Making of the video and its vast display by media was criminal i suppose. posted by: Lindy (reply) post date: 01.04.07 (10:22 am) This is what happens when we choose as a society to display graphic things like the hanging of Saddam. When a child is confronted with the reality of such a horrific event, it tends to impact them in a hurtful manner, be it self inflicted pain or death, or desensitizing them to violence n general. People who display these kinds of images are as much at fault as the father due to negligence. Own it. It's not something someone else is doing. It's what you are doing. It's what everyone is doing when they choose to engage in such carelessness. posted by: doeeyed (reply) post date: 01.04.07 (11:28 am) I wouldn't watch it if you paid me to watch it! My son, who is 18 watched it online and I begged him not to. I left the room and later asked him how it made him feel. AWFUL was his response. I think he might listen to me next time. Why do you have it posted here for people to see? posted by: tfruge1 (reply) post date: 01.04.07 (12:41 pm) Reply to: doeeyed I don't blame you for watching it at all. It is very barbaric and inhuman in my opinion. I only have it here as a reference for all people who believe in the death penality so that maybe if they acutually witness what they are in favor of doing to another human being, it just might make them change their minds about just how inhuman this actually is. posted by: doeeyed (reply) post date: 01.04.07 (2:28 pm) Reply to: tfruge1 I don't blame you for watching it at all. It is very barbaric and inhuman in my opinion. I'm sure you meant, for NOT watching it..right? I'm not upset with you for posting it but, what Lindy said holds merit. If nobody posted it, then it wouldn't be viewed but, I understand your point too. It's sickening all the way around. I wish my son hadn't viewed it and so does he. posted by: jesusisangry (reply) post date: 01.05.07 (11:22 am) A few days ago some kid in texas did the same thing. He hanged himself from his bunk bed. posted by: Cutter (reply) post date: 01.06.07 (3:24 pm) I can play "devils advocate" here... I seem to be good at that. Maybe, after seeing what can happen if you follow your own moral code... to live by it... to see that if people disagree with you, you will be killed, she just gave up on life ever being kind to her. I don't know... maybe it's a stretch, but I can't say that at 15 I was a lot more positive about what life had in store for me. I'm anti-death penalty. Maybe it's a flaw of mine, maybe it's not, but I am. I'd much rather he'd have been locked up for life... or locked up until death, without any chance of commuicating with the outside world. posted by: babe4jesus55 (reply) post date: 01.09.07 (10:38 pm) I don't understand why the media thinks it necessary to broadcast such violence anyway. (Ok, yes I do; it brings in money.) That's all I see on TV anymore. Every show is about murders or other violent crimes (ok, not all, but a good deal and the rest are all reality tv which I also despise) and the only thing in the news is the violence in Iraq. Positive things do happen occasionally. |
