Yeah, you showed Seth McFarlane! I'm sure he's scared now because a kid on the Internet is giving him an empty threat!

Really, what are you going to do to him? Also if you don't want to see Tom & Jerry get hurt, don't watch that show considering violence is the only thing it has to offer.

And it's already been stressed but IT'S A JOKE ABOUT VIOLENCE TOWARDS AN ANIMATED FREAKING RABBIT!
You know, you don't have to be so rude.

Now you're going to make fun of me and go like OH YOUR STICKING UP FOR HIM?

That is going to hurt my feelings soooo much.

Thanks for being so nice.

I didn't figure it out when I was little about the Bugs Bunny thing, I found that out about a week ago.

When one stares into this blank image, one can quickly conclude that it is a harmless image, and that, after all, something as simplistic as a blank screen cannot possibly affect one's emotions.

However, as an esteemed art critic, I would like to take it upon myself to give this piece a fair judgment. When one looks upon this in a critical perspective, one can truly see the intent of the artist who painted this.

Often times blank screens are interpreted as errors, or mistakes. This represents how common a painting is misinterpreted, and how diverse some of the interpretations are. Some people may interpret it as a joke. Others, such as I, believe it is a metaphor in itself about something so much deeper.

When one stares into the blank canvas, one can envision a heartless, corporate utopia. Notice how white is the only color, and how no other color is present. This may represent a corporate utopia unwelcome to change, forcing its workers to repeat the same dried routine that guaranteed them success many times before in the past.

The most beautiful part about this is how subtle and well-hidden the above intent was hidden.

Just want to say a bit in defense of the majority of people.
I play games that could be considered "violent." TF2 mostly, and our school has LAN parties. That does not make me think that going on a murdering spree is "cool." That does not mean that I plan to go sign up for the Army to go kill some people. That does mean I am not sympathetic to people murdered. I also balance my gaming with Minecraft and Portal, challenging and satisfying in their own way.

Media can affect some, but as said in the other posts, usually the person would be messed up anyway. Also, anyone who thinks that they can measure maturity by age is a downright fool. Unfortunately people can convince others to support it (because "think of the children!") and it isn't really practical to restrict content a different way.

Your original paragraph is completely idiotic.

There's absolutely no proof for it and the idea is absurd that we will suddenly just burst at one dangerous idea.

Also, I zoned out at "I'm unaffected . . ."

I zoned out at 'Christian sense'. The reason I zoned out at normal is what's defined as normal? Wouldn't the world be boring if everyone was the same? And that's what normal is. Monotony.

Idiotic isn't necessarily the nicest word, besides, how do you know? There could be one remarkably stupid idea that you want to try, and boom. How is that theory idiotic? You couldn't possibly tell me that you've never had a bad idea, you've probably had several. And looking at these bad ideas you've had, surely at least one came from some form of media. Keep trying to denounce me, I'll come back with more! And stop zoning out!

What would you prefer? Typical? I'm not talking about exact copies, I'm talking about averages. Averages are what define "normal". not always the best interpretation, but you work with what you got. And I knew you'd never get past Christian sense, because you're probably not a Christian, therefore, I knew what I was talking about when I said you wouldn't understand.

You shouldn't want to be typical, average, ordinary, or anything similar.

Most people do. I don't but I have a...different type of personality. A rare one, in fact. Regardless of how you are branded, ordinary, average, anything, you are still unique. Similarities in people are necessary for certain things, such as acceptance, relationships, ect. It's normal to want acceptance, but if you aren't "normal" you may be rejected. Sad story of modern society. Anyway, what's considered "normal" now, is a little bit disturbing, and the media had a huge hand in that. I go by a different definition of normal than them though. So I'm sorry if you think it's bad, but I'm probably thinking of a different "normal" than you.

I didn't figure it out when I was little about the Bugs Bunny thing, I found that out about a week ago.

That's even more hilarious.

Still doesn't change that there is no way you could do anything to Seth MacFarlane. I don't work at Family Guy, but if I did I would get him to show Tom & Jerry getting hurt for the sake of calling your bluff. Tell me, how exactly would he pay? Well... it's highly unlikely you know where he lives and he's a grown man while you're a child. So explain to me what you could do to him.

Also, you are threatening violence against Seth MacFarlane, a while you are against violence against animated rabbits. So animated rabbits have a priority over humans in your eyes.

Calm down
People say 'you'll pay for that one' and whatever without actually meaning anything, you know

sonicfan12p assumed jukyter wasnt christian and i was asking him about it because if you assume only christians can have good opinions then youve got a problem

To prove sonicfan wrong or whatever, I'm Christian and disagree with him.

Also, another example of media affecting kids. Back in April 1999, the Columbine High School massacre. One of the two guys who perpetrated the massacre (Eric Harris) was an avid player of DOOM.

I don't know if Doom really caused Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to go on a mass murder rampage, but it may have. Plus, they were already psychos and had their own inner demons from the beginning.

Actually, they were picked on a lot for years and finally went psycho, causing them to seek vengeance (according to this really jacked up video we saw on bullying in the middle of the year)

While DOOM did allow a place where they could simulate their school's interior, it was not the leading factor in causing the shooting.
