recently my friend sent me the video of nick berg, the person who was beheaded and was all over the media in 2004. I couldn't stand watching the video it was too graphic for me and thinking about it just shocks me. so i have a question for you OT, can u withstand watching these graphic videos????? do u get nightmares afterwards?fighter91
I saw that video. It sucked, but I didn't lose sleep over it or anything.
You can say that maybe I was desensitized by movies and games. But alternatively, how else am I supposed to react? I commonly hear on the news about innocent people getting raped, shot, or blown the **** up. And when a hurricane hits my area I say "pfft, this hurricane was nothing" even though the exact same hurricane previously killed a couple hundred CUBANS before hitting the USA. Hurricane Katrina was a tragedy because it happened in the USA. But we fairly commonly hear about similar and often FAR worse things happening in other countries and continents, and that **** stays in my mind for a week at most. Oh, a huge ****ing tsunami came out of nowhere and killed a HELL of a lot of people and completely ****ed up entire COUNTRIES? Okay then, I'll donate $5 so that I can forget about the whole thing and feel good about myself because I did something to help.
My point is, yes I can watch these kjinds of things. I generally don't WANT to watch these things, but doing so usually doesn't disturb me that much because the bad things aren't happening to the people in My Circle. I assume that it's one thing to be in the trenches with your best friend and seeing his head explode while he's trying to say something to you, but another thing to turn on the news and see a story about how some dude in some other country had his head exploded while he was lying in a trench with his best friends.
