Re: Does violent culture produce a violent society?
Acceptance of violent culture breeds more violent culture.

BLM riots were acceptable, because it was just letting people vent their frustrations and anger. "For the people who came here to destroy, we gave them room to do that". Will Smith bitch slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. When the legal system does not punish violent criminals, it just encourages more violent crimes.

So now, Black people (committing 99% of the violence), see it, as acceptable, to immediately go to physical violence for any perceived wrong, or disrespect, against them.

hundereds/thousands of babies were vivisected behind closed doors and you don't hear a peep from the "news".
 Quoting: Weyoun


Notice how many people, when it came to abortions, have been in the forefront of "My Body, My Choice," but when it came to Covid and mRNA vaccines, they easily reverted to "Your Body, MY Choice."

BTW, abortions guarantee the death of a human.

mRNA vaccines sure as hell don't guarantee the health or life of a human.

Re: Does violent culture produce a violent society?
I think the internet is evidence enough to support this theory. Mass shootings are a direct result of Americans going online.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83701916


Although technology has affected both the culture and politics, the nature of liberalism/leftism predates the current era.

Look at all the violence and brutality during the first half of the 20th century.

However, I guess since things in general back then were less "lefty," even a theory that too much sociopolitical liberalism makes people and places meaner and nastier doesn't necessarily apply.

Then again, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Mao Tse-tung, Fidel Castro, etc, etc, etc, were all "leftys."

Re: Does violent culture produce a violent society?
I dont really know. I had a stay-at-home dad during my preschool/kindergarten years, we would watch Stallone and Schwarzenegger action movies during the days, sometimes while he helped me fix my hair. He played Doom sometimes, then I learned as I was older. I've never murdered anyone, hell I can't even fight. I guess the difference was that I was told "this is pretend" and my mom (she hated that I watched them) would tell me "this is no way to behave, you should never treat someone like that in real life"
I was in 9th grade when Columbine happened and I remember the media started saying how Violent video games were an issue and the main cause. Then again, that was the same year Pokémon was being labeled as satanic.

I cant speak for anyone else, but violent media didn't encourage me to be violent. I still love action movies, my husband and I watch almost nothing but.

Re: Does violent culture produce a violent society?
Yep, to some extent .But I think it takes someone who is aware to not let violence influence them.

I used to listen to rap music until recently and I've never wanted to harm people. I also watch movies with violence and I play video games with violence. Never once did it influence me to harm.
 Quoting: CigarTigher


The issue is children being brought up in incessant violence all day during their formative years - on the TV screen, game console, and in music.

And it is not just a violence issue. It is also a sex issue because we are drenched with an oversexed culture, which may be even worse than the violence itself psychologically speaking.

We are the first society in history with this amount of sex and violence 24/7 from childhood and it will not end well.

We are in terminal decline and it is irreversible except by an act of God.

Re: Does violent culture produce a violent society?
The United States is predominately composed of hybrid Europeans who came searching for a better life after constant wars had ravaged their homelands. Now what they sought to escape has followed them and the "American Dream" is on fire and will collapse because the people have allowed the same families to rule over them.
 Quoting: Deepwater Sculpin


Yes, our founding fathers were Christians fleeing persecution in Europe. God blessed their extreme arduous journey and starting a new life in a strange land among strange people. But their descendants are now murdering babies and mutilating childern.

Look at Cain and Abel, only one generation for the first murder. Man cannot excape his default sinful nature, that's why we need Jesus to rescue us from it.
 Quoting: Weyoun


I can escape a sinful nature, can you not? It's not that hard to just be a good person and I truly mean that.
 Quoting: J-lee


I am tempted by satan everyday and if it weren't for Jesus who knows what depravities and abominations I would've gotten into until I'm too far gone into hell.

Satan is smarter and devious than any man, after all, he tricked Solomon to sacrifice babies, and Solomon was the wisest man ever. If even Solomon succumbed, what chance do the rest of us have? That's why we need the full armor of God that He gives. It is a supernatural armor we cannot make ourselves.

