| qu1j0t3 | what's that got to do with what I said? | Dec 28 18:15 |
| qu1j0t3 | 1) i didn't say i didn't like it | Dec 28 18:15 |
| qu1j0t3 | ripping out those things which contribute to the problem can help it go away | Dec 28 18:15 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's an artificial, manufactured problem | Dec 28 18:15 |
| MinceR | i think the apperance of violence in media and art is one of the things that contribute the least to it | Dec 28 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | ...like this fucking css i'm working on | Dec 28 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | hollywood isn't art. | Dec 28 18:16 |
| MinceR | sticking your head in the sand doesn't make problems go away | Dec 28 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | and violence in media is 24/7 | Dec 28 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | sticking my head in the sand? | Dec 28 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | how am I doing that? I'm sticking my head OUT by fingering Hollywood as a manufacturer of social problems. | Dec 28 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | note: I am not blaming Cinema. I'm talking about Hollywood. a machine made for a purpose. | Dec 28 18:17 |
| qu1j0t3 | and the rest of the media is the same | Dec 28 18:17 |
| qu1j0t3 | and if you don't see the social effects, well, maybe you don't live in North America :) | Dec 28 18:18 |
| qu1j0t3 | which is a fuckin disaster | Dec 28 18:18 |
| qu1j0t3 | a manufactured disaster | Dec 28 18:18 |
| MinceR | Hollywood does not manufacture these problems | Dec 28 18:20 |
| MinceR | next you're going to tell me that news agencies manufacture wars and crime | Dec 28 18:21 |
| abeNd-org | so you are saying just hollywood is the problem? | Dec 28 18:54 |
| abeNd-org | bollywood doesnt make violent movies? japanese/korean movie companies only make happy movies? | Dec 28 18:54 |
| MinceR | or perhaps they're hip enough to be excused for violence in their works :> | Dec 28 18:55 |
| abeNd-org | perhaps so | Dec 28 18:56 |
| abeNd-org | Hollywood is pretty much just ripping off everything Japanese these days, especially with horror movies | Dec 28 18:56 |
| MinceR | no, they're doing other things as well, for example remaking their older movies | Dec 28 18:57 |
| MinceR | and making movie adaptations of comic books | Dec 28 18:57 |
| abeNd-org | and of course the grimm fairytales are just oh so happy | Dec 28 18:57 |
| abeNd-org | mincer i figure they should run completely out of books/comic books/remakes by summer 2014, should be interesting to see what they try to do then, perhaps they will pull a lucasfilms & just rerelease the same movie with updated graphics | Dec 28 18:58 |
| MinceR | :) | Dec 28 18:58 |
| MinceR | well, novels and comics continue being written | Dec 28 18:58 |
| MinceR | and there's a lot of material on the web as well | Dec 28 18:58 |
| abeNd-org | yes, they could make a whole movie in second life about furries | Dec 28 18:59 |

| MinceR | that page still hasn't loaded | Dec 28 22:36 |
| MinceR | finally it did | Dec 28 22:36 |
| MinceR | so, do you prefer murders with knives, bludgeons, poison and bare hands? | Dec 28 22:37 |
| MinceR | and i guess i don't need to mention that comparing countries by number of murders is kind of stupid | Dec 28 22:39 |
