That's one reason I don't play violent video games (or watch overly violent films). I've always been way sensitive in that way.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-29034021128774968922019-07-26T05:07:15.460-06:002019-07-26T05:07:15.460-06:00I didn't know this was happening.

Writing horror, I've had to do some gruesome research in the past, and sometimes gone a little too far that I've had to switch off. I don't think I can ever be desensitized to anything like that.DRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-53118780757482663132019-07-25T16:34:37.784-06:002019-07-25T16:34:37.784-06:00This is so sad.

I do know there are a few military programs that use violent video games to help desensitize some soldiers. In the long run? I believe that making extreme violence entertaining will result with more sick and violent people in our society, and that's not good.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-31311756834116700252019-07-24T09:01:05.225-06:002019-07-24T09:01:05.225-06:00That would be pretty terrible but to play Republic...That would be pretty terrible but to play Republican's advocate no one is forcing them.
