While worth considering, meditations on violence in the media don't really fit into this particular forum.

BTW from Glenn - the data are very problematic. It has surface validity but the current research does not support media violence as a major factor.

A search on Google scholar can bring up the relevant issues.

Please don't conclude about things that can be easily researched.

I know it's tempting but don't.
