The same can be said about the movies I watch. If it's not violent and have naked chics in it I'm generally bot interested.
I think this article is either complete crap or people are weak mindless sheep. I'm leaning towards weak mindless sheep!

Sixate speaks for me yet again. I grew up in a fucked up household, and I got my ass beat plenty in school since I was the smallest kid in class. On top of that, I love violent movies and especially violent music. Before I go ride my bike, I usually crank up Korn or something else to get me in that aggressive mindset, and I usually take some music with me to the gym, too.
The real problem isn't the violence in the lyrics, but the lack of self-control so many people have. I have to get hit by someone twice before I'll hit back because I don't like fighting (although, you better watch yourself if you
do hit me twice!). I'm incredibly laid back, even when I have that music going through my head, because I can differentiate between violent lyrics and the need to be violent for a reason, i.e. to defend my life or someone else's.
That's a good article,
Art, but I think more time needs to be spent figuring out why some people can handle their emotions while others can't, even when they come from similar backgrounds.
