What are you waiting for?
On December 14th of last year, a young man entered an elementary school and fatally shot over two dozen people.
Twenty children died that day.
Unfortunately we all now know where Newtown, Connecticut is and our hearts pour out for them.
We've also engaged in a national, and worldwide, debate about "gun control" in the states.
This is where it gets tricky...
If you know me, you know I love my video games and action-packed movies. I've waited at midnight for the release of BORDERLANDS 2 on the XBOX360 as well as a secret screening of ZOMBIELAND.
But when I received HALO 4 for Christmas, something didn't seem right when I played it.
Do movies and video games really glorify violence?
Do they not only bring the best out of us, but the worse as well?
After the release of DJANGO UNCHAINED, I see where it brings out the worse...
Not only did this film's star Jamie Foxx joke about "killing all the white people" on SNL, but now Twitter has a bunch of moviegoers saying the same:
"Django just inspired me to go shoot some white people"
"We need a modern dy(sic) django to kill some white people"
"i wanna shoot a gun.. i wanna take self defense classes.. i wanna shoot white people.. and i wanna watch django again"
...it goes on, you can read these tweets and more HERE.
And I'm not saying video games and violent movies CREATE killers, I've already had debates with my fellow gamers and movie addicts.
I'm just saying let's stop focusing on guns, and start focusing on the culture this society is nurturing.
We can't continue to blame SOCIETY when we ARE society...
