Shocking confession

I think all this talk about our culture desensitizing us to violence is bullshit also. Less than 80 years ago we had public executions in the US. 99.99% of people can differentiate between fantasy and real violence, those people will always be fucked up and sterilizing the violence out of culture won't make any difference.

I think there is a huge difference between seeing people brutally murdered in front of you and killing a load of people for brownie points on a computer war game. Public executions certainly didn't desensitize people to think it was okay, gradually killing more and more people on a computer game or seeing it in movies, there is certainly more of an argument to say that is desensitizing as opposed to public executions of people.
