Not judgey, just unable to relate.

once you see the Nick Berg video you learn to avoid all sorts of things on the Internet. - Mel Profit Oct 21, 14:45
FWIW, it's mostly just yelling and shoving. Nothing overtly violent happens during it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 14:43
Indeed. But a few years ago, probably. I remember enjoying the Saddam video quite a bit. - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 21, 14:41 1
- You "enjoyed" it? - Trish Oct 21, 15:02
If you haven't seen it, you may be assuming it's worse than it is. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 14:24

to see the once untouchable and impervious brought low. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 13:49
Yeah, not clicking. - The Ruiner Oct 21, 13:48 10

  - never looked, never will. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:07
- is Lockerbie enough for you? -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 13:49 7
  - Enough to watch? No. I am glad he is gone, but no reason I am going to subject myself to that. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 21, 13:58 6
    - fair enough. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 13:59 5
      - I have no problem with people watching, just takes me places I don't want to go if I don't have to. -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 21, 14:00 4
        
        it's not for everyone, so I don't knock anyone who doesn't want to see it. But for me, it's a moment of history, I watched Hussein be hung - Remlik Oct 21, 14:04 3
        
        Check out Spanish news sometime (Univision, etc.). They do not even flinch at showing graphic footage like this. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 21, 14:21
        
        watching people die really really freaks me out. (but i can understand the 'why'.) -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 14:06 1
        
        I haven't decided if I will look. I have seen the death pictures. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:08
