What? Desensitised to violence? Moi? Try that again, punk, and I'll give you a knuckle pitta!

I don't think the internet affects how I react to voilence; I never look at violent content online.

TV and videogames do have an effect, I think. A lot of the videogames I play have fairly cartoonish violence (Spyro, Crash, Jak & Daxter, WipEout [to an extent; we never see anyone getting hurt even though it's not cartoonish], Oddworld [no blood or screams of agony or anything even though there are lots of beatings and shootings, and nobody seems to take that much pain], Vib Ribbon), but there's lots of it.
We also see so much violence in the news; it seems to be actually a part of modern society. A lot of the people at my school are sadly impervious to wit, pleas or reason and hitting somebody is the only form of retaliation they know. *can't wait to go to college where everyone behaves like and is treated like adults*.
