New forum theme up and running!
Originally posted by AlmeidabooAt law school I have this subject that, in a rough translation, would be called "legal medicine". We study the many kinds of injury a person can suffer and die from, so that in a scene of crime we know how to identify how was the person killed. That implies that I see slides every class. Every Thursday I see smashed, cut in half, blown, splattered people. I see things that are beyond recognition, like real meat packs that you can`t recognize. I've even seen a guy who liked to masturbate with a broom stick, by hanging in a tree and sticking it in his anus, and that obviously fell and died because the stick went up in his body until the height of his neck.And even though I could look at those pics with academic eyes, not letting emotion get in the way or whatsoever.But...this video shocked me beyond expected. I never felt so bad in my whole life. I never felt so much nausea out of something that isn`t actually happening in front of my eyes. And I never felt so disgusted about people.Seriously, this is the first time I ever wanted USA to do some bad Nuclear bombing in a country again.I don`t regret seeing it, though I wish from the bottom of my heart that I didn`t have to know how horrible it is, how cruel people can be and how blinding religion can become.This should never be threated as old news.Anyone else feels bad because you feel, even indirecly, responsible for other human beings acts? No one feels that you have the duty to educate the next one when you see they`re clearly lost all rationality?Y`know...all this girl did was fall in love. And what is that? It is a rare moment when a human being leaves his sphere of selfishness, his little kingdom to actually think about someone else. Make the next one happy, just for the sake of it.And a bunch of ______________(fill this blank space if you can define things like those monsters) stone a person to death for falling in love, for caring for someone that doens`t share the same religion.Tell me something: how far can you take the "Culture" excuse? It`s a different culture! Does that seem right to you?Extreme sadness.
Originally posted by DaetyrnisI actually started watching the video, but there was a such a crowd in the shot that you couldn't even see anything; so I closed it, it wasn't worth trying hard to see something like that.It's not the religion, it's not that she loved someone; it's violent people being violent. This happens all the time, and they will find something to blame.
Originally posted by MidnightExactly.. and I've watched stuff like this before.. I mean, what can I do from new york? Not much. I can say that it's fucked up and that there are some messed up people in this world, but not much else will come from it. It's hard to change other cultures, ect.. because they've had those traditions for a LONG time. For us "outsiders" it's unusual, but to them it's natural. We all have views on what's right and what's wrong ya know? And Almei, leave america outta this for once <<;;

By using religion as an excuse for violence, these people are just adding fueling the opinion that religion is a bad thing. Honestly, religious people should be promoting understanding.The trouble is that people sometimes use anything they can as an excuse to kill someone just because they like hurting people. Football violence, for example.Football isn't about violence. And yeah, this is pretty bad, don't care to actully watch it. People can twist religeon in many ways to just get what they want. [/B]
