why is the black family in shambles?Foo wrote:
Why do inner city blacks shoot each other at a high rate? Could it be because the black family is in shambles and loving parents are replaced with violent rap culture?
also, how many school shooters are black? if we are going to narrow this to one race or another, i want to make sure we're justified in doing that.
Re: Exploiting tragedy
otherwise? how about "if you are a happy and healthy person" period? you don't even have to be happy, necessarily.Foo wrote:As for violence in media, including video games and movies, it is a factor in desensitizing. If you are otherwise a happy and healthy person, you can handle it. Sadly, more and more cannot.
Dealing with the public for 25 years now, you see the changes and the broad array of issues.

School shooters are not black because violent black people are gang bangers, and do not have the strong emotional connection with schools.
You know what the profile is for a school shooter?
- mainly white
- a disproportionately large number are first or 2nd generation immigrants
- have been on happy pills
Re: Exploiting tragedy
Let me show a difference among our community. Many of us have a healthy relationship with horror. I tend to see the black comedy in much of it and empathize with the victim. I am also a docile person who does not fantasize about harming people.
Do you get the sense someone like Lucian saw it that way? Laz? etc.

liberals did not force the black family onto welfare. what was the reason that they turned to welfare? what circumstances enticed (or forced) them into it?Foo wrote:Liberals destroyed the black family with welfare.zombie wrote:why is the black family in shambles?Foo wrote:

why are whites the majority?
legal or illegal immigrants? first or second generation from where?
how did the prescription of "happy pills" start? why did it start?

Re: Exploiting tragedy
Again, when has that ever not been the case? People have always hired each other for their labor and skills, and have been valued in the community as such. When has the lazy fuck ever been viewed in the same regard as the community's doctor or problem solver? Even in primitive times, intelligence and skills, and the ability to get things done were viewed as valuable commodities. Those folks were taken care of and protected while the village idiots were expendable cannon fodder.zombie wrote:valuing people for their work is not the same as treating someone like they owe you their work, like they are only worth what they can do for you.Foo wrote:Is that new?

Re: Exploiting tragedy
Not everyone reacts the same way to stimulus. I have also basically stepped away from the stimulus for years now, so you can look at that as evidence of my relationship with it.zombie wrote:if it was really the fault of the movies, and not of the person, then wouldn't you and i not have a "healthy relationship with horror" as well?Foo wrote:Let me show a difference among our community.

i'm not sure if dumping horror counts as a healthy relationship.

If you are watching knee replacement surgeries on youtube because you are a medical student and want to learn, it is a lot different than sniffing glue and jerking off to it.
I watched horror movies with my grandparents and family as a young child. There were limits and things were put into perspective.
