RE: I killed many people in the past

in #steemit7 years ago

Dearest Hanen, I, unfortunately have to completely disagree with you. I've played so many games and watched so many movies with so much pretend violence, but I've never once wanted to hit someone or break their bones. Despite what the media tells us, this is the safest time in human history.

This article shows the downwards trend: https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2011/06/long-term-trend-in-homicide-rates.html

In medieval times every single person carried a knife or staff for protection, even women.... something like 30% of all young men would be murdered.

People have always been violent, but I'm very lucky to say I've never witnessed an actual fight.

Hhhh you are absolutely right. I was also a Horror freak and watched the most terrible movies ever :) I dont feel like harming anyone in real life, but game is game! All depends on the nature of the person and his experience in life. But remember some years ago, we didnt had all this violence in TV or Games. Now they are doing everything possible to sell their products. It starts with the News etc.
