My argument doesnt have an ommision because I have not framed an arguiment.
What I am posting are my experiences in living on earth and my opinions. I am also posting selected news stories - which are not intended to illustrate my opinions. They are meant to supply information on the topic.
This isn't an argument for me. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.
Instead, this is what I'm trying to do:
Tell you that my experience has made it clear that the contents of much of contemporary film, video, music, games, etc. are psychologically desensitizing and debilitating and constitute a form of manipulation. I also state that in my experience, most humans are not able to overcome these influences to some degree, especially younger members of our society. Therefore, much mass media affect most of us in some measure of negative ways.
These are small statements. My intention is to see if anyone will admit they see some of the same issues - to whatever degree they want to state.
Of course, I see how polarizing the mere mention of this can be. Of course, I see how extremely defensive fans of popular entertainment get when I state these simple experiential observations of mine.
I'm not trying to prove anything to you. I don't make laws. I don't even vote. I'm simply stating some things I see as problems. I'm fascinated at the extent of irrelevant issues that are brought to bear and that I am somehow expected to refute - as if this was a debate.
Sorry, I'm not debating. I'm stating some things I observe. If you don't see anything in what I'm saying, that's the end of it. If you do, then we can discuss these things further.
As mentioned I do not necessarily share the points made by the articles I present. I present them because they are interesting and have some relevance to the topics at hand.
