If I were you, I'd lay off the steroids/caffeine and try to have an intelligent conversation with my mother about violence, and after that take my time to ponder about the fact that "ninjas are fukin dope and stuff like 300".
Movie violence and mom's....*sigh*

Reminds me of a time I was watching a movie with my girlfriend's mother (among other people, it wasn't just me and her) and it sprung a sex scene on us. Definatly one of the most awkward moments of my life.manythings said:
As for mothers and violence, let her have her opinion. Many older people who arn't videogame/movie fans believe odd things about them, if she lets you watch them but doesn't want to hear the sounds herself I think that's fair enough. Unless you start having the urge to crack open small animals then movie violence is just a form of stress relief and nothing darker.
My mom doesn't really like violence, but I've kind of... numbed her to violence in movies. She liked Kill Bill, for one. Sometimes, I look over and see her closing her eyes at gory scenes, but otherwise, violence doesn't bother her as much as it used to, as long as there's some sort of point to it (i.e. not a retarded movie like Shoot'Em Up).
Well, it used to happen more often before. They're either desensitized, they don't care, or they don't bother telling me because I won't take it well. I'm smart enough not to play Ninja Gaiden 2 in front of them, so this is mostly a non-issue for me. Of course, my dad does seem to hold the belief that video games make me more violent unconsciously and refuses to listen to any of my arguments against it. I'm not a violent person. I hold some disrespect for him because of his shorter-than-I-would-like temper and hands down fucked up logic when he argues, but he's getting better.
yeah, well, at least you guys ave it lucky.
my mom is a fucking tool.

Too bad you don't have my parents, they're fucking awesome. We all used to play Champions together, great game that.
I never really notice my parents not liking movie violence. Often they will not care as long as the violence does not have any abusive or offensive things to go along with it. Then again, sometimes they say that some movies are too violent and will yell at me if I watch violent movies. It is kind of hard to tell whether they are opposed to it or not.
This matter is very confusing for me. I know they try to keep me way from violence, but we also own and watch a lot of violence movies. I really cannot tell.

I enjoy violence in movies. I play violence in videogames. I think it is fun and one of the things that make action movies interesting. There is just this good feeling you get from randomly going up to a guy then cutting his head off or mowing down random strangers in videogames. I guess it is just the feeling of freedom, where you have no rules and you can do anything and not care about consequences. There are already so many restrictions in real life that it is just fun to have a time where you can do anything you want, and have no one say no to you.
Unfortunately I have a split mind on this subject. I do not like violence that supports bad stuff. Violence is okay as long as it doesn't have swearing and mutilation. I say that because I know that little kids usually watch that kind of stuff and I really do not want kids to grow up thinking that is the proper way to act around people. I really do not like walking down the street and seeing a little kid say fudge to me and then do something like spit on someone?s property or breaking something.

Honestly, my mom isnt crazy about violent games. But if i do my homework then she doesnt care. Shes alright for that.
Hell, she sat through Friday the 13 ( remake ) with me and my friend when nobody else could take.
