[QUOTE="WessonOil, post: 2077349, member: 25792"] Manufacturers spent about $17 billion dollars last year directed at children alone to influence their "buying" decisions. They are well aware of how repetition to their product influences children...they don't spend that kind of money HOPING it will. You all can Google it yourselves, but the percentage of violence portrayed on television..both on cable and networks, is phenomenally higher than it was just a coupla' decades ago. By the same token, readers may Google an endless number of documents online in which numerous child advocacy organizations have conducted research on how it has affected children and their attitudes towards inflicting pain on others, and their insensitivty to it. Remember Tipper Gore and the PMRC? When it comes to advertising, it's an accepted fact that continuous exposure to something influences buying decisions, but when it comes to exposure to violence continously it doesn't have an effect?
