Just what does violent lyrics do to those already predisposed to violence? Turn them into boy scouts??


You are either deranged, inebriated, mentally retarded or a barefaced liar.

The jury is still out on the issue.

Why the predisposition of the individuals? Try and answer this time...

[Bricktop]

So thats not enough for you to have a problem with it?

And by "predisposed to such behaviour" , does that mean due to thier natural tendendices or due to the environment that they are living in?

The reality is that no amount of gun lyrics is going to make the typical uptown youth want to engage in gun crimes. For them it is like John Wayne or the Godfather, mostlyfantasy. Not so for the typical ghetto youth.

It's not the music making them want to pick up a gun...ask the data if you don't believe me...

American Psychological Assn study links violent lyrics with increased tendencies towards violence..... IN COLLEGE STUDENTS to ****************!!

BT, figet data, the lyrics really have an influence. Remember the data you are citing, the woman said she did not study the effects of dancehall or something like that.

[MissLondon]

Only a fool would make such a statement without first analyzing the data...it has been shown that violent lyrics affect those that are already predisposed to such behaviour...but why let facts get in the way of emotions....

Predisposed? In what way, genetically? How does one become predisposed to violence? Their environment? family background? Negative influences and elements that they are exposed to?

So basically you agree that violent lyrics affects poor inner city men from dysnfuctional backgrounds? lol Thats exactly my point! lol Unless, of course, you believe people are genetically predisposed to violence.

that's America. what does the Ja. Psychological Assn or UWI say?

[Mosiah]

I never bought the "catharsis" argument anyway because other studies have shown that temper tantrums don't decrease negativity, they increase it. I don't want to censor anyone, but I do want artists to take responsibility for their creative actions - "just reflecting reality" is a cop out.

We might know in 50 years or so
