Quote: the G-man said: But if people are responsible for their own actions (and they are) doesn't that also imply that they are also responsible when their actions or words encourage bad behavior?
I'm not sure if you intend these words with the same meaning I read them with,
G-man, but you seem to be making my point for me:
That all this sick shit, from Clive Barker to Grant Morrison to Garth Ennis, to serial-killer "dead teenager" movies, and so forth, does have an effect, does give ideas to-- and influence the behavior of --people already inclined to demented behavior.
I recall some ex-hooker on a Montell Williams talk show saying that the weirdest, sickest stuff men would ask her to do would begin saying: "I saw this in a porn movie..."
