For example, pretend an imaginary kid went to a prison camp. the bad kids there will treat the imaginary kid terribly and he will hate it when they always beat him up! That proves my point because the bad people were the ones who treated him badly and he probably never wants to do it again....
This house believes that the media should not televise real extreme violence
Real extreme violence should not be televised on the media as currently in this era of technology many of us are easily influenced by it and tend to follow every single step taken as shown in the media.

According to the Bible, Adam and Eve are about 12,000 years old.
I have read about 2/3 of the Holy Bible, Children Catholic, Southern Baptist, and of course KJV.

I know the Old Testament well and the New Testament better. I also...
