Thread Name: BS: On Human Nature and Violent Acts
Subject: RE: BS: On Human Nature and Violent Acts
The Va. Tech shooter was known to play one of the most violent video games incessantly...his own video and image 'legacy' included poses and language similar to martial arts movies.

I am aware of how hard it is to show cause & effect, but many researcher are finding that long exposure to images of violence desensitizes one to real violence and is VERY often associated with anti-social behavior.

...and Sorcha's list, added to exposure to violence as a reaction to problems, sure is food for thought.
