| Quite frankly if your child has grown up thinking that
just because he/she sees something bad on TV it's ok to mimic it, that says
something about his/her upbringing. It's innate behaviour for children to mimic.
It's how they learn to talk, walk and help themselves, but just like how their
physical development needs to be supplemented by parents, their mental
development needs to be nurtured too. THIS! is the difference between
law-abiding people and criminals. THIS! is the root cause for violence and other
such behaviour. THIS! is where the blame should be placed, NOT on The Matrix!
Parents need to realize that they have the right to be involved in their
kids lives. They have the right to say no. All the arguements and silent
treatments won't go in vain if you just stick with them until they're mature
enough to handle their own lives.
Another thing that absolutely disgusts me
is the "women as sex objects" crap. For those of you who aren't familiar with
this, it refers to the portrayal of women (in laymans terms), as being nothing
but pretty and sexual beings. Yes, Xena is scantily clad. Yes, Supergirl shows a
lot of leg, but that doesn't mean diddly squat. Women are always complaining
about the world being male dominated, but the men don't look at Xena solely in a
sexual way. The whole idea behind the show was to promote girl power and be a
spin off of the hit series Hercules. She's a heroine and a damn good one. Why
can't these women grasp the concept? It's almost as if they want to have their
cake and eat it too. They use sex to control men whether want to admit it or not
and yet they don't want to be portrayed that way. The fact is, the basis for the
media is the way of life in our societies, so if they see an overwhelming demand
for things such as Wonder Bras, breast enhancers, thong underwear etc...Then
there's no reason to be surprised about the way we're portrayed. Women be proud
of your sexuality and please CALM DOWN
