...yeah the romans and aztecs and whoever else did some barbaric things, but OUR culture is not structured the same way...thus the need for some level of sensitivity and compassion.

I know that I am desensitized. I can't watch gory shit on TV because I never was exposed to that, but if someone was standing next to me and got shot or stabbed, I probably wouldn't flinch. I've just been around it a lot and if it affected me like things I don't have to deal with daily affect me, I'd probably be a mess.

Which makes me wonder, why do we inflict desensitation upon ourselves? I'm sorry but I know that the shit I've witnessed has made me cold in some aspects, and I'd be happy (relatively so) to trade with sometime who gets affected by ugly things. Why, when in a decent setting do people expose themselves to ugliness?

I dunno...it just pains me to see kids starting to wear hoochie mama clothes because of the visuals that are accepted in society...and no one raises an eyebrow about it....yadda yadda yadda.
