Media is corrupting this world...if there were a virus, I'm sure it wouldn't be a zombie transforming virus, but rather, something that can corrupt things, and break them down, multiply on our cells, gain our knowledge...Maybe a little far fetched...

What if aliens do exist, and they are just waiting for Chuck Norris to die...

I just registered to say that you're fucking retarded. Kthnxdie.

What part was weird? The Chuck Norris part? That was a joke...
I was saying that media is killing off reality, and making, this very grotesque way of viewing life, eventually, nothing but sci-fi houses, curfew, guards, etc...

Everything. Also, why haven't you cut yet? You really should, seeing as you're still acting incredibly retarded and nothing you're saying makes sense.

It does make sense...

Media gives us an impression of a "perfect" life that's not real.
We go out, act like these people we see on tv, do things we see, repeat things we do.
Eventually, giving us a virtual reality, mixing in with movies and tv making it even worse.
Killing be comes a fact, guerrillas, rebels, guns, violence. End of World.
(Or at least a post apocalypse)

No, it makes no sense.
You're overestimating the influence the media has on people's thoughts and actions. People don't go around imitating Dr. House or Tony Soprano.

I've seen my fair share...
And Dr. House? He's just an ass, but he saves people.

The influence media has on people's thoughts is how much they believe, mainly, the news.
I've never seen the Soprano's, well, only once, and less than half an episode. It kind of sucked...  :=:

Media plays a huge factor in almost everything. Food even.
Most people don't go see something like Scar Face and go out and kill a bunch of people, but there are sick people in this world, stupid people, who want to try it.

Movies don't turn people into murderers. It'd be great if you supplied evidence to the contrary, however.
Also, I was just pulling random characters out of my ass- I don't watch much TV, and I'm not  a House fan nor have I seen the Sopranos. But it'd be obvious if people were tying to mimic TV characters, and they don't. They mimic their peers and mentors.

OPPS!
Sorry, (bout that, I hit post by accident!)
people also mimic idols...if someone mimics an idol who does something, you don't think they;ll rub off on them?
And mentors and peers? Same thing.

I don't see what is is wrong with using characters found in movies and TV shows as role models. If it makes a person happy to draw on TV, movies, or books for inspiration then why should we care?

Edit: what is the difference between using, say, William Mandella as a role model and Jesus from the Bible?

Movies and stuff like that are just outlets for our desires. It is our nature to push ourselves, fight, and go on dangerous adventures. We bottle that all up due to the rules of society. We humans were meant to do more, not sit around and make babies!

If a person chooses as a role model a violent character off of TV, it's probably a sign that the person is fucked up to begin with and probably would pick an equally bad, if not worse, mentor independent of the media.

Going back to the topic, (sort of), I like Vonnegut's view on possible extinction being something formed from opinion. Its not really to be taken very seriously, but it is interesting. One of his scenarios has people's opinion of money virtually disappear, so people are all starving to death even though there is still no shortage of food. Basically, an opinion changed, and brought about a famine.

aha, I'm so happy that I made a topic that has grown to be one of the most popular in Intelligent debate.
