| Ok, so I sat down at my computer just surfing when I came across this Violent Video Game Debate: Bill O Reilly vs A Little Girl - Unsought Input Apparently O'reilly spouting some garbage about how video games should be taken and replaced with bibles. So, some 7 year old actor comes along and points at everything wrong. Okay, so maybe the swearing made the whole thing a tad bit hypocritical, but she raised some decent points. So O'reilly comes along and replies to this polit teams message. And yet, every single one of their statements and questions go unanswered. Instead, they claim the child is being "abused" and CPS should step in. Come on, save the Ad Hominems for the election.

| Asides from anything else what a bunch of hypocrites, they're moaning about how unresponsible her parents are and at the same time they've popularised her image to the world. American TV media tends to be such trash it's not even worth watching.

| It's not all trash, you just have to find the good things. Like porn. But no, quite seriously O'Reily is a douchebag for the most part. Only time he's ever amused me has been things he's said and done in relation to the Colbert Report.

It is obvious that this is a professionally directed and cut video clip. On the other hand, that is what you see on TV every day. Actually, it is a commercial for the band "The Bastard Fairies".

| They both suck? The lkid was used to advocate a certain view which the barely will understand (if at all). Though I don't think this will "damage" the kid, maybe if they force the kid into doing this repeatidly and thus brainwash them. Though arguebly teaching your kid any morals and views would be "brainwashing" it. As for O'Reilly, they only focused on the abuse part and showed the "bad" stuff (the attacks on religion, republicans etc.) and left out the part about videogames and such and using the argument against games to blame religion to show the sillyness of blaming videogames, rap etc. So they both fail. |

| To be honest, I find both parties are to blame. Yes, a child should not have been conveyed for this message. But that child advocate is funny as well. She's basically implying that what the child is saying, is wrong. Which to very many people is completely and utterly right. But to be honest, I completely find it ridiculous to even consider calling social security for something like that. At one point he even compares the parents of the girl to child rapists. Not directly, but it is implied. The truth is, were it a normal grown up person to say these things, they would be completely disregarded. The child was merely used as a conveyor messenger so to speak. And in my opinion, an eight year old child understands at least some things of what she said. To be honest, I can just flip open the TV and see small children spewing utter idiocies from their mouths for all kinds of commercials. The only reason he makes such a big issue of that, is because the video is clearly directed at him and his moral point of view. Which to a lot of us is utterly skewed. |

![]() Anyways, it's clear that O'Reilly overreacted a lot, but he does have a point in that this child was clearly motivated by someone else to respond to his outburst.
