#1581, "That article doesn't make much sense."


          

"Exposure to violent electronic media has a larger effect than all but one other well known threat to public health. The only effect slightly larger than the effect of media violence on aggression is that of cigarette smoking on lung cancer,"

WTF? Is he saying that... exposure to violent electronic media has the 2nd largest effect on public health? Or on aggression? Is aggression the #2? How in the hell could this guy even hope to make an accurate and understandable comparison/analogy between "violent electronic media" and cigarette smoking?

Also, what do they mean by "aggression"? Committing acts of violence? Yelling at someone who cuts you off while driving? Anger problems? Way too vague for "scientific" results.

AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS HERE?!?!?!? NO, I"M AGGRESSIVE. MORE BLOOD MORE BLOOD MORE BLOOD MORE BLOOD
