I know what you're saying. Its just that in this era of 24h rolling news I just feel 'shock fatigue'. Im genuinely concerned that its been a long time since a read something like the quoted story and was genuinely shocked. Now all it doses is elicit a slight tut, a shrug of the shoulders and then me going off to click the next link......and I think *that* is more shocking than anything else. I suspect I'm not alone in this....

I agree. I just don't think it's in everyone's nature to be 'nice' and do the 'right thing'. It's just what's expected. I also agree with Visage about the worrying about not feeling shock. We're becoming almost immune to these things now, and that's the most worrying thing of all imo.
