Porn and video games today; TV last generation; Rock and Roll before that. These are nothing more than excuses to turn our eyes away for the root cause of people issues. Aside from the small set of kids who actual have psychological problems, kids in general are a product of their parents. Asshole parents beget asshole children. Pointing the finger at some outside source of the problem is just another way of saying this isn’t my fault. It’s not my fault that my kid plays hours of video games. Well, dipshit who bought him the console or who allows him to do so. Yet another crutch for the “it’s not my fault” generation.
“Scientist” who write assenine crap like this are IMO worse that the useful idiot sperm and egg donors we call parents today. They spout off idiotic theories and give people reason to believe that it really isn’t their fault.
Yep. If porn and video games really caused this kind of thing there would only be 184 people left on the planet.
Every serial killer and murders has the following things in common:
Breathes oxygen
Eats food
Generally wears clothes
Often drives a car
Usually has a job
Can be very intelligent
Some like the BTK can be heavily involved in the church
Often enjoys sex
So if you know anyone like that, you might want to alert the local authorities.
Growing up in the 80’s I was all about video games. I started out with an Atari 2600 and a TI 99/4A that I played games on. Then came the NES and Sega. The last console I bought was the first X-Box. While I enjoy the hell out of shooters I don’t allow myself to buy the newest systems and games because I know that I can waste 8hrs in front of a TV in a blink of an eye.
Instead I focus on more important things.
And that right there is usually the problem 99% of the time.
Oh shit…!
Sorry bro, but Leah Remini gets a pass…
She got about as big as K.J. for a while but when she was thinner yep I’d hit that. lol
She’s hot and I’d throw her a bone, but she’s a Scientology freak, so clinically speaking, she’s batshit crazy. 
“Red Pill Room” is also a good, well-written and well thought out blog.
Seriously? WTF is wrong with those people? It boggles the mind perfectly intelligent people could be that gullible (read stupid). Ugh.
A really bad sci fi writers tells the world he’s going to create a religion, and does it, and actually gets people to both do it and give a ton of their $$$ to it. I repeat, WTF?! :help:
I don’t want her for her mind… LOL… Ron
That makes him a damn genius doesn’t it?
I agree though, wtf? Only thing I can come up with is it’s the “look at me” syndrome that much of Hollywood suffers from. The need to be sooooo different that you surpass weird and become cool or eccentric.
ETA: For the record, I think she’s smokin hot, I just never would admit it until I saw everyone else do it.
Rarely do I involve myself in pop culture endeavors but a quick wiki on her and I found this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leah_Remini#The_Talk
“Sharon thought me and Holly were too ‘Ghetto’.” and her eloquent tweet “Haters Gon’ Hate” :lol:
She strikes me as the Jersey Shore psychotic type that would go apeshit on your ass if you hit it and quit it. No thank you.
Not to veer too much further off topic but her wiki lead me to this article about a Hollywood museum Psychiatry: An Industry of Death which her and some other Hollywood actors/actresses promoted.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatry:_An_Industry_of_Death
And to my chagrin were listed two other fetching Hollywood ladies:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenna_Elfman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Bell
I guess it’s in the water :sarcastic:
I’ll stick with this doll http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004990/
She’s also a Republican
No different than all the Hollyweird types flocking to Anton Lavey satanism in the early 70s which was nothing more than a church dedicated to the “non belief” in religion with rituals designed to mock christianity.
I can understand not believing in christianity but an entire religion dedicated to it makes as much sense as a church dedicated to non belief in the easter bunny.
The root cause is the increase of taxes and mandatory outputs from your budget.
While there are a lot more females in the work place today than 50 years ago you always have to ask why? Well 50 years ago a family of 4 had more disposable income than they do today. Look at how much property taxes and nickle and dime taxes have gone up. 50 years ago people didn’t have to pay 200 a month for cell phones, 50 a month for internet, 100 a month for cable. Most people got by with a single vehicle. Now the wife needs a car (and insurance on the 2nd veh, registration fees, maint ect) because she has to work. Most people didn’t have AC back then.
When you add up all the extra cost of our modern lives, and then the cost of the 2nd vehicle + work costs Id say in many cases you’re basically spinning your wheels. But its up to each person if they can live without those modern goods and make do with one car.
You also have to think about jobs our (for us younger people anyways) parents had. A lot of the times you got a pension and you stayed in the same job with the same employer your whole life. Now there is a lot more moving around and most people go through several (professional level) jobs. Retirement is up to you. Might get 401k matching but the company provided retirement after 20 or 30 is gone. To get a job you might have to move across the country every 5 years. Out of all our friends here only one couple is native to the area. We have friends from PA, n. texas, houston, and myself I grew up in SoCal.
When you get back to the loss of “men” in society its because you take away that breadwinner status, add in the moving every few years thing, and I think its kinda takes away the pride males have in their house, their job, ect. We have also transformed from a production based society to service based society. How many people have jobs instead of making something everyday they go to “service” another business, ect? Look at all the IT folks. They are not making anything. They are servicing the client or other group within the company.
It cuts both ways.
Many women have become infected with the princess syndrome. No exercise, no cooking, no ambitions, etc…
Who needs to do anything when you are a self-entitled diva with caked on make up? Just get some dumb bastard to keep you alive!
There has always been that but its a lot more prevalent now.
It was acceptable when women stayed home and actually still “worked” all day. The dude came home to a clean house, laundry done and folded, there was not the obesity problems we have now. Lots of overweight women at home who throw some meal in a box slop on the table, and the dude comes home to toys all over the place from the kids, messy in general, and an overweight wife who has 5 year old “baby weight”.
Not all women mind you. You just can’t expect to get married and have a wife who knows how to take care of a house without being very choosy.

The porn effect on young men: A Q&A with the authors of ‘The Demise of Guys’ - Los Angeles Times
http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jun/02/health/la-he-five-questions-porn-20120602
Although the topic of this thread topic has some merit, the root cause, which some of us have touched on, has not been addressed by the author of this study/opinion, which is way off base. The issue with girly, feminized, metro sexual men, runs much much deeper. These articles address the real issues of the true demise and the typical “urban” male that we so often come across. This subject and these references, has been brought up by more than a few of the women I’ve dated in the past. Their common thread was that they won’t date a guy without a military background.