Many people think they are being good, but "the road to hell is paved in good intentions." Just as many nurses and doctors, deceived and/or ignorant, thought they were doing good by promoting the jab. Many abortionists sincerely think they are helping the woman. Many gays think they are in "love".

I do not know you and don't know what your temptations are, but the point is, if you think you're good enough to resist satan, that is a trick of satan himself, to make you underestimate him. We are not good enough and we need Jesus.

Adam and Eve were perfect humans. They directly, with no separation or division, walked with God and talked with God. They were sinless. They only had one rule to follow. Only one! It does not get easier than that! Yet they still succumbed to satan. What chance do we stand?

Only recently have people forgotten living is survival of the fittest, which means we are in a less violent society now than probably ever before

Re: Does violent culture produce a violent society?
Cain, Abel, and Seth were all raised in the same culture, yet Abel and Seth turned out fine and Cain a murderer.
 Quoting: Weyoun


Wrong. Able was a shepherd that wondered far from town/ city and observed Gods creation in nature. Just like how life was intended for man before man fell from grace. Remember, God cursed the ground and told man in order to live now that man would have to till the soil and labor.

Able did not live in house, he lived out in the open and maybe had a tent. He had little contact with people in town. He didn't hold any titles or have a reputation of much. He was humble and trusting. He may visit with others in passing but was mostly alone observing the nature, living freely, happily, and independently, in fellowship with God. Able picked out the finest of his flocks to give back to God.

Cain was a farmer and lived close to town and bartered goods and help settle disputes with neighbor's. No doubt he also helped Able sell animals at the market as well. He worked with others to regulate trade deals, build dwellings, till soil, plan crops through observing seasons. He was a man that others relied on a lot and the advantage of everything he could in his culture to get ahead and be a respectable community member.

Cain on the other hand merely picked out food that he had grown and appeared OK, as he intended to sell and barter his best foods. He had less faith in God to provide for his needs than Able, who had learned to rely more on God out in the wilderness than Cain had done. Able brought forth his best, first and healthiest animals to sacrifice.

Anyways, two totally different cultures and ways of being in the world.



Seth was born after the death of Able. So about 20 years younger and a different generation. He was the replacement child of Eve. Thus, another Shepard too. Through Seth’s family is how religion became organized, and incorporated the worship of the one true God to save a the fallen world. Thus, inspiring people to live the best life than can.

The indigenous Americans were killing each other long before a single European landed in the Western Hemisphere.

Case in point was the aggressive Mohawks slaughtered the Huron and burned their lands in the 17th century.

The Huron were allies of the French so this was winked at by the British.

The indigenous didn’t have a written history so we can only imagine how much violence there was before the Europeans took over.

This is not to say the Europeans were better but to say the issue is human nature not a specific group’s nature.

Human nature is a dualism of good and evil.

Let's be honest. Homogeneous societies are the most peaceful ones. To have peace you need to have people that think the same for the most part and when they procreate then create people that look more like themselves (race).

That is where race plays in, because than a beauty standard is established in that culture and a common look achieved through natural reproduction of the fittest. Now you start moving people and mixing the races that means mixing ideas and cultures. That leads to misunderstandings and jealous, envious behaviors with some and that causes problems for others. And, violence has a way of pushing and enforcing ideas and behaviors, that peace does not.

A person who brazenly shops lifts is not going to have their shop lifting stop by a peaceful discussion about why it is wrong. In peaceful societies that is where God was created to be the ultimate judge in punishing people in an afterlife. Even the people of God know you can't reason with people that do not fear pain and violence in the end.

Of course.

Marketing 101 - target the easily influenced; that would be most of the population with IQs from slightly above average, to all the way to the left of the bell curve.

In order to not fall for the influence, one needs to be at least one standard deviation above the mean -- an IQ of 115 or above. Even then, clever marketing will get some.

The violent cultural aspects are very influential on about 85% of the population. Not unlike the seemed hypnosis corrupt preacher from Houston seems to have over the people who give their last dime to support his lambo, yacht, G-5, and 35,000 sq ft mansion habit.
