What does force or choice have to do with influence? You can't seem to focus on the question.

BTW, this all began with tejek posting offensive material and then attributing racism to me because I did not respond.

I suppose I could use you response to tejek. "Hey, if you don't like racism, don't listen." Which sounds a bit ludicrous, don't you think?" yet, Hollywood sends out message after message encouraging and glorifying war, racism, sexism, etc. Seems a bit hypocritical not to confront Hollywood for something like "Pretty Woman". Movies like like denigrate women to the extreme. Young girls are the prime targets for those type of movies and are easily influenced in the teen years.
