Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

Well that's convenient because I wasn't talking about those either.

References nothing to do with the, 'release of neurons.' Perhaps because neurons are these things:

http://www2.cedarcrest.edu/academic/...nus-neuron.gif

And occur in a large computational web which makes up the basic circuitry of your brain.

Also, the person in that paper writes like a retard.

Tells me nothing about the research he's trying to talk about, it's a sentence loaded with almost zero information and some empty platitudes. And there's so much shit like that in there that I have trouble crediting him with any sort of a degree.

Besides which his research doesn't draw a distinction between harmonic/disharmonic music in the first place and can't really be used to support your claim that way. At some points he flirts with relevance but it escapes him with such frequency one is forced to question whether he was even trying to support the same point as yourself. What there is of it tends to support that idea that it's not the nature of the music that causes a certain biological change anyway, but how a person has been conditioned to respond to it.

I'll magically track them down with my mysterious psychic powers in order to extract another sub-par answer. Er, no.

I'd have found more of the same poorly referenced crap which claims that certain doctors have done mysterious research in some unknown year to find a certain thing without giving me the statistics or the year of the study or access to any non-interested third party where I can reference them. With that level of referencing I can put up a website on the internet and claim anything, any qualifications I like, invent any references I like. You want a claim to be taken seriously you have to put something of slightly higher calibre on the table than some poorly written website that doesn't list sources or statistics or procedures. You've provided me with, 'Well this guy *points finger into thin air* said so!' That's not science, that's not even a real argument.

ad hominem (plural ad hominems)

(logical fallacy) A fallacious objection to an argument or factual claim by appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim; an attempt to argue against an opponent's idea by discrediting the opponent himself.

This is the stupidest passage claiming to be 'science' that I've ever heard. The only place I can find science in that is the last bit about the coagulation of a liquid, which if you know anything about science has nothing to to do with "that nasty rock and roll music!"

Dude, this is the 21st century, not the 1950's. You're about 60 years late.

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

Yes:rolleyes:.

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

No, music is not to blame for violence in our world.
People are.

Music, films, games, whatever people are going to blame next, is in no way responsible for inspiring violent acts between humans.

I watch many different types of films, listen to various types of music, play different games and genres of games, basicly I have an ecclectic taste in film, music and games.
I've never been left angry, or wanting to commit violence, because of them.

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

I believe it's not a scientific as it was probably taken from a paper for a music degree.

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

Which means it's probably full of crap and not true.

Just wanted to point out that the first article you linked suggested rock music weakens your muscles, the second one suggests it tenses your muscles, and the third one suggests if you listen to music too much you get fat. So... wait, what's your point?

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

The dozens of emo goth teens who spend their days eating nothing and listening to death metal disprove this point particularly well. =p

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

About a third of that makes sense. So, I hope you don't mind if I don't take anything from that other than a lesson on how not to write a scientific report.

There are certain reactions which require acoustic energy as an activator. However, the passage doesn't say which proteins, in what liquid, and under which frequencies and energies. But just to let you know, it does happen.

So you're saying that everyone who ever wrote a fugue is just wasting their time after the first minute or so?

Is there any such thing as a 'stopped anapestic beat'?!

Yeah, okay... :rolleyes:

You do realize that a lot of Dr. Seuss is written in anapestic meter, right? Therefore, you are saying that reading "Green eggs and ham" in children causes behavior problems?

I'm pretty sure the plural is 'ad homines', the plural accusative of the third-declension word 'homo'.

:vikki:

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

That was the part I believed, but it certainly doesn't support his point in any way.

Re: Is music to blame for all the violence in our World?
 

Not even close. Pretty sure the Crusaders didn't listen to death metal, or the barbarians listen to rap.
