I think it is hard watching violence even if it is acting when there is so much real pain in the world.

I know it's not "real" but I'm not sure our hearts and minds know the difference. It's like when the kids watch ads and everyone says "oh, they know the difference..." My oldest daughter only watched Sesame Street forever and when she saw her first show with ads she was very confused and thought they were shows....<br /><br />I think we get attached emotionally in stories as well as life and the violence, sadness, joy, whatever all feel really real in that moment...<br /><br />There's enough icky stuff in the world right now...I don't need to disturb myself any more than I am already disturbed. I can't even watch the Haiti coverage without getting really agitated because other than donating I can't really do anything to ease anyone's pain...Mary Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987381109911597964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36936171259835220.post-28235916534220344122010-01-21T14:06:50.043-06:002010-01-21T14:06:50.043-06:00Thank you!

What really turns me off are all the "Reality" shows that are so edited, contrived and orchestrated as to totally deceive the viewer. <br />The producers of those shows take people who are exhibitionists and exploit them shamelessly.Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36936171259835220.post-85464744729630860892010-01-21T12:26:26.408-06:002010-01-21T12:26:26.408-06:00Promoting brutality is cruel and senseless.

But some screenwriter came up with the idea, some network said it's an idea that will make money, and some people will see it and emulate the behavior as a way to solve their problems.
