[QUOTE=ghostfais;22070236]i mean as far as trying to gross each other out and going for shock value[/QUOTE]
Yes we can. You have no idea how brutal ancient cultures were.
Seeing a criminal being flayed alive wasn't considered shocking. It was considered a form entertainment. Parents brought their children to see this.
and all thats happened now is that we hide our guilty pleasures, our horror movies are literally just tits and gore, no storyline is any better than another, and if it is, the gore and tits lack in comparison, i truly dont see a difference, just governments being less hardcore
have you guys seen the movie idiocracy? I think thats whats gonna happen
exactly! porn and idiocy are on the rise, the violence is meh...
Internet is probably the most reasonable answer. Of course, even shakespear has a lot of sexual jokes in his writing, you just can't understand it without a translation.

The avatar fits perfectly.
Also, why you guys are fucked up, I could point at 4chan for the reason, but I would be late.
And also, it's probably the fact how anonymous the internet is. Anyone can be someone else. Be a complete dick and get banned, yet also be a family man in real life.
[QUOTE=Larry_G;22066769]Same.
Thanks for that, Encyclopedia Dramatica.[/QUOTE]
The only thing that's actually bothered me was the old Offended page... It's not half as bad any more.. Though it has sort of changed my views on certain things.
So gladiatorial battles weren't fucked up? This is where people would go to a show to see people DIE and kill each other.
Rome was the epitome of fucked up, you shouldn't diss us like that OP.

Seeing some dumb blonde chick die in a horror movie is Nothing like seeing a person die in real life.

I'm sure I can change that immunity[/QUOTE]
I'm not trying to be badass, i'm just saying what the internet does to you if you go about it the wrong way.
Internet, but we can't live without it.

Very true. They don't show it the way it really is. It's horrible, trust me. :colbert:
Closest I've seen to reality is Wade's death in Saving Private Ryan. And even that is somewhat sanatized.

That was brutal and that is so toned down. My friend saw a dead body in the bike lane and said it was much worse than seeing someone die on TV.
:emo:
I don't really care what direction humanity goes....I know it won't be idiocracy or more violent because thats just not how our genetics, psychology and physiology work. Science in general says we're going in the right direction so, shut up.
[QUOTE=Proj3ct_ZeRo;22064658]Compared to earlier "simpler" times we are seriously fucked up, me and my work mates were enjoying some food at an all night bakery after work as we usually do, and the conversation jumped between topics as they always do, but I found that some of the content definatly would be refused classification in Aus.
And I found it hilarious, ripping on one of our mates for "jacking off over blood and raping corpses" to another person for "having a girl disolving in a barrel in his backyard" just some of the mind bogoling conversation topics we discuss and generally laugh about.
Of course we are just joking around, but we really are so desensitized to these things, it makes you wonder.. what will the next generation of people be like? so detached from humanity as to not even care for others? we care for our loved ones, but barely at all for others. SO im sitting here at 3 AM thinking that we are really fucked up lol.[/QUOTE]
I recommend you to see the film Blade Runner, it's about trying to tell the difference between a biological engineered humanoid and a real human, and the only way to tell the difference between them was to cause an emotional reaction on them to see if they were really human or not.
We like violence and brutality because we're animals, simple as that
