Movie Violence: Symptom of Society's Nature, Or A Cause of Further Bloodshed

[Alex]

I do believe that a company bringing out a computer game where you play someone shooting up a school is at best a pretty cynical attempt to just make money from controversy. At worst... well I'd struggle to find the words to describe how disgusting I find this.

As I said before I don't think something like this would cause a shooter, although it might serve as an inspiration. If you can mod your own levels I guess you could even use it to help plan things.

I wanted to make sure you saw it.

Well, I've seen the link but not watched it. When I saw the first link for it I thought "This looks like it could be interesting, I'll come back and watch it later." By the time I'd saw the link for the third or fourth time I was thinking "Meh, whatever!" and lost interest in it.

That's not honest.  That's reactionary.  There are dozens of posts to slog through... NOT.  
There's no real action on this website.  The video is 44 seconds long.  It probably took more time to write your response than it would have to look at the thing.  I think it's obvious that I posted this around because I wanted everyone to see it.  It's historic.

My point was it doesn't matter the length of it, I just found it being posted repeatidly put me off watching it and I guess counter productive to what you intended, even though it was the kind of thing I'd normally enjoy watching. It just made me think "Oh ffs, not this exact same post again". You want to consider that to be reactionary or anything else, well that's your choice. No matter how few (or many for that matter) posts are made on a website, doing the exact same one over and over isn't really my idea of action.

I also wouldn't agree that posting it multiple times made it obvious you wanted everyone to see it, my first thought was to assume you were drunk and while inebriated decided it was a good idea to post it several times.

You and I don't have to have a problem, so don't get insulting.  Oh, and blah blah blah.   

[Alex]

There is no insults in my post.

Oh you are argumentative.

That's an insult, Einstein.

Only if you choose to interprete it that way. To me it is simply a statement of fact, it is what I thought when I kept seeing the same thing posted again and again.

Y'mean like you complaining again and again? 

[Alex]

If you like, sure. Feel free to look at it that way.

To watch a YouTube video right now I'd have to 1) Exit the browser, 2) Go to settings, 3) Turn on Jscript, 4) Reload the page, & 5) go to YouTube, since I don't have Flash on my phone. Before that I can't even see a video to know if it's the same one or if it's 44 seconds long. And it takes up a lot of bandwidth & I can't watch it while everyone else is watching TV, like now.

So, yeah, for some folks watching a video is a "wait til later" activity. :)
