ART, although I agree with you when you put it in terms of media, I disagree that video games specifically have the effect of desensitizing. I think the only things video games have desensitized in me are violence in video games. Blood and gore in video games is nothing like that in movies or on tv. I've played video games all my life and I can't stand the sight of blood (except in video games of course). I have to look away at shows on basic cable that show people getting plastic surgery. I freak out and have nightmares for a week if I ever see a clip of a real person dieing (like the nick berg clip...even thinking about will surely give me a nightmare tonight). I am only one person though, I can't speak for all who play video games. So through my own experiences is where I get my stand on that.
