I stopped watching GoT because it was so sociopathic.

Violence in the name of good isn't disturbing (see WW2 or Noble Knights in a movie)

but cruel violence as shown in GoT or Walking Dead is quite disturbing.


By GoT you don't mean Game of Thrones do you....lol there are sociopath characters, but I have a hard time seeing the show in its enitrity as being sociopathic. Since there are lots of characters that aren't really....yeah it wouldn't really be game of thrones if they took out all the nasty characters.

Because the Iliad, Dede Korket, the Norse Sagas and the Talmud are all entirely free from violence.

People like violence. I'm people. I like violence. :twisted:
