What desensitizes kids to violence - and to bad behavior and too many other things is these crappy modern cartoons where there are no consequences to anything. Nobody suffers when they do something wrong. Violence all around, and nobody gets hurt. Kids in the show do something wrong, and the worst that happens is somebody talks to them. In the old cartoons, when a character did something stupid and dangerous, they got blown up or fell off a mountain or something. When a kid in an old cartoon did something wrong, he got spanked. People watching those cartoons saw actual stories that showed doing the wrong thing caused suffering - they learned from cartoons that actions have consequences. Now, kids grow up with subconcious beliefs that there are no comebacks because they grow up watching 30-minute product advertisements where the only bad thing that happens to anyone is turning on the TV.
