Mhm, excuse me if this topic has been made before. I haven't been in debate lately.
--- Well, you see on Court TV and some other television programs that they show murder mysteries. If you don't know, then it's like a show where they tell you about some really big murder case and how they solved who killed who. This question came up in my mind a few days ago: Should those shows be cancelled? In my thoughts, I think yes, it should. Why? Because the program tells you HOW the person murders that person and WHAT exactly they did. If a serial killer is watching this, it could create some very brilliant ideas for them. But the police solved this kind of murder already. What's the point of a killer copying what they saw on TV about a crime? Well, chances are, they could watch more than one and then figure out a greater way to kill someone. >.> It's a possibility. |

no they shouldn't be cancled, simple as that... It's your choice to watch these shows or not... if you don't choose to watch it then thats great.. whatever. and whoever is stupid enough t copy a crime from a TV show, SHOULD get their ass thrown in jail for being such a dumbass.

Yes, it's your choice to watch whatever you want, but it is not your choice to decide what a killer or criminal will think of due to these shows. The shows give ideas. If the criminals are smart, they'll be careful of what they're doing and not do all the things that are shown as to not get caught. And it really doesn't matter where they got the idea from because they'll be killing people anyway, the ones show on TV could give them ideas that they could develop and make it more convenient for them. |

I never said they would start to go out and kill people after watching a show. Criminals who did not get caught let's say would be hopeful in that they wouldn't do things that were being shown on TV. They'd be more careful. Not eveyr killing is about motive. What about serial killers? Some don't have motives, let alone feelings. They can shoot people without any reason, or maybe they just felt like killing them. |
