Re: About the CBS/Crl-Atl-Delete article

In Response To: Re: About the CBS/Crl-Atl-Delete article (zugy)

: Methinks Ted Bundy was releasing something other than aggression :P

The rational point on this issue is that parents aren't doing enough. And it's true.

I just wonder how long people can keep pinning the effects on the effect before we go after the causes. The United States is the only country in the world to have so many problems that we're attributing to other factors...
-Why do we blame fast food for making us eat it? (would you rather that people be getting fat at a deli?)
-Why do we blame handguns when we pull the trigger? (Would you prefer if they were pushed out of windows?)
-Why do we blame tobbacco for making us smoke it? (Would you prefer weed? Crack?)

It's clearly absurd to do these things, but that's what's happening. And it's not going to solve a single thing. As pointed out in another discussion "Make owning a gun criminal and only criminals will own guns." You have to make people quit doing these things- period. Taking away what they're after will only make them angry and want it more.

Why not a campaign that says "eating crappy food is unhealthy." Wouldn't that just be amazing? It's a lot better than having McDonald's carry a salad loaded with meat and dressing that makes it just as calorie-rich as most of the other things they carry.
