You're desensitized, which means society has increase the enevolope psychologically to entertain you.


I don't agree. I still cry like a little girl whenever I watch Cast Away. Or The Iron Giant.


What does that have to do with horror and violence?


Desensibilization doesn't apply to one area. It affects you on the whole.


I said desensitization not desensibilization. Desensitization does apply to specific stimuli, not all. Having sex is different seeing sex and witnessing or involving ones self in murder and seeing murder (even opposed to virtual murder) are two different stimuli opposed to two different extremes to related stimuli just first hand rather than simulated. If you include both in the process you've desensitized both, if not only one area is desentized. It is based upon experience. Even in the bible in the fall of Adam and Eve when they were banished from the garden of eden they were desensitized, therefore losing their innocence and immortality in what is known as the Fall of Man.
