retired cop on a TV show interventions or something drinking himself intp the grave because of the make the beast with two backsed up shit he's seen.
Mainly dead people in car wrecks. Its had an effect on him.
A few weeks back the to pof my Facebook feed was a Mexican woman being beheaded
oh yeah DO NOT GOOGLE PORSCHE GIRL that was not a dare.
Theres pictures of a girl in a black dress whi were apparently taken by her killer a split second before he shot her;
Lots of videos of the Taliban blowing things and themselves up.
are we all gonna end up wi ptsd? post traumatic stress disorder
Not if we don't go out of our way to saturate ourselves with that sort of thing :-\
There is a big difference between watching something online and actually living through it.
An example: watching racers crash their motorcycles on tv has never made me second guess doing track days. My 100 mph highside was a different matter. I was quite nervous the first few times back on the track.
Anything and everything is too easy to find in the lawless anarchy of the world wild web.
Knowing this - as you do - you have to exercise a little self censorship along personal moral and stomach wrenching guide lines. Educating your kids to do the same is vital.
There are those who suggest government ought impose filters to censor the sick shite away, but I'm even less comfortable with that notion than the thought of there being sick shite available.
I find that with not much effort, not seeing crap you don't wanna see or know about is pretty easy.

Learning self-censorship (read: self-control) is an absolutely vital life skill.
What ung said. [thumbsup]

I haven't heard of Mr hands. I didn't watch but the wiki page was more than informative.
Not sure where the name comes from.

Thanks, I needed that visual [roll] I long ago stopped looking for disgusting shit on the internet. It is one thing to know that there are sick make the beast with two backss out there like the horse humper, it is another to watch it.
I was traumatized enough over two girls in a cup. I am done seeking to add that kind of crap to my memories......
I use my "trusty" urban dictionary to look up slang definitions, sparing me the visuals.
Sometimes my curiosity though.... :o [puke] [bang]

Agree, I think that one eroded a bit of my soul. I've witnessed some pretty messed-up stuff and I thought I could sit through anything the internet could spew out but I do wish I'd never seen that.

For me, it's not about safe filtering, censorship, or restricting internet freedom. The ability to access any information we choose is truly an advancement of civilization. While we all know, on an abstract level, that people are doing horrible sick things to each other and themselves, it's just depressing to witness confirmation of how low a human being can sink.
Horrible images can spur compassion and positive change - film of Holocaust victims being bulldozed into mass graves and photos of children maimed in war zones might be traumatizing but are important images to society to face. Images like two-girls-one-cup just desensitize and degrade. There's a vast gray area between the "good" and "bad" extremes. Not sure if civilization is still advancing but maybe we just have learn how to take the bad with the good and see how things turn out.
The world is not just unicorns and rainbows and sometimes it just hurts to face reality.
I agree but I was appalled that it took Government intervention to get Facebook to take the beheading videos down.
They claimed it was a relevant international news story.
This week its death and sexual violence threats being made on Twitter that's in the news headlines.

i wasn't aware that it did. i thought they were prompted to act by public outcry and negative press.
