    maybe, but we also have better further reaching media too.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Could it possible that this guy spends so much time in a state of virtual "kill mode" that it affects him even when he's not playing the game?
    haaa! seems unlikely, although these games are far more sophisticated than when I last bothered to notice so maybe you reminded him of some vietcong sniper he blasted to pieces the night before.

    Back in the mid 90s Jerry Springer was quite extreme, it´d be tame in comparison to what you see on television today. There is a thirst for conflict/bullying in all forms, the central premise of a show like Big Brother is to deprive men & women of their consciousness of freedom, thus they have no control other than their ability to exploit and manipulate their peers. It appeals to the lowest tendencies in human life, a Hell with no fundamental good. For sure through television instilled messages are pumped into the proletariat.

    Obviously there are countless factors you could include here, and it could be disputed whether there really is much diffeence from recent generations because as we all know the world has seen much worse than a couple of pimp-rolling, adolescent yung tugs stabbing each other up. ye´gt me!

    just gotta throw this out there as possible for food for thought in regard to this suject matter.....................

    is it that we desentized truly or have we become placid and just find what was once found as unacceptable as to our standards now a little more flexibile.

    do you think there are more of us who know what is considered normal and chose to be hopeless, thinking it'll never change?

    Something has to change.
    Un-deniable dilemma.
    Boredom's not a burden
    Anyone should bear.

    Constant over stimu-lation numbs me
    but I would not want you
    any other way.

    It's not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I don't want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

    Finger deep within the borderline.
    Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
    Relax, turn around and take my hand.

    I can help you change
    Tired moments into pleasure.
    Say the word and we'll be
    Well upon our way.

    Blend and balance
    Pain and comfort
    Deep within you
    Till you will not want me any other way.

    It's not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I don't want it.
    I just need it.
    To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

    Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
    This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to.
    Relax. Slip away.

    Something kinda sad about
    the way that things have come to be.
    Desensitized to everything.
    What became of subtlety?

    How can this mean anything to me
    If I really don't feel anything at all?

    I'll keep digging till
    I feel something.

    Elbow deep inside the borderline.
    Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
    Shoulder deep within the borderline.
    Relax. Turn around and take my hand.
