If we are what we eat...

[Delta4Embassy]

...Do we become what we consume as recreation and entertainment? If our entertainment is violent videogames and tv shows, do we in turn become violent people? If we read, write, and participate in online discussions of a negative emotional type, do we in turn become negative hostile people?

Something to think about.

I grew up on Bugs Bunny. I have yet to convince my brother to walk off a cliff.

I'm still trying though.

For a blank slate dullard like Delta? Yes, he will imitate what he sees.

It depends on how much of that kind of entertainment you immerse yourself in. If violent games and movies are all you watch, eventually, you may decide to see if what works in the games and movies actually works in real life.

Not a good idea to do though, because in the games, the tactics that are used against the player are different than what the police do with a bad guy.

What you got against videogames​

As an experienced gamer, I have killed many animated bots, and been killed by them many times. But I realize that in real battles you do not get another life.

Hi Ashtara, nice to hear from you:
I consider Islam an entirely false doctrine which was invented by an Arab warmonger, and largely stolen from the bible. If I am right it is not so much bigotry as an attempt to tell the truth.

I created a topic about it in the religion area. We can discuss it there if you like.​

No...I can separate entertainment from myself.

There is a wisdom....I hope, you understand, when I translate into English. " By the circumstances are not shaped the people, but people do reveals about self of the people in the circumstances."
In my opinion, the most important the role model for the kids, but they can to learn the bad example too.

If you are what you eat, then why did I never turn into a cute redhead with a big rack in the first couple of years that I was married?

Don't believe the hype.
