Saw a question about cartoons so I thought I'd throw this one in...
My generation grew up with the most violent cartoons known to Man...those old Road Runner/Wyle E. Coyote cartoons. Every Saturday morning, I watched these and NOT ONCE did I ever hand someone an anvil if they were going to fall off a hill. NOT ONCE did I ever paint a tunnel on the side of a mountain and hope a car tried to drive through it. NOT ONCE did I ever strap a firecracker to my back and try to fly.
What are y'all's thoughts?

Negative, a complete lack of parenting is causing the violence in today's society.

We live in a society of no personal responsibility. The argument of violent shows making people more violent doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Japanese cartoons are a hundred times more violent than ours but violent crimes barely exist there.

To be fair, unlike the US, Japanese don't necessarily consider animation to be only for kids. They merely see it as another medium for telling a story. So yes, while they have very violent and sexually graphic "cartoons," those particular genres aren't intended for children's consumption.

For any and all that post, and have posted...
I don't agree that its the cartoons, movies, music, etc. Although, some of today's music tends to piss me off.
I believe that the parents of today are to blame. Parents don't discipline their kids anymore. They put them on drugs to "calm them down".
There's my two crowns...I'll get off my soap box now. Charlie Daniels, I ain't
