The violence on the television touches
A raw nerve whenever I see it
People engaged in senseless killing
Maiming and being physically violent
Why? I ask myself is this need
To show us shows full of hate and discontent
Even when they beat up a rubber dummy
It still evokes feelings of unrest in my mind
I wish they would just shut this stream of savagery
We all should start a campaign to
Persuade these people to stop this brutality
And instead, show us something based on
Human kindness, gentleness, and generosity
Something that restores our trust
In the goodness of mankind

I second these thoughts, too much violence everywhere I look on television yes, but also in books, magazines, on computer screens and in music. It can be overwhelming, if you let it be.

I think the worst part is that it is hyper realistic…it deadens our sensitivity to it and violence becomes no big deal any more. Plus parent need to teach kid there is pain with every act of violence, not the rewards they get in video games for it.
