Being a fan of games and movies I've always asked the question, why doesnt anyone make games or movies based on peace and love? There have been some, quite good too but the all pervading theme in most entertainment is violence or anything that evokes anger.
An instant comparrison is porn = disgust,shame (insert anything negative) vs violence = glory, victory, justified hatred.
Which one is more accepted in our society? It seems that watching people get killed is fine but watching them have sex is not.....oh yes we are a messed up species.
The programming of people's beliefs runs so deep that its going to take the absolute smashing of their fixed reality to even promt a question in their mind.
T.V has been the greatest mind control tool of all time.

this is so true, and what can we do about it? I agree with you about how it is being used to create fear. Most movies today have obscene violence in them that only promote and further depravity.
Taking your idea about movies of peace, spirit and virtue - Ive proposed the idea of using these mediums to do exactly that, internet use, movies, newspapers, et al expressly for this purpose, and then to use legislation also to protect a healthy mind and spiritual well being !!
In so doing we would be protecting the spiritual wellbeing of all life and of our earth and her waters!
