Poepl do tend to get desensitized to a great number of things these days. We are over-stimulated, we get too much information from too many sources, we get desentsitized because we have been exposed to so much that we lose the ability to feel.

It's why gore, porn, substance abuse, reality tv, and many other things are so prevalent and available these days. 1, the technology exists to make it easily available, 2, the law of supply and demand has created a huge "requirement" for it all.
