so why do we always get a shock when we read horrible stories in the papers?
Surely we have gotten enough news to realise what human nature is capable of?
What are your thoughts on this?

I agree, things in the news cease to amaze and shock me anymore, although newspapers sensationalise and therefore they make stories sound as 'exciting' as they possibly can to make people feel shock or disgust. Although we all know people are capable of rape, murder and other crimes-it still touches a nerve as its an act most of us cant imagine ever carrying out.

Well i know all about what humans can do, and though i should not be shocked by what i see and read, i still am !.
I don't think its the shock of what people do so much now rather than the suffering they can cause to others, that always seems to shock and upset me !!.

i do agree with you. about designing and creating new things, there is almost no more excitation and no more shock(although some rare times it happens again, but RARELY).
but about what people can do, i think there is no stop. no end. what ever you hear in news, is not shocking any more to you, cause you have fallen into the habit of hearing them.
good luck

We just love to see what crazy antics those zany terrorists will get up to next. It's hard for us to believe they can outdo 9/11, but give them time.

I gave up reading the newspapers years ago because I could not believe anything in them to the point that when it says that it is 20th of may for instance I would have to check my calendar!

I though I would agree with you, but then again new things do happen, but to different degrees. Sometimes worse sometimes not as bad.

That's an unfortunate fact of lfe, and a very adult attitude.
