Their story about the whole German women forced into prostitution to keep their unemployment benefits crap.

I don’t think it’s good for kids to watch violence, but I think there’s a lot more to the picture than that one factor.

Yeah! Like sex. My kids don’t need to know anything about that. When the time comes, I’ve taught them to undergo spontaneous fission.

S-N — What were you complaining about to Unfocused on the Fambly?

And all in unison, all my old college professors pat themselves on the back.

He even discussed a study that sounds very much like the study quoted here. I may be wrong, but the actual conclusion of the study was that kids who already showed signs of violent behavious (ie bullying, aggressions, etc) were the ones more likely to be violent at age 30 after being exposed to violent television. The “normal”
kids, or those who were not violent before, were NOT more violent after watching violence on television, and in some cases seemed LESS so at age 30.

So there is also a good chance that they are misreading the study (or TV Guide is). Another study which gets misinterpreted had kids watching TV violence and then beating on one of those “Bop-it” inflatable dolls. This was originally taken to say “tv makes kids voilent”. What people eventually realized is the whole point of a Bop-it doll is to get hit and therefore kids hitting it had little to do with the TV and more to do with the purpose the toy was meant for.
