Yes, there are shows/movies that break the mold, but 90% of them will always follow those guidelines.

Yet again, in most of those movies - the hero almost always exhausts other courses of actions first before committing acts of violence. In most of those movies with those actors you mention, the heroes are reactionary to the events that occur. As the villain will often push the heroes to take action. That plays into…

I agree it's mostly lip-service. In most cases, especially movies, there are always reasons as to why the might of the american military is not able to respond properly. Be too far away, disabled or otherwise incapacitated. Only temporarily of course. Whatever self-delusion it is, people are willingly to believe it…

That was directed at Ashisyou. There is more to school shooters than the fact that they happen. That isn't evidence in of itself, there is more factors that go into school shootings. Like for instance - bullying, harassment etc. As far as the economic status goes - yes, economics does play into it. however there is…

Hmmm, I was in error then. My other points still stand regarding the fact that many movies portray that violence is often the last resort that male leads use.

Yet as the original poster stated that violence is the first go to solution in both the media and therefore society. There would be alot more dead bodies in real life and in media otherwise. It is not. Fact. Your first two quotes basically are saying "Quit whining/complaining." is the first two quotes. I don't…

I highly doubt the Boston bomber was romanticized by anyone. According to the cover, the article was about how the family failed to raise him properly and thus was an warning of what happens. Not exactly falls into the definition of romance.

If you want to see romanticized violence, go look at an Michael Bay movie.…

My point is, he's an john Wayne archetype. He's an space cowboy.

Yet overall crime trend is going down. Fact. You got something else?

And think about all those films... o nearly every single one. How many of them had male leads who tried to do other courses of actions before they resorted to violence? You said specifically that violence is the first solution that males go for first in films and therefore reflects upon society.

Most male leads use…

Depends on the country, but I don't really see how violence is the go-to problem solver for guys. If anything, there is an general media/society push that it should be the last resort. Otherwise, violent crimes would be climbing or staying the same in the United States. It's on a decline btw.

If it doesn't look like a spaceship, I would be skeptical to be honest. Usually spaceship = better cooling system. Only way to justify a decent cooling rig inside a laptop is by making it look the part.

True, but again, in the end, you lose the moral high ground by doing so. You can do an revenge killing if you want, but to say you are completely innocent as white snow is false.

... yeah but the point of being a white hat hacker is the fact that you actually have ethical boundaries. A grey hatter MAY do it. They can go black/white at their own discretion. A white hatter will not. That's like asking a paladin in DnD to commit unlawful murder. They wouldn't be able to call themselves a white…

Yeah as they say: Common sense isn't so common. Hiding in plain sight etc.

no, they don't want that type of negative attention. There maybe one or two at most who may invite it willingly because they profit off of it. And that's pushing it. Vast overwhelming majority? No, they don't want it. Never have, never will. Future note: Don't say "All/These/They ____" unless you are absolutely damn…

No, you said that law enforcement needs to get in on that. That's going to be hard because the same raw metadata that the trolls are using, the marketing companies are using to profit off of. Companies will protect their profit margins. That's going to be tough to pass any type of law enforcement.

So your saying that the trolls plan by to "adopt ethics in gaming" as a defense never happened or wasn't a full effort to do? We're not talking about an actual leg in journalism in an arguement. At least I am not. I'm talking about the illusions that they put up.

That is my point. It didn't matter that there is a ton…

Thank you for that food-for-thought comment. I shall file it under "Trash" at once.
