I admit to feeling more awe than shock when I saw footage of 911 for the first time.

Thankfully I have a conscience that was strong enough to check that feeling...

But that initial feeling of awe... the one that Aniki alludes to is something that could only have come about through desensitization to violence and things blowing up in my opinion.
If you really believe that is true: that you are desensitized to reality because of the violent movies and video games you play, then I weep for the future.
