Thanks to you, impeachment will be heard Friday
We all know impeachment isn't going to happen but at least the "allegations" will be formally put on account. Thank you Congressman Kucinich!

Because concerning the subconscious, it is reality-debasing violence. Cutting without blood, physical damage without pain, violence consistent enough to be considered a main plot gimmick; All done in the guise of charming and playful action in a media form that is primarily considered for kids(and trusted by kids.) Like child-targeted commercials and all subliminal media, it's not that I have a problem with the content but rather the way it is relayed. Questioning the subconscious impact of media is a skill that children have not yet developed.

Curious to hear why in your book Tom and Jerry is R. I can understand why Saving Private Ryan is PG-13 though...

Coming from a gamer :
I would rather see the kid playing counterstrike instead of team fortress 2.
I would rather see the kid playing a game with realistic violence with realistic consequences(screams, blood, death) than playing a cartoonish parody of violence which whitewashes nearly all consequences of the act.
I would rather see the kid watching Saving Private Ryan(rating PG-13 in my book) instead of Tom and Jerry(rating R in my book.)

I think most childhood violence happens due to the 'acceptable'(aka unreal) violence in our daily media consumption. It subconsciously debases all reality of the act. I ask you, are parents who slaughter an animal on the family farm worse human beings because the child now has an understanding of death? I hope you realize 'no.'

I know most parents want to hold onto their child's innocence as long as they can, but that's their style of parenting. It takes all kinds, right?
