Our Violent, Drugged "Society" Part 2 By James Jaeger
I don't know how many times I have posted something like this post over theyears, but here I go again - reminded of the culture of violence we live inthat has produced yet three (3)
MORE killings in our nation's schools injust one (1) week! Abominable!I maintain that the endless violence and dysfunctional situations portrayedin Hollywood-based feature motion pictures since I was a kid - the 1950sand 1960s - to the present has escalated so horrendously that most kidstoday are experiencing an increasingly blurred line between what's moraland what's not. Human life, as portrayed in the movies, is little more tosome of them than protoplasm to be blown away in an action picture.
Hollywood studios, producers and writers have so inundated the culture withviolence and gun play, it's not only adulterating the kids' ethics, butrestimulating the population of the mentally insane/unstable who now wanderthe nation's streets or quietly live next door.
My father used to be a psychiatrist in charge of the violent male buildingat the Norristown State Mental Hospital. In the late 1950's there werethousands of mental cases institutionalized and under his watch. Today, ifyou visit Norristown, and I have, there are only a few hundred under care.Where are all now? Most of them are out on the streets (or living nextdoor) doped up on pharmseuticals such as Fluoxetine, Prozac or Phenobarband watching violent Hollywood movies. If you ask me, this is a recipe fordisaster, an explosive combination -- and it's no wonder we are nowexperiencing what's happening in society.
I would be very interested in seeing a medical report on the past 100school shootings to ascertain what percentage of the killers, whetheradults or children, were on pharmaceuticals when they went on theirrampage. I will bet the percentage is significant. But note the media doesn't come anywhere close to reporting on this aspect of the situation becauseso much of their advertising revenue comes from the multi-billion dollarpharmaceutical companies.
I don't know what the solution is as far as the mentally ill, but the movieindustry isn't helping the situation by endlessly exploiting violence justto make a buck. In my book this is grossly irresponsible and they should beheld accountable for some part of the culture of violence they are helpingcreate.
At this point, after some 100 school shootings and over 250 kids ruthlesslymurdered, I have to seriously question whether a parent really loves theirchild if they permit him or her to watch too much TV or movies. I will alsogo so far as to say I seriously wonder how much they love their childrenwhen they are willing to take the risk of sending them to public school, oreven private school when the home schooling alternative is available. Orlook at it this way: home schooling is the ONLY way to go, if one is too"busy" or lazy to continue to do nothing about the movie industry'sirresponsibility or the media's conflict of interest with the drugcompanies and the child-killers that use their products.

I AGREE!!!!
These same mentally insane, dysfunctional and violent individuals are the ones that convince others that it is OK to invade and occupy other peoples homes and that those who resist their violent behavior are "terrorists".
Even when this American population is on as many drugs as one can find they are still uncontrollable. What help is there? Surely having a drugged population with large bombs and jets is not the answer, as one can readily see.
Maybe it is this violent christian ideolgy of Armageddon or the greed that comes with capitalism or maybe it is simply arrogance and pride from igonrance and stupidity?
Maybe it is the unchallenged propaganda/indoctrination of the USA masses; whereby education of ethical international behavior can be taught to the violent invasion prone Americans.
Simple stuff, like like do not support dictators, do not support racist governments like Israel, do not invade and occupy other nations, do not be the worlds largest supplier of weapons, do not jail more of your population then any other country on the face of the Earth, do not brainwash your population with violent movies/propaganda 24 hours a day, do not allow drug consumption primarily the aggresive drug alcohol, do not allow 24 hour hate speech on FOX tv ect ect ect.
