| btw - i just watched the Beck video above - and sorry, but I have to agree with him - for the most part.
Or - at least what I got out of what he was saying - and that's that these games and movies and tv shows do desensitize the kids. And well - everyone else too.
I mean, the WWI points about the human silloheuts are true - and come on, for those of us say 30 and up, how many of you would say you'd have any problem these days pulling the trigger on someone if you had a gun in hand and were being attacked?
Now try to think back 20 years (or 30 yrs for the even old ones like me) - do you think back then it would have been just as easy?? Not for me at least as it is today...
I know that *I* have been desensitized quite a bit to stuff / violence over the years - thankfully not enough to thoroughly rid me of conscience - but - probably more than I'd like to be right now. :-/
The stuff is out there - and I think it should be kept from kids. Just like when we were kids, porn, smoking, drinking and this kind of violence was kept from us. But again - I think that it's the PARENTS' job to do so. |
