Seeing something fake happening to someone compared to seeing something real happening to someone of no value - its not a huge difference.
Unless you start getting into hard-core caste systems, that concept doesn't exist--particularly in the West.
Of course it's true. If you can't see the difference between images of a building getting blown up and watching people cut each other to pieces or get ripped to pieces by animals--up close and personal--then your perspective on life is pretty skewed.Dilbert_X wrote:

In blurry black and white but thats not the point.
And no-one gives a shit if NFL players get their limbs mangled or their brains hammered - it also makes for great TV.
It always is, same with horror films, 2 girls 1 cup etc, and yet they go back or watch it over, again and again.It's normally a reaction of disgust/turning away from the image
Smells, for one. Or did you think people being rended to pieces was antiseptic?Dilbert_X wrote:
It wouldn't have been 'up close and personal' seeing someone die from half a stadium away.
Because you often don't see the detail that you would even see from "half a stadium away." It dehumanizes the context.Why do people so enjoy seeing those cross-hairs and then the kaboom?
Again: people know horror films aren't real.It always is, same with horror films, 2 girls 1 cup etc, and yet they go back or watch it over, again and again.It's normally a reaction of disgust/turning away from the image

can actually act too. one of the rare instances of someone playing two completely different versions of the same character in one scene and having it work.Turquoise wrote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_movementThe LaRouche movement is an international political and cultural network that promotes Lyndon LaRouche and his ideas. It has included scores of organizations and companies around the world. Their activities include campaigning, private intelligence gathering, and publishing numerous periodicals, pamphlets, books, and online content. It characterizes itself as a Platonist Whig movement which favors re-industrialization and classical culture, and which opposes what it sees as the genocidal conspiracies of Aristotelian oligarchies such as the British Empire. Outsiders characterize it as a fringe movement and it has been criticized from across the political spectrum.
