And then I hear some kids singing about killing wifey, etc..etc...and I never understand how music artists get away with it but I guess they do.

Kids absorb the violence then think its ok to do it themselves because they heard/saw X celebrity do it in a movie or through music. Games can be at fault also because you can play out that violence rather then speaking about it. Kind of a big looparound circle.

You're absolutely right Jonbo. And it's becoming a bigger problem. All that rap **** makes kids think being a thug is cool. We even have white kids trying to act black nowadays.

It makes me mad (and sad) even thinking about what the media and this "American" pop culture has done to not only kids in North America but also worldwide.

Notice I put quotes around American, because even though it seems this way now, I really hate to think that America's reputation was been deteriorated into a country that represents violence, sex, drugs, gangsters, etc. And I know I'm not American, but it is still sad to see. I feel sorry for you real Americans. You know, the ones who have not succumed to this Rap and Pop bull****.

I'm sorry, but I had to say that. Because I really take this stuff personally, especially in the past couple of months.

If I was leader of America, every Rap star would be thrown into jail, and their **** albums taken off of the market. That's what they get for ****ing up this world.
