It's too brutally horrible for anyone to see.
In fn credible.
No split here. As long as any society imposes public execution/amputation/torture upon children, that society will reap the horrific implications thereof. And export the results to America. It should not be very difficult to condemn such behavior. Any human being that finds themselves in a conundrum regarding cultivating barbarism within their own society, or even any other human society; might do well with some moral introspection. IMHO
I am beginning to sound like a perverted @sshole here when I say you ain't heard or seen anything like in the Nepali being beheaded in Iraq.
You say you heard the gurgling sounds in the Russian soldier video, well in the one about the Nepali, the whole freakin' voice box pops out and moves involuntarily, all the while making squealing and wheezing sounds. Guaranteed to make even a decent Muslim turn against Islam. Don't watch it, it will damage you permanantly.
Follow my advice: DON'T WATCH IT.
lol.....alright, I won't.
Laughs aside, I am serious. You may need therapy if you watch it.
These b@stards know nothing about appreciating or even valuing life. Even their flags are all dark, green and black, with swords and gore adorning everything. A true hellish culture.
Just can't wait for someone to come up with a substitute for petrol.
What in the name of good sense does all that have to do with being against showing children beheadings?
Save some smelling salts for yourself Tim doggie.
Such a simple question, and I couldn't answer, 'cept, There is evil in the world, and you must be able to differentiate it from good.
Video and audio aint jack. You really have to smell, taste, and yes feel the whole thing to gain an appreciation. I still contend that it is not appropriate for any child, and most adult humans. Evil exists in this world. That is no reason to impose the "experience" of evil upon children, or other humans. I certainly never asked to experience unspeakable evil events firsthand.
Unlike the slow, torturous sawing you see in the terrorist snuff films which are deliberately intended to shock the audience and cause much pain and agony to the victim.
Either way, children should not be watching them. I saw Berg's death and I wish I hadn't. :(
Like I mentioned earlier, they are one sick bunch of an excuse for a culture. If hell exists, that's the kind of culture you can expect in it.
Children should only be allowed to watch the execution of children.
It was the title of the article. I just kind of went with it.
Evil exists. There are even people within our culture that promote evil. To deny or ignore this does not make it go away. The same as Eucalyptus in our nostrils masks the smell of death; it does not make death go away. It simply inhibits a human reaction for the short term so that we may do what is necessary at the moment. Then hours or days later we will vomit and scream, as is natural.
How long ago was it that the last public hanging took place in the US? There was a time when these were done in the town square, for all to watch. Did they check ID to see who was old enough to see the show?
How about the last lynching? Some of these were pretty public affairs, and I don't think they kept kids away.
Just off the top of my head I would guess that there were public lynchings into the 1950s and maybe even later.
My point is that less than 50 years ago the US engaged in much the same behavior.
It does not make the spectacle correct social behavior. I believe that executions should be publicised, but not compulsory for citizen personal attendance. Other than the judge and jury. The judge and jury must be compelled to attend in the event of a death penalty IMHO. I have served on a jury that involved a capitol crime.
should kids be allowed to strap bombs around their chests while going to the market?
Depends on their age. I think at around 16, the beheadings might be allowed with appropriate permission and the right educational context. I don't think we need to show it to five year olds.
They're not deranged. They're not animals. It's their culture and has served them for generations and such things (and worse) have been witnessed by children for millennia. The species survived just fine.
