my $.02
Everybody is a tiny bit effected by everything, but mostly everything I read above could have been written by someone in high school. anyhow.
everything we do makes us act certain ways, but we are intelligent and have our wn minds.
I have never seen one case, not one, where there was undeniable evidence of a song making a person commit a crime. Do you think that if a kid listened to a violent song once would honestly commit a crime?
lets look at music as the kinds I see..
there is regular pop. i can see violence in pop because i'd rather commit suicide than listen to it, but that's beside the point.
heavy metal makes me feel less violent, as it gives me ways to have an emotional vent.
rap music has never made me '187 on the undercover cop'. fuck, i like some of the older rap (not very older, but not this fucking jayzee shit) like Dre and Snoop or even Ice T. I see it like the heavy music. it's a chance to vent peacefully.
i am completely against racism. some music is racists.... if a kid were influenced don't you think he already had some aggresive idea in his/her head?
i am very tired and my points are coming out sluggishly so i'm going to cut this short.
any person with a wit of iq can listen to music and catagorize it as 'reality' or 'fantasy'. there are some people who do shit then blame music.. ever hear of a crutch? and this isn't exactly the first time somebody has blamed someone else for what he did.
when i listen to music, my mood does change. no doubt. but a sliver of will power and an iq of 2 tells me to listen to something else if needed. kind of like not listening to Beck's last cd if your already sad.
its time people start taking responsibility for one's actions instead of blaming everyone else, including music and gaming.
hell, everyday jobs make me more angry, so can ban CEOs?
