  what is wrong when six-year-old boys
become "murders"??

  some of you might remeber what happend
in norway some months ago, when a five
year old girl was murded by 3 of her
friends, boys which were only 6 years
old.

  for me this sounds like something that
even wouldn't fit in a nightmare. some-
thing went wrong didn't it?

  when the news about this came out, as
always the first things media discussed
was weather movies and video games with
violence could have affect these boys
behaviour?

  of course it could!

  but then, are movies like demolotion
man, cliffhanger or under siege made for
six-year-old kids? no!

  here in sweden movies with violence
are put with an age limit. where you
should be atleast 15 to watch it at
cinema or rent it at a video-store. if
i'm not wrong these limits are even
higher in norway.

  usa is a country that never stops to
confuse me. they arn't so hard with the
age limit on vilolent movies. but if a
movie has a sex-scene then the limit is
very high. strange! a movie which could
have an age limit of 11 years here in
sweden could be x-rated in usa.

  the older sceners might remember two
movies produced in sweden during the
seventies called "nyfiken gul" and
"nyfiken blå" (curious yellow and blue)
which was shown in usual cinemas here in
sweden (or am i wrong?) but at porno
cinemas in the us.

  chanel one here in sweden stoped the
sending of the disney cartoon DARKWING
DUCK. as they said it wasn't good for
children. there was too much violence!
havn't they seen TOM &amp; JERRY???

  so after all whose fault is it?

  i think it's time that the parents of
young children starts to think what they
are letting their children see, what
kind of toys they get. instead of just
thinking about their carrier and work.
they must start to care about their
children.

  one of my best friends little brother
is just around 7 years old but is very
violent-fixated. the only thing he talks
about is how you could hurt other people
once he said he didn't like MCGYWER bcoz
there was to little people who died when
there was so much bombs going of!?

  how long will it go. someone must stop
it before it's gone too far. just check
out the big happenings for 1994 here in
sweden; mattias flink killed 7 people.
the 16 and 17 years old brothers that
killed a 15 year old boy. the 4 people
that where killed at stureplan.




   when such things happens something
    must have gone wrong. hasn't it?
