Hollywood's brainwashing techniques

I'm going out on a bit of a limb here but I think that the subject is one that any mature thinking individual should consider in light of the fact that every person in North America has already been affected by it. I'm not going to quote directly from the myriad of studies already done in this area but I saw something on the news that really struck me and now that I'm not as angry as I was at the time I thought I'd express a view point. The movie Project X was a cheaply made fast produced film by a novice director which portrays a wild party that gets out of hand resulting in mass destruction and mayhem for which the three perpetrators come out unpunished to any real degree. Back to the real world we are now seeing copycat parties that result in millions of dollars in real estate damage, injury and in Austen Texas, death. Think about this if you don't think you've been brainwashed. In the fifties and sixties a hero was a person who protected the weak, had a strong moral stance regarding right and wrong and did nothing violent unless they were forced to often for the sake of others. Today we cheer for good guys who are basically violent criminals with substance abuse problems and who our children try to emulate. Movies portray lifestyles that even when we know better we assimulate them in our mindsets and world views as normal. Remember the movie Jackass. How many kids hurt themselves doing stupid stunts like that? If a movie comes out, portraying some meme that is new, there will be people changed by it.
Media changes the world. Comic books were one of the leading propaganda techniques used to introduce communism to China. They turned children against their parents and resulted in the overthrow of China in a few short years. How many special interest groups have used media to change our world views. Women's groups, Gay rights, Animal rights, Green groups and even the government over smoking not for our good but to reduce health care expense. The interesting thing is that real penalties have developed for people who publish media opposed to some of these things. If you speak out against certain causes or even defend your own viewpoint when it disagrees with some of these causes, you can be punished. The legal mechanisms are in place to punish for example a Christian printer who refused to print a tract for a certain group because it was essentially hate literature and offended his Christian faith.
In California a number of pastors are in jail for speaking against gay life styles and yet movie producers can make movies that undermine basic and essential values and propagate societal destruction with clearly documented costs including death, and they go without punishment. In fact they are rewarded.
The creators of Project X need to stand in front of the dead children's parents and the property owners and explain themselves. Then they need to go to jail for a period long enough to get a message to the media mongols that they have a responsibility to promote and not destroy our society.
-The above is just my opinion but do look around you!

sorry for this one.

I was thinking today. Sometimes that happens but now that I'm semi-retired and only working on my wife's home renovation project I find that the mind wanders through some odd corners of memory. I don't claim any particular merit for my Christian life. I should probably spend most of my time in apologizing rather than apologetics but I was thinking of business I have done or almost done with brothers and It seems to me that the world may view Christian business people, at least many I have encountered or heard of, as flaky or even creepy. I think God wanted me to recognize that my attitude toward some of these people is wrong and needs to change and that's good for me if I get a handle on my wrong attitude. Unfortunately for the folks out there that don't claim the faith as their own or perhaps not to any depth, then some of these business people must surely turn them off. Transparency is so important for Christians and does not mean making sure everyone knows we are Christian so much as everyone should presume from our integrity and total reliability that we are. I know a few like that. They deal with you as if Jesus were not only there in the Spirit but like He was physically present and visible. To them it is the same and they are a pleasure to spend time with.
