It's not just video games that desensitize us to the horrors of war. Turn to any major network around 8-9pm on a weekday and you will see one of those CSI shows where murder investigators walk around a terribly mangled body, crack jokes and focus on some suspicious looking powder on the victim's collar almost as if the burned, dismembered or scarred corpse shown in full view is not even there. My 4 year old nephew is still awake at that time and I have to be conscious of what channel is on TV. I'm almost semi-convinced that they are training us all to become apathetic to those images so we can go to war one day. Ironically the networks then go and blur out Kate Winslet's nipples in Leonardo Dicaprio's DRAWING when they screen Titanic. I guess murder is more natural than sexuality :S
