Discusting Tv

[teacake44]

I don't normally bother watching films on TV any longer, its pretty obvious that producers have one goal in mind, to cram as much violence in as possible in the hope of capturing an audience.

In view of what's been happening in the news over the last few weeks, out of curiosity I watched what I knew would be a violent film, ( Dog Eat Dog ) Nicolas Cage, and it didn't disappoint as regards to the appalling violence at the very beginning, of a knife stabbing frenzy, along with a shooting, and the violence continued throughout the whole film.

The other film also I watched was ( The November man ) Pierce Bronson, again relied on knife stabbing, and continued violence. Is it a case of, you make your own bed, so sleep in it?
Also I think that Mary Whitehouse back in 1963/64 was very advanced in her thoughts, and condemned / opposing such violence on TV. These films are not doing us any favours getting violence into the minds of already unbalanced individuals, are they?? Your thoughts would be welcome.

Eh?

teacake - I think your concern is absolutely legitimate, but I repeat, getting angry with people who question your somewhat excitable views and opinions about the situation and possible solutions, is really not going to win the argument.

I'll go and talk to my teenage Grandsons.

Silence is the best response to fools. eh

You may have just killed this thread with that observation!!

[teacake44]

ah, I see a long list of your excitable views.

Teacake .
A B.A. well awarded IMO. Someone who writes sense and his opinions are shared from the heart (david small). Too many fools protecting their virtual signalling credentials and admiring the Emperors clothes.
I left your OP as soon as new arrivals joined as requested. Wouldn't want to upset the TT Taliban would I? :-)

//Silence is the best response to fools. eh//
Well its often the best response when you haven't got anything to substantiate your claims I guess!
SMH!

What's 'the TT Taliban'?

[andy-hughes]

Teacake - // ah, I see a long list of your excitable views. //

If that is addressed to me, I have no idea what it means.

[teacake44]

Got ya retrocop !! going to leave the post as it is now, and let the fools play with themselves :)

Because people disagree with you does not automatically make them fools - it just makes them people with a different point of view.

From the OP
//Your thoughts would be welcome//
Aparrently not....

//Your thoughts would be welcome//

Of course they were, nailit. As long as they agree with OP.

Ah! My bad Tony, missed that...

I don't think that teacake was referring to what middle-aged men get up to behind closed doors. More like the lasting impression that some violent films and porn are leaving on young impressionable minds. Get real and face up to the facts. Some of you are probably good parents and are bringing your kids up the right way but don't forget there are a lot of parents that don't give a damn as to what their kids are up to.

How has this come round to young people yet again? Violent, raping unbalanced nut jobs come in all ages, all colours and follow all sorts of religions.

More common sense .

Yes, bad parents are the biggest problem. Children see violence at home, it seems normal and they don't learn how to react normally. First sensible thing you have said :-)

[andy-hughes]

retrocop - I remain curious - what is 'the TT Taliban' please?
