Then next time there is a graphic video, I am not going to watch it

[Haole Girl]

I am making that promise to myself.

:cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Haole Girl...

I'm sorry you had to learn that one the hard way, sweetie...

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

2. She was just a student... protesting with her father...

so young & pretty.

:cry:

[Texasgal]

3. Yeah, that happed to me once here on DU.

It was the video of the journalist being behaded. :cry:

I swore to never watch another video again. It was horrible.

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

4. Nick Berg

Yes. I couldn't sleep after watching it. The screams were every bit as haunting.

:hug:

[Texasgal]

5. I literally had to take a shower

after watching it. I felt so dirty... and just disgusted and yes... horrified. I had dreams for weeks after as well.

I'm sorry you watched this last one.... It is very sad. :hug:

[Haole Girl]

6. Please don't watch it, if you haven't

It was so much worse than the Nick Berg vid.

[Texasgal]

7. Oh! No worries there!

I am emotional person by nature, after the Nick Berg thing I swore I would never watch another.

Oh no... reading the story was enough for me.

8. You're talking about the video of the Iranian woman who was killed?

I saw it.....it's going to give me nightmares, that was so horrible to just watch the blood pour out of her mouth and nose.....ughh...

I'm sorry Haole Girl....I can't even look at that link again....it was that sick

[Haole Girl]

9. Yes

Hopefully, she did not die in vain.

[TK421]

10. If it's up to people like you and me, she won't.....

I stand up against this violent suppression of the Iranian people

[cwydro]

11. As soon as I see "graphic"

I just don't click.

It's never good.

[Haole Girl]

14. My intense curiosity gets me

But not next time, no. That was it.

[cwydro]

37. You know what they say about curiousity...

but I understand. I'm the same in that regard and learned my lesson the hard way too.

[Ptah]

12. But then you would Miss this:

21. is this a joke?

:shrug:

[Haole Girl]

15. Thanks Ptah

I thought for sure that was going to be a rick roll.

:hug:

[Ptah]

29. .

:hug:

Shiny side up!

[Haole Girl]

31. Hey

I did like the video. Ever feel misunderstood around here, Ptah?

[Ptah]

33. I hope to lift my friends up.

[Haole Girl]

34. Wow

The southwest has magnificent sunsets. Wish I could ride through the desert, on my bike, in the winter of course!

17. Watching real life happening in front of you is a real b**ch.

I prefer looking it in the eyes when it presents itself. A bit hardcore perhaps, but we each make our own choices. May you be as content with your choice as I am with mine.

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

39. Watching life is one thing

Watching death entirely another. :hug:

[lost-in-nj]

19. when it says "gets shot"

why would you click on it????

lost

[Haole Girl]

40. A couple of reasons

I've been following the protests closely. Curiosity.

[OmahaBlueDog]

20. I'm certainly not comparing the events, but I still cannot watch the replay of QB Joe Theismann ..

..breaking his leg.

Yes, it's a game, and yes, injuries happen. But when one watches the slow motion of Theismann's leg being broken by Lawrence Taylor..... just awful.

[MadMaddie]

35. I agree that is just a nasty piece of film....blech

[Haole Girl]

41. That was bad

And, if I remember, the news didn't warn us either!

[rcrush]

47. Thats reminds of when Sid Viscious from WCW jumped from the top rope and snapped his leg in half.

Its on youtube I'm not searching for it. But his lef snaps in half clean.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

22. The only graphic video I've watched

Is Saddam's execution video. And even then, I turned it off once the graphic part started

Blood, gore and me don't mix well. I even turn off cartoons with blood and gore

But yes, I've heard enough about that video you're talking about to know what it is about. That poor, poor woman:cry:

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

42. Cartoons?

Aw. :hug:

[Kali]

23. its a tough thing to watch death

I am of two minds and usually DON'T click as I am familiar enough with it. On the other hand I do think it can be important for us to see the consequences of actions we are complicit in - for instance the deaths of our own soldiers and the disgrace of hiding their returning coffins. Some people need to see what their ideas and policies support.

[Haole Girl]

43. I know what you mean

People do need to know about it.

[BarenakedLady]

24. I didn't know what you were talking about.

I read through the thread. I'm glad to not know any more. I've clicked on links in the past that I cannot unsee. Sometimes being oblivious is a good thing.

[Haole Girl]

25. Neda. The young student shot down while protesting in Iran

The vid shows the last few moments of her life. You don't want to watch it .

[BarenakedLady]

28. I've gathered that much

And you are correct, I don't want to watch it.

[Danger Mouse]

26. I think I'll take a psss on that one.

[Haole Girl]

44. Probably a smart thing.

:hi:

[kentauros]

27. This video is VERY graphic

but I love it :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBvaHZIrt0o

:P

[Haole Girl]

36. Didn't click on it

Nice try.

[kentauros]

38. Then, you're not thinking about the word "graphic"

;)

Here's some "graphic" help:



And it's got some nice music, too :D

[EastTennesseeDem]

30. I wasn't disgusted or scared as much as I was heartbroken

Such a beautiful young woman.
:cry: :hug:

[Haole Girl]

32. I was, am, also

As long as I live, I'll never forget the expression on her face... just before. She was very beautiful.

[cherish44]

45. She was stunning

That video was so tragic. The screams of her father have haunted me for days.

[MissHoneychurch]

46. What I found most haunting

was her look into the camera shortly before dying. Her eyes .... they will stay with me.
