Most films center around some sort of drama, and physical violence is of course often a part of that. What about going to see a play like 'The Merchant of Venice', put on by live actors? What about reading history books about past wars? All of these could arguably fall in to a similar category. We view or read these things and as our minds focus in on the screenplay, drama, or story in the book we become emotionally involved, intellectually stimulated and all the rest that comes with paying attention to such things. Is the general consensus still the same as regards these things?
I'm still not fully convinced of there needing to feel personally responsibility in these cases, nor even of the first examples- but am still quite interested to hear your thoughts. To those who are following this thread but not responding- please chip in!

any kind of consciousness focused/spent on anything, will make its reality a higher probability, or strengthen its presence if its present in current reality.
reading history books about the past wars, and visualising them, would make their memories sharper, and more likely to be remembered in time/space. not just for you. and, would probably act as a channel/portal for remanifesting the thoughts/feelings that were present at the time and situation that those wars had happened.
longing for anything in those history books, would make a push for that kind of situation to happen, in the manner of mindset/general feeling of the situation.

engaging in pvp combat in world of warcraft online game, would discharge any kind of emotion/desire that is present in the participating players, but on the other hand, strengthen the presence of such acts in the planetary mind.
