Lt Col David Grossman www.killogy.com has been saying for YEARS that TV violence is
training our kids to kill. That the military use similar training techniques to train troops.

Funny, when I was a tyke, I learned that killing bad guys and evildoers was a pretty
good thing after watching too many episodes of "Bonanza" and the like.

Despite living in a house with two shotguns and a rifle, I never even considered
shooting anyone.

I guess the problem today is that the kids get a lot trashier kind of violence and moral
consequence is not tied to the use of force.

I too grew up in such a house hold with guns. Rifleman, Rin Tin Tin, Man from Uncle, Paladin, Roy Rogers, John Wayne movies, etc. I love westerns when they are of that generation. Today's movies are just one violent scene after another, with NO or little consequences for the bad guy.

My boys watched the same type things I did. They like those violent movies. THey are not violent kids. MMMM must be cause I taught them MORALS.
