more about that today's BC's Sunday rant is about the hypocrisy of Hollywood and
what I want to talk about is the violence specifically gun violence but
violence in general by young people and by young people I would say anybody
probably 35 and younger that has been subjected to the the video games of
today but let me go back to Hollywood Hollywood is one of the loudest
opponents of private ownership of guns and not just Hollywood I'm talking about
all the elites all the people that all the actors all the people that are
surrounded with walls and armed bodyguards don't want you and me to have
the option of carrying a pistol or owning weapons they don't like yet
nearly every movie out there is riddled with violence and guns and wanton murder
death and destruction blood and guts and it is carefully packaged and purposely
sold and the message in every movie is that violence settles problems violence
solves problems and that if you want something and you can't get it by any
other means murdering massive amounts of people helps you attain the goal so
Hollywood is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites they package and sell us
violence with guns and then out the other side of their mouth they talked
about wanting to stem the tide of violence and to do that
they want to eliminate private ownership of guns that makes as much sense as
saying to prevent drunk driving you want to eliminate bottles but that's it's not
just movies it's video games I remember the first time now I'm 58 so I grew up
in the era of Miss pac-man and Galaga and benign video games were you know a
you know what they call that miss pac-man you know you chase a ball
through a maze and try to gobble up balls so I wasn't exposed to that as a
young person that's that's what I was exposed to the simple little you know
pinball type games and I remember the first time I saw a violent video game
and this was back in the early 90s I walked past my stepsons bedroom and he
was in there playing a game on his computer and I happened to look and it
was absolute shocking to me the level of blood and carnage and I watched him play
this game and he was so totally absorbed in it he didn't know I was there it was
like a drug it was mesmerised and the only way you could succeed in this game
was to kill more and more and use bigger and better weapons and the more
successful you were at killing the better weapons you got as a reward so
our entire modern world here in America I can only speak for us here revolves
around packaging and selling violence to eat young people impressionable young
people because at that age your brain is still forming
and when you've been taught from the age when do kids start playing video games
are you know seriously probably in their early teens maybe 12 10 11 batter that
time frame and that's at a time and a child's life when your brain is just an
absolute sponge vacuuming up impressions and thoughts and and it is easily
manipulated and if it wasn't advertisers wouldn't spend multi billion dollars a
year trying to affect what you buy on TV the commercials so we know for a fact
that what you see affects how you behave and there are statistics to prove that
I'm not gonna go and look for them for you I don't think there's anybody that
could argue that against that so I
walked into Walmart the other day as a matter of fact I have a clip I don't
know if I'm gonna put that at the beginning of this or at the end of this
probably at the end since I'm talking about it now and I was interrupted by
one of my neighbors or outside what a show it a little more of what I was
doing but I just walked into Walmart and I happened to walk by the DVD section
and every single video featured somebody with a weapon committing horrific acts
against other humans and that's when the the the light bulb went off in my head
it's just it's it's our entire society now revolves around enjoying violence
and we want to pretend that it's the existence of a certain gun that makes
people go nuts and kill massive quantities of other or attempt to other
people which is just absolutely ludicrous I mean I'm not a very smart
guy I can figure this out I didn't graduate
high school I was a trucker my whole life and I could see the absolute
nonsense of blaming the ills of society on the existence of a particular weapon
I owned one of those particular weapons and you know what it's been in my safe
since I bought it I've never even shot it it's brand new
I've never even shot it and you know so far it has not gotten up and gone and
done any bad stuff to anybody I check it's still there as a matter of fact I
need to run a little swap down the barrel just just keep it from getting
rusty so uh what do you think I I can't imagine anybody having an argument
against the the amount of violence we see everywhere and even adults we get so
used to violence that we we kind of forget what we're actually singing you
know when I was growing up the the violent the most violent you would ever
see was uh what was his name John Wayne John Wayne shooting the bad guy and and
even then they didn't show it in graphic detail like they do now can you think of
a movie that was a hit recently that didn't involve violence of some sort
what I'm saying is that we can't get away from this this is not gonna solve
itself by eliminating a particular item that has been used in the past to commit
violence against other people just yesterday somebody drove a car into a
restaurant filled with people you can't eliminate cars to eliminate violence and
you can't eliminate guns to eliminate violence what we have to do is Siri and
this is not going to happen it won't happen ever so this violence
that we're seeing is something that were and it's kind
it's hard to say and it's gonna be even harder to wrap your head around but it's
something that you just have to get used to it's not going to end as long as
violence is the answer in every movie I haven't even talked to talked about
music yet as long as violence is how you succeed in every video game and then
let's move on to rap music now I don't listen to much rock and roll anymore
because to tell you the truth auto-tune makes me want to vomit and the the
talentless people that are you know quote singers unquote nowadays I I don't
call that music I call that canned plastic imitation music you know I I
think music probably stopped in the 80s when Idol tune came out to me that's
when music when meet real musicians and talent stopped as a matter of fact I
have heard where auto-tune accidentally turned off on some of the people sing
you should google that man I can't oh who was it he's a real famous rapper and
he was singing a queen song and his auto-tune stopped and I'm telling you I
could sing better than this guy I mean he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket it
was funny it was hilarious so auto-tuned makes people who shouldn't
be musicians it turns them into musicians but anyway had I digress rap
music rap music bitches and hoes the ownership of women and the more women
you have the more successful you appear and and then there's violence in the rap
you know if you have a beef with somebody you drive by and shoot them up
and they talk about you know guns all the time and rap music and I don't mean
to pick only on rap music but the truth is I never hear
rock and roll I just don't listen to it and I'm subjected to rap music ever at
every stoplight this neighbor right here a little uh probably shouldn't I don't
know if they know I have videos but this little pinhead cracker sits in his truck
and blasts his rap music I live in a town of a thousand people it's a quiet
peaceful little town and I got to hear some cracker sitting in his pickup truck
with three 12 inch subwoofers blasting rap music while his parents are gone kid
I say kid this grown-ass man in his 20s who does not work and when his parents
leave he goes and sits up in his truck and blasts the rap music so I hear the
lyrics in my house I mean I could be sitting here with my computer on
listening to a video and suddenly I know what his parents have left and when he's
woke up usually about 9:30 or 10:00 so I get I hear plenty of rap music against
my will so the there's just you know horrific amounts of violence everywhere
we turn every every channel you want every movie you rent every song you
listen to revolves around violence or committing violence to get what you want
or bragging about the violence you've committed and we sell it to children at
their most impressionable age and we wonder why we have violent children I
can't think of anything more to talk about but banning a particular weapon is
no way and again I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I can figure
this out no way is that going to even have an effect on the amount
violence people commit against each other in real life let's see here
eighty eighty five percent or more of videogames contain some form of violence
let's see there's something else here
there was a study done and four hundred students in this study revealed a
significant link between being exposed to violent media and their own
aggressive behavior aggressive thoughts and angry feelings and this is on CNN I
mean you know these people can if they could twist it any other way they would
this is just one just just just google violence and movies or violence and
music I'm not the only one that thinks this so uh that's pretty much it I'm
disgusted with the world we live in today
and the the fact is it's not going to get better as long as there's profit to
be made in and selling violence to people it will never ever change and the
hypocrites that sell us those violent that violence want to want to whitewash
it they want to appease the general public by pushing for the elimination of
inanimate objects that don't commit violence and it's not going to make a
dent in it and the people they're trying to get to believe that are the
simple-minded sheep and none of you are those have a good day off thanks for
watching
