Face it, the world would be a much safer place to live if we went to work, came home, read books (not on the censored list) and talked to our wives.

I love my wife, but when THAT'S the most entertainment life is willing to offer, I'll pass.
Those don't necessarily follow. An individual who is genetically predisposed to being non-violent is not going to become violent after watching a violent movie, but a genetically violently predisposed individual might, but that individual was going to pretty much no matter what anyway.
