Sometimes, in our little fantasy world here, we forget that reality is out there and that it's not always a pretty sight. Perhaps this man did not die in vain. His death may be just what is needed to make Americans passionate about this war on terror again. I've got a couple videos of September 11th footage that I've saved on my computer and watch every few weeks. I refuse to forget the things that they've done to us and I vow to do my best to defend this country.
I agree with you Dave. As long as there is a clear warning of the content I do not think there is a problem. Regardless if people want to see it they will find it.

Re: Beheading Video

I've got the video, bit I can't decide if I'm gonna watch it yet or not... probably will.

On a side note, that guy Nick Burg, is from my home town, West Chester, PA (a fairly small suburban county seat). West Chester also brought you the entire cast of MTV's "Jackass"... We're just all about sick videos, huh...

Re: Beheading Video

Whats with the hoods? Cowards if you ask me. I have yet to actually watch the beheading. I watched up until that point and could not continue. I may finish it, but dunno.

Re: Beheading Video

I watched the entire thing.. and I will tell you that it sickens me.. I guess seeing all the gory stuff out here in the field from car wrecks and fires or whatever is one thing... but watching this where you have men disguising themselves then murdering a man in such a brutal manor is different. It literally sickens me... I'm almost to the point where turning that area over there into a huge sheet of glass is not such a bad idea... but the innocents over there would suffer as well.... I dunno...

Re: Beheading Video

Remember: this is a tactic designed to provoke an over-response that drives a wedge between the population and the troops. It is cold-blooded.

We get such a "watered down" version of what really goes on in the world it's like we are all given blinders when it comes to the news and real global events.
I have watched the video and I'll admit that it provoked more in me than I thought it would. I honestly have no idea what to say so I'll go with Eternal. F*ck me, what a sh1tty planet we live on.

The links are everywhere for that video folks.. google it if you must see.
Ditto.. I saw it about 2-3 months ago. That video is exactly what will keep me from seeing this one. It killed my curiosity <pardon the pun>. Let the man's death be a uplifter of conscience... not a circus freak show.

I'm sure it's been said, so you'll have seen this a dozen times by the time you read mine... BUT.. to do that would take us down to the terrorists level. Their are many people there that just want to live their lives peacefully, who bear us no ill will, and DO NOT deserve our contempt.

ok i dont agree at this stage with blowing up the whole country, or the arab countries. but here is a serious thought. the average size family in iraq is about 7-8 and in the usa 2-3 chilldren this is... when if we cannot get this sorted now do we actually start looking at whehter we want to be taken over by the people you have seen on that video.

its a matter of when not if, then what?

if we cant get it sorted while they are controllable then what happens when there are too many, i know this sounds incredably facist but you saw the video and thaty is the culture, what happens when????

Your argument only holds true if the average family in Iraq's culture is terrorism.

you people are unbelievable, you are seriously telling me that you would have a problem with elicit sex being put on TG with a clear warning but decapitating is all well and good. please ask yourself one thing. what it more harmful to a young impressionable person who is free to browse this forum and look at the link. huh?

two people having sex, something that ok yes shouldnt be viewed by minors but get a life anyone who tells me they waited till they were 18 is lying.

or images that civilised countries do not watch any more because they are far more dangerous to the public at large. so far you have seen this video and people are talkingg about nuking civillians and displaying very angry resonses. now look at this kind of response comming from an undeveloped imature mind, what are the consequences then.

you americans are prudish, and you get all up tight about jannet jacksons nipple because your child saw it but you have no quams about leaving images like this in a forum with a mere warning, a warning that a 12 year old will shrug off and say yeah ok whatever and view it anyway. dont say you didnt do it when you were younger when you saw pornography on the internet how many read the disclaimer or whatever.

its total hypocracy and its wrong. i disagree with showing both kinds of images. and i am astounded that this is not being shouted out across the board, this should not go on the TG forumn.
