Almost everyone I know does drugs. I don't though, I think it's the dumbest thing you can do. I think drugs are morally wrong, because it's a personal issue I have, drugs have screwed me up and I've never even done them. I think they're definitely a problem.
lovehurts, if you're a film student, then you KNOW that "Birth of a Nation" is a propaganda film, and has no place in this discussion of films meant to be forms of entertainment. That's like comparing apples to apples that suggest you kill babies. Of course a propagandist film is going to have a specific promotion, and of course the people who respond most resoundingly to that promotion are people who have already taken interest in the subject matter. A film created to entertain is not going to have those propagandist qualities, and is not going to promote anything. It's merely going to tell a story.
Furthermore, media does not shape us. We determine what media to take in and what media to disregard. While it is true that there are some cases of people who have been "led" to violent acts as a result of viewing a certain media, these are the exception, not the rule. Normal, average, sane people are not influenced by an hour and a half's worth of flashy explosions to do something they didn't already want to do in the first place.
As a student of the media, you should understand that holding media institutions at fault for the actions of individuals is wrong. People determine their own lives, and the various forms of media in the world make commentary on that.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Your whole counter-argument was excellent foa, but this made me want to eat roflwaffles covered in lolsyrup.

I have to say that comment makes no sense ... people have killed other people by immitating things seen in movies ... why are there disclamers do no try this at home ... in my opinion this is a pretty ignorant thread ...Shooting people with a gun is different than drugs. Honestly this is the first commerical Ive seen that says in bold
DRUGS
.....people wont kill people as seen in a movie but alot of people at the age of say 14 would probabally be enocuraged to do drugs, where they arent killing some one or where they arent hurting anyone. Especially if some smuck of a movie makes it out to be ok and cool.
Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

Marijuana may make you feel good for a short period of time, in that time you may experience hallucinations, open mindedness, hunger, and a feeling that you are better than everyone else because they are stupid fartknockers.

Alright kids, here's a question
If ALL drugs are 'bad'... Then why haven't alchol and cigarettes and ridaliene, ect, been outllawed?
Because they've been legal for too long.
bc it keeps the population under control
