    You know what this video is, though.
    If you click on the link you will see that it is.
    If you don't wish to view, fair enough.

    I had a friend like that.
    I've probably see the same video.
    I wouldn't post anything like that.

    I did click on the link just to look at the site. The video wouldn't play for me anways for some reason and I'm quite fine with that.

    It really doesn't sound like a credible site.

    Yea, that's what I meant. Although this part is true;

    What a strange coincidence. I'm not saying it's anything more than that. Just, what are the odds?

    They didn't need to include "curiously". They're supposed to deliver news. They shouldn't be telling people how to think or how to interpret the news. At least Fox tries to cover this up by only having their reporters suggest it in their tone of voice.

    See Videodrome. It's already happened in real life too.

    I was reading an article which had emails from the shooters classmate who said he was a big problem in class, as he kept disrupting it. This was a high school and college classmate, and it was back in 2007. So this guy has been crazy since then.

    Also, this guy had already met the Congresswoman and was pissed off at her, so I really think she was the target. Those others who were on stage with her were probably not advertised, and so the shooter only had one target in mind before the actual event.

    My question is: What drugs was he on? Had he been given anti-depressants? Had been taking them? Obviously he had a mental disorder that wasn't being properly treated. And I REALLY, REALLY doubt he was "just" a pothead. As usual in these cases there are pharmaceuticals involved...

    Regarding Judge Roll who received death threats two years ago:
    I hear he liked to eat at McDonalds too. So McDonalds is responsible for his actions...

    True. How many shows are on tv or videos on youtube of people getting fucked up while skateboarding, biking, etc. And high speed police chases that end in crashes. Those have been on tv since the beginning of the 90s. It's only a matter of time. There's already numerous sites out there of real snuff videos. If you ever come across a video of Saddam Hussein getting hung (/hanged, I'm not sure of the proper term) look at how many views it has...

    That's a good point. That reminds me of that wrestler last year who supposedly was fed mushrooms without knowing it and he flipped out and killed and ate his friend. Right, mushrooms did it... Unfortunately the mass of people who hear that and are unfamiliar with mushrooms won't know any better.

    Pot doesn't make people kill people (besides drug related violence), at least not as a side effect. This kid was obviously mentally disturbed and was likely on some sort of medication. He was in the military, perhaps they should look into that. I'm not saying that's what fucked him up, but there might be something there.

    People hurting their nuts on a hand-rail=People being killed on live TV? Mmmm, if TV is still around in 1000 years and there are no regulatory bodies covering taste and decency. Perhaps.

    The point is that people enjoy watching others get hurt. Or they enjoy seeing grotesque things, I'm not really sure. Why did you post that video Odon? Surely my statement has some semblance of truth to it.

    Why do gorey movies sell so well? People are curious, perhaps that's why you posted the video. At any rate, I do think it's only a matter of time until that kind of thing becomes more popular. There's always the next thing. 60 years ago if someone had said, "One day there'll be people fucking on tv and there'll be entire movie theatres dedicated to fuck films," someone would have called that person crazy.

    LOL! I believe porn movies were invented the day after movies were...

    Porn videos were invented the day after the video recorder was (or perhaps the same day).

    Porn on the Internet was invented WAY, WAY before the World Wide Web was. Dialup modems to ISPs to download porn was already the #1 application of the Internet at the birth of the WWW.

    It's true.

    A few weeks ago I went and saw a movie in 3D. Within one minute of the movie starting I instantly thought, "people fucking in 3d, that's the future!" Can't fight human instinct.

    And actually I've heard from numerous places that things like anti-virus/firewalls, those kinds of things were largely invented and used by pornsites as a way to have secure pages for clients to view and pay for porn over the internet when it was still a baby. A lot of porn sites went/go out of their way to create really safe sites.

    I didn't post it because I enjoy seeing grotesque things.
    You seemed like you didn't believe it was true.
    I posted the link to show you it was.
    I purposely found a site that had some written details and a video that you had to choose to play.

    I know the types of programmes that show people having eye-watering accidents also make sure the people are ok in the end.
    If some idiot wants to skate off a high wall and then wonder why their legs might wrap around their head, and video's all of this, then I might as well get a little giggle from it. No real harm done.
    It doesn't mean I want to watch poor, innocent people having their throats cut, thank you very much.
    Those types of videos will not make it onto TV anytime soon
    Unless TV becomes like the Internet: Regulatory standards abandoned.

    It was no different than me posting an article making a point or providing some evidence.
    It was in context, imho.
    I wasn't throwing the video around the forum for peoples amusement/sick pleasure.

    There are not many genres of films, really.
    Some years a majority like cartoons other years it's gore films.
    I don't think it indicates a trend.
    You're basically saying people shouldn't like gory films.

    On mainstream TV you'll get a bit of soft-core porn, yes.
    TV isn't as prudent, true.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpZffBDCUKI"]YouTube - "SEX IN THE CINEMA" (Watch in HD!)
    Sex= rolling around on a bed with no clothes on with no scenes of penetration.

    I think there were a few cinemas like that 60 years ago.

    This is nothing new. The ancient Romans loved to watch the Gladiators kill each other, and also paid to watch christians get fed to lions. That was the beginning of the end of Roman civilization, if you can really call it that. Once people accept the idea that it's fun to watch other people suffer and die, things tend to go downhill fast.

    But getting back to the original topic, I wonder what kind of people the killer's parents are. He's been living at home, and nothing has been said about them. They had to know he was a nut. If you had a scary, creepy kid living with you, would you let him keep a gun? :eek: Would you give him enough money to buy a gun? I would say no to both.
