Saying that there are chemicals in our food that increases our violent impulses makes more sense than saying television leads to violence. Television just makes people lazy. Questioning morals and previously held beliefs is what has made some people more violent. They've questioned it to the part where they no longer care.

Not that you know of, of course. But there are plenty of products that most people eat today that are causing an overgrowth of estrogen in most men today.

Either way, whether it exists today or not is irrelevant. The point is, saying there are chemicals in the food that would cause that makes more sense than saying television would cause it. At least there are drugs that do cause people to act that way.

Smh. You were doing so good! You admitted to the fact that certain drugs and certain chemicals can turn a person violent.

Now you turn around and claim that violence on television makes more sense. When it doesn't. Like, yes, because seeing a bunch of people being abused on television would definitely increase my chances of becoming violent. It's way more likely that would happen than some drugs damaging my brain and causing me to become violent.

Saying chemicals in food makes more sense than TV IS correct. At least there are chemicals that impair the brain's judgment, which can increase violence. There are no television shows whatsoever that can increase how violent a person is.

Are you a troll? Seriously. You were doing so good. But I guess once you realized you were actually agreeing with me, you had to go against the facts.

I didn't say that our current food supply has chemicals in it that would make us violent. I simply said it would make more sense TO say that food supply would make people more violent (since there are chemicals and drugs that can actually do that) than it would to say that television makes people more violent (since there are no television shows that make people violent).

Nah, I don't think you're a troll. I think you just dislike me for whatever reason and you constantly try to argue with me.

No. Television programming tends to follow what is happening in society instead of the other way around.

No. Violent people are the leading cause of violence in our society. A gun by itself is an inanimate object, a knife is just a piece of steel, but they both become tools of mayhem when wielded by people intent on destruction.
