    ...and too realistic.


    ps I don't believe 'Faces of Death' episodes are staged. Whereas parts of 'Traces of Death' are. I own both. I downloaded them

    There are websites out there that cater for images and videos of death and maimings.
    Me, I'd sooner click on the cute puppies, or Bettyboo's image history


    Welcome to .........

    Warning: Extremely Graphic!
    You have stumbled upon a website that features gore videos and images. Due to extremely graphic nature of materials found on ........, access is restricted to adults only. If you are 18 years of age or over and wish to be reminded of real life, then be my guest, but do NOT take the warning lightly. Videos and images posted on .......... are bloody, gut wrenching, teeth grinding, offensive and upsetting. Just as the life itself.
    If you are not 18 or do not wish to preview this kind of content LEAVE THE SITE BY CLICKIN ON PICTURE OF CUTE PUPPY BELOW

    You could turn that around and ask why non-Westerners are so disrespectful towards the dead and injured.

    I can give you the answer to that one.

    I didn't go looking for the video. I had two alternatives - watch it or give it a miss. I am not a voyeur and I am certainly not sick. There is no point in pretending that these awful things do not happen. Hopefully, the more people see things like this, the more they will try to prevent them happening.

    But they don't in my opinion. They get numb to it.

    More propaganda to make the Syrian regime look bad, the same shit happened last year with Gaddafi. We have no idea how the kid was injured, but the default position is to blame the Syrian Government, because the Western media is telling us Assad is bad, and "rebels" are good. The Syrian Government's bullets and bombs only kill innocent people, and the rebels bullets and bombs only hit bad guys..... This shit is getting old, but the sheeple still lap it up.

    No, the lefty lie is just like the righty lie, regime change. Western liberals and conservatives have more in common then they have in differences, excluding a few points. If you deny there is an anti Assad slant in the Western media you're trolling or a liar. I get CNN, BBC, MSNBC, FOX and a bunch of other International News providers on my cable service, and they are all peddling the same shit, it has become so predictable. The BBC had a guy on from Homs, or atleast that is what they said, and he claimed over 200 were killed that night, and they were accepting it as if it was the truth, this was over the weekend, now they are saying the death count was much lower.

    I just don't know what to make of the injured lads in the video.

    I mean, the injuries look horrific, but I don't see the evidence of the massive pain and trauma which would undoubtably accompany such injury in the two lads.

    Just don't know who to believe.

    See things have ramped up somewhat in the China and Russia veto of the UN resolution against Assad.

    About time someone checked the yanks unlawfull rampage for oil, but I do believe these arab populaces are abused and they do need some help.

    I think there's quite an anti-Assad slant from ANYONE who has enough brain cells to observe the evidence freely available that he is shelling and shooting his own people.

    What are they supposed to do, cheer him on?

    Did you notice there was little blood, in a state of shock the blood vessels constrict unless you hit a main.

    It is also possible that morphine was administered during the trip to the clinic by the EMT's.
