I'm probably in minority but...

Pete, have to disagree with you on the violence thing. Just go to a playground and see who/what the kids are imitating in their play. Better yet, try reading the news stories about all the copycat imitators and who/what THEY SAY they are trying to be like. It's frightening!

Studies can be frauds, too, don't forget...and many of them are just that. The media only reports on those things that fit their agenda...everything else is relegated to mini-spots and hidden places or not mentioned at all. You see, that kind of whitewash of things fits their sadistic movie ads, weaponry ads, ads for violent games and sites, etc ad nauseum. Simply because someone says it is so doesn't make it so.

Rod, you didn't happen to get the URL of that ad, did you?

Thanks, Dien, for the response and willingness to modify things. You're the #1 reason this forum maintains it's quality.
