You know that's why they can't show the two Aeroplanes crashing into the World Trade Centre anymore. Because they were afraid that to many people were getting desensitised to the image. It reminds me on a fable I heard once.
There was a man in the Vietnam War. He came across a little girl who had died of a Bomb attack. He said it was the worse thing he had saw in his life. Then a couple hundred meters later he came across two dead children. "That's terrible" he though. "How could anyone do such a thing"? Another couple hundred metres he came across 5 dead children, dead from similar ways as the first. "That's awful", and he walked on. Then another couple of metres later he came across 10 dead children. "That's bad,” he thought. Another couple of hundred meters later he saw 20 dead children, killed the same way the first was killed. "That's war I suppose,” He thought to himself.
So you see if you get use to it then your going to get desensitised to it. And as much as you know that things are wrong, you fail to care because you have seen it all before.
