386: Are You Surrounded by Murderers, Thieves and Philanderers?

Jul 25, 2017

“The worst thing about this modern world is that people think you get killed on television with zero pain and zero blood,” he says. “It must enter into kids`s heads that it´s not very messy to kill somebody, and it doesn`t hurt that much. That`s a real sickness to me. That`s a real sick thing.” - David Lynch

Question of the Day:

Do you watch violent movies?  When you do, does the violence disturb you or act as a release for you, a catharsis.  Or are you numb to it?

What was the last movie you saw that depicted the brutality of violence without graphically depicting it?

At what age do you think children should be exposed to violent images?  With that said, if you have children, do you watch violent shows when they are present?

Action of the Day:

Watch any movie, that is void of violence and ask yourself how you feel.  If it is in keeping with your values, watch a movie that is violent and ask yourself how you feel
