The Wussification of Boys

[paladin420]

Huummm?

@longearedfriend? Your definition of sanity and mine are different I think.

And conformist? What do you wish upon the people like yourself who just watched this build and happen?

Did you catch my post about cryin bullies?
7th grade rural kid gets moved to Detroit. Fifth day catches a bullie Tryin to shove another kids head in a nasty toilet. Five minutes later he was no longer the school bully. What would you hav done? Ran to a teacher.. Again. Or turned around an left ?

Ran to a teacher? I used to frequent a pretty messed up school.

The teachers, principal and the staff were bullies themselves.
Hell, the principal was some ex military general with a bigger mouth than brain.

There's nothing i could've done about it except maybe kick their asses myself but, i would've ended up in the same situation as the other kid.

good thing for the kid on his knees I never stopped to think about it then.
Now that I'm older I'm aware that the bully (bullies) was/were also a victim/s. But I really don't care.
I was told I was the man of the house when I was 7-8 years old. I took that job very seriously.

This quote (paraphrased from a internet chat room) emphasizes the common misperception that many video game players and parents of these players have towards the effects that violent video games have on aggressive behavior: “I see violent media daily and I do not want to kill anybody. Therefore, violent video games don't affect me.” The question of whether violent video game play is related to negative behavioral consequences (i.e., aggression) is not new, nor are the attempts by the scientific community to communicate these findings to public policy makers. ​

However, rarely does effective public policy concerning media violence get implemented. To support this claim, consider the following questions:​

1. Does the scientific literature continually show strong relationships between
violent media and aggressive thoughts, aggressive feelings, and aggressive
behaviors? – Yes (see Anderson, 2004; Kirsh, 2006).​

2. Have the leading media violence experts testified before their governing body
stating that violent media increases the probability of aggression in consumers? -
Yes (see Anderson, Berkowitz, Donnerstein, Huesmann, Johnson, Linz,
Malamuth, & Wartella, 2003).​

3. Are children still consuming violent mass media regularly? – Yes (see
Anderson, Gentile, & Buckley, 2007).​

4. Are there effective policies in the United States that minimize the
consumption of violent media by children of certain ages (e.g., under 15 years
old)? –No (see Anderson & Gentile, 2008).​

Thus, scientific research has found evidence to suggest that violent media consumption, including violent video games, increases the probability of thinking, feeling, and
behaving aggressively in children and adults. These findings have been explicitly communicated to public policy makers. However, children still get a steady diet of violent media. Why is there such a huge disconnection between the scientific evidence of harm and public policy?​

BTW Altered Beast was pretty fun on Genesis... but had nothing on Wonder Boy 1,2,3 on Sega Master System...​

Your view on kids from the hood not having enough money to get internet access and game consoles is way off man... I can tell your from the suburbs...​

You comparing video games from the era of Tecmo Bowl to todays games are weird.... You never played Duck Hunt or Gyromite? ​

Compared to Call of Duty and other first person shooter games... ​

I remember getting free Night Vision Goggles with my purchase of an older version of Call of Duty... ​

In the old school era I got a Robot on named Rob that looked like Johnny 5 from short Circuit ... if you cant see my point...then you cant relate ​

You clearly don't understand the makings of inner-city America. If you seriously think that video games are causing the crime problems in inner-city America, you clearly don't see the underlying cause of problems. You realize that, in inner-city America, there isn't enough wealth to be spread for video games, violent or not, right?

Lemme tell you a story about this kid i used to go to school with.
The guy was fat, shy and wore glasses.

He wasn't popular at all.
In fact, he used to spend most of his time completely alone and of course, everyone picked on him.
Some threw food at him, others would beat him up, insulted him or make up rumors about the guy.

One day, i guess he had enough of it all, brought a gun to school, walked to the cool kid's table and killed every single one of them before killing himself.

Of course, the media ended up picturing the victim as a monster and the bullies as angels.
But the fact of the matter is, those people deserved to die and the monster was actually the sanest person here.

