for very young kids because they will pick up on it but once they get older it is actually a release so they will actually be less violent by playing them.

I heard potatoes have eyes but I doubt they see well underground.

It works with martial arts, if not precisely that way broken down by age. Aggression sees a full release.

There are two things you get in a martial arts dojo: the skills, and a big dose of morals. The sensei imparts both, in equal doses, or favoring the dose of morals. Every martial art worth its salt sees to it that sociopaths and brutes don't make black belt, nor teach.

Agreed.

It is obviously a choice but I think martial arts a very good thing for people and society and I highly recommend it for anyone (except sociopaths of course), when taught right. It greatly increases self-confidence and, if taught right, will increase the morality of that person, which both will help society in general greatly.

it definitely is, I know when I get overly aggravated with the woes of being a teenager, I go off and play GTA or some random shooting game on the xbox. Or even blow off steam by going running.

But censorship in America has gotten entirely out of control. I love Germany because they are allowed to say words like, 'shit', 'fuck' and have naked people on cable television. It's ridiculous, if parents don't want their kids to experience the world and give them a realistic view, then they should either home school them in a bubble and hold their hands all through out life, or not even both to procreate at all, and not even waste our time.
