    Default Do movies/v.games desensitize us to violence?

    This is one topic that experts are ALWAYS pointing at whenever the issue of violence in our streets comes up. They say that because we watch violence from a young age in movies, witnessing 1000's of murders on television before we are even 18, and 10,000's of "assaults", we are more likely to go out and do it ourselves, or less likely to care that it's happening in the world....

    I personally think it's bullshit..

    I mean look at the most violent countries regions in the world.. 99% of their population probably doesn't even know what a Playstation is.
    Close to billions of people over the course of history have been killed because of someone elses religious beliefs.. From history alone, the bible has incited a million times more violence and death than any video game or movie could dream of..
    Violence has gone on for 100,000's more years than video games have, and the civilized countries where video games are most used, are probably the least violent....

    Do you think video games or movies have desensitized you?