So now you tough guys tell me, is bullying truly a necessary evil?
If you still think it is, i hope you and your family end up the same way those "angels" did.

Somehow i think that those that "support" bullying are old bullies that are lying to themselves because they cant admit to themselves that they are monsters.

What is a person that takes pleasure from the pain and humiliation of others?

Well, you could call them two things.

Twisted animal

monster.

Course you could call them a lot of other things, now that i think about it.

Crap.

Waste of space.

Something that deserves a beating. (luckily most bullies are crap at actual fighting.)

Some of them could use a bullet.

And i could go on, for a few pages actually.

old f*ckers arent supposed to understand youth culture, thats kind of the point.

just the same as old fuckers in the 60's thought that the boys with long hair were 'queer'

the old fuckers think its correct for all girls toys to be pink disney fairy princess and all boys toys to be monster fucking trucks, firemen etc. perhaps they should drop the gender stereotypes and let the kids express themselves.

they might even learn something

you forgot to mention guns for boys toys VG, boys gotta have some guns.

and so what's your point?

 

[VerdantGreen]

yes, guns for boys.

my point is that gender stereotypes suck. boys dont have to be macho bullies, girls should be aspiring to something more worthwhile than shallow glamor.

Watch out, you might get shot 15 times standing in your driveway against your car if you seem too thuggish. Its part of the new police program. Shoot first then ask questions.

Or what about the 20 year old in Atlantic city who got mauled by cops and a police dog, then was charged with assault while handcuffed on the ground being bitten in the neck by a dog and being kicked by a whole gang of officers crowding around him.


As the late Big L would have said;

"I stomp white cops til they life stops"

I was at the farmers market this weekend and 2 fuzz were walking around handing out stickers to kids that were police badge stickers. Watched this one little kid straight turn them down and give them the "am I in trouble look". it was excellent. whats not excellent is that tax payers are paying these wankers to walk around at a farmers market and give stickers to kids. what a joke. police are "accidently" shooting people dead and purposefully shooting citizens dogs in my neck of the woods. I have no respect for any leo anymore, if the so called "good" cops had any respect for humanity/life/law they wouldn't allow their leo brethren to kill at will and go backwards to cover it up and make it look justified somehow.

I believe that is referred to as a "hot lunch".


You truly are 1TWISTEDTRUCKER!!

Try to have a sense of humor about these things.

Well i could not give a damn about it, its your chest and time, aside from a bit of curiosity.

How the fuck did that shit start?


IT´S story time. (bring the popcorn kids. not often we get a genuine shitophile at our disposal.)

On second thought i will judge you for saying shit like that and then not giving me a story time. (uncensored.)

 

[dddaver]

Bwahaha. Good one jellyman.

What's that smell? Smells like teen spirit to me. I personally like that smell....and taste too, kinda musky and fishy and tart. Yummo. Much better than a Cleveland steamer anyway.


PS, I know you're joking about liking Hot Lunch's....I hope anyway. But to each their own I suppose.

 

[longearedfriend]

lol

 

[ydijadoit]

I take shit, and I give people shit. I do not, however like shit, as an article of clothing, a food source, a fashion accessory, or a cologne.
I am a fecalphiliac, I suppose. Allergic to poo, in any form.
If that makes me a wussified boy, I'll wear the badge with honor. Long before I'd wear the warm soft serve as a chest medallion...
Just "Giving shit". I have found this thread timely, funny, sad, and educational, all at once.
Regards

 

[dddaver]

Uh, I hate explaining jokes. Mine might be taken out of context I think. I do not prefer dining on shit.

I was referring to that funny picture of Nirvana. By smelling teen spirit I was referring to smelling pussy, which after I thought about it some is more tangy than tart to me. Rather more like ....poon-tangy actually. I guess that makes me a puss...wuss eater? Damn, God made me like that man, can't help it. Forgive this sinner....Don't judge me!
