Tell that to attention-whore, vote-hungry politicians and Jack Thompson. Ahum! :P

But seriously now, I play violent (GTA) video games since I was some age I think, started watching pr0n around that time too, hentai and lolis and whatever came when I was probably around some age. I don't see me raping children or beating a guy dead till his skull cracks.

Actually, some studies have shown that actually simulating those things reduce the number of occurrences in real life (e.g.: the time GTA III launched, the US has seen it's lowest crime rate in centuries, and Japan, known for it's lolies and "child pornography" actually has the lowest child abuse rates on the globe). But then, who the hell pays attention to evidence and reason when you can have prejudices and look important?

@ Wishmaster

Same here. I'm in a developing country too, and we're somewhat cut-off from the rest as well (though we did enter the EU a couple of years ago). I think that's actually good, despite the poor economy and even more shameless and corrupt politicians, since all the s**t the West comes up with from time to time is bound to hit a deaf ear here. We actually joke that the US isn't the promised "land of freedom", THIS IS! You can get away with anything here, even murder. :P

While we also don't have any mangas and hentai here (are there anywhere? even in the US, I think you can not find them being sold anywhere; the Internet is the only resource, except for scarce h-games from time to time), but we still have lots of psychos, killers, rapists, pedophiles and homos, and I think you have too - you just don't hear it that often and often times there will be no media coverage.

Edited for personal details.
