It pisses me off that our society glorifies pieces of literature that involve people brutally murder people especially when they are too young to make their own decision about it. Honestly the most disturbing part about the Hunger Games is that the group of trained 18 year olds from the first two districts went around mocking the people that had pleaded for their lives moments before they murdered them. It's just down right messed up that someone could take that much pleasure in killing something.
That's the point isn't it? Also look at world war two, nobody gave a fuck who was getting bombed. The Romans did it for entertainment, so that's why it can be believed. Also its fiction so its not real per say. Seriously most Americans would never allow this, we would rather die then become a dictatorship.
