ever seen somthing that affects you for awhile

Well, death penalties in the US or other places aren't held in the town square. Nor are people physically forced by the police to watch in order "make an example"

They are held in a public square to show that execution is real and that if you take the life of another person this could happen to you.

In the majority of the countries in the Middle East they are announced in the Mosques after Friday prayer to make sure that eveyone is aware that its going to happen. This could be seen as a way to make sure everyone goes to watch or to make sure people leave the area so they dont witness it. When you think about the thousands of people who could live in the area its impossible to 'physically force' everyone to go and watch them.

Also the families of the 'victim' normally has the final say on this - if they wish to pardon the person then they will not be executed, that certainly isnt the same as the USA.

Please dont take misunderstand my comment - I was simply explaining why the beheading videos didnt upset me as much as the Tidal Wave hitting Japan did.
 
Back on topic, That krokodil footage with all the rotting flesh really hit home on the terms of mental scar factor.

People being killed etc does not work at all on me, but people in agony with their bones exposed and just flesh rotting away like that.

Fucking wow, hardcore.
 
I can't really think of anything off hand that affected me in either real life or on the internet, but then again I don't really watch any of that sort of stuff. It's sort of weird because I would watch horror movies and stuff as a kid but even those don't appeal to me now. If I had to think of something that would affect me tho it would probably be any animal torture. That's definitely something I'll never watch on purpose. I don't mind watching game being killed and butchered for food, but torture or unnecessary pain I'm not a fan of. And besides, I think if you eat meat you should at least be able to see what it comes from, otherwise you're sort of in denial lol. But I do think that it should be done as quickly and painless as possible.

That sounds familiar, wasn't that from a while back? I think I started watching that but had to turn it off lol. I can't deal with facial disfigurement, freaks me out. Looking at pics of meth addicts is bad enough, I don't need to see a time lapse of someone's flesh slowly rotting off.

Just thought of something more recent that freaked me out a bit... Fetal acrania. For anyone who doesn't know it's a birth defect where part of the head is missing. I didn't know what it was at the time and made the mistake of looking it up. Looked at one pic and that was enough. Wasn't that it was particularly gory, but the damn thing was staring at me from the operating table... Pretty horrible. I think anyone considering an abortion should be made to look at some pics like that, maybe they would think twice.

Yuck, you caused me to look it up and now im sick! "throws up"
 
Glad I am not alone. I did a quick google and found ogrish tv. watched a little bit. I could not watch the animals being hurt, but i watched a guy getting beaten and whipped.

Guess today is not the right day to quit medicating after all.
 
i have seen loads of this videos, but i can't think of anything i've ever seen thats really affected me like trauma wise anyway. i don't like vids like this but i wouldent say they affected me. seems odd to me though, i'm 25 i should of seen somthing i want to forget.
 
There is an image that keeps popping into my head that i seriously with wouldn't, and it made me think of this thread.

I had to put my 12 year old cat to sleep earlier this year; he was sick, but when i took him to the vet, i didn't expect that i'd be coming home without him. The whole experience was fucking traumatic, but when the vet had put the catheter in and then injected Falcor with the euthanising liquid, i remember holding Fal's little head in my hands and looking into his eyes (i wanted to make sure that his mum was the last person he saw before he died). I'll never forget watching the life leave his little eyes; he just drifted away. I still have moments where that image flashes into my head.
 
Most of my haunting mental images have come from stuff I've read, but a couple months ago I saw the Kill Team photos in RS. I just can't get that at all..
 
This pic I found pretty disturbing...

i've posted a thread here about those horrible shock videos. the ones with animal cruelty specifically always break my heart. i thought this thread was something different though, like something you saw irl.

my mom passed away from a massive heart attack a few years ago. they were able to get her heart beating again after an hour without oxygen. they put her in a medical-induced coma and when i saw her she was totally vegetative, swollen and attached to life support machines. they eventually slowly took her off meds to see if she'd wake up. at first, her eyelids started twitching and i thought it was a promising sign, but after a few hours her whole body started twitching violently from severe brain damage i assume. i remember sitting on the side of the bed and growing so used to the shaking that once i stood up, i felt like i was shaking. the next day we took her off life support, and held her hand as she passed on peacefully. but something about that goddamn twitching will always haunt me.


what most people don't realize is most of the time dying is not a fun sight to witness. It is nothing like the movies or what you "think" it is.
 
Oh shit, samadhi. You brought me back to when I put my little old kitty down. Her front and hind legs were bound with white surgical tape so she could not struggle and they placed her body in my hands on the table. I could feel her heart beat and then nothing. They turned her head away from me as sometimes they die with their eyes open. Okay I am crying now :(

Yesterday I saw a deer on the side the road with a compound leg fracture and 2 fawns with it.
We called the game warden to put it out of their misery....their words. I couldn't do it. I hope the fawns make it or do they shoot them too? I am still sad.

Maybe 1999 at a rave, I watched a guy run and jump off a table (high on something) proceed to face plant on a cement floor then get up all bloody and continue running.
 
Why don't you guys put down your own animals? More humane I think than taking it to the vet where it's already distressed. I don't think you should wait til your animal is in a lot of pain either. I think a clean shot to the head while it's sleeping is a lot more humane than going through all the vet bs, although it's harder if you don't live in the country.
 
I wanted our pet euthanasia performed correctly, mess free, and painless.
I could not bring myself to shoot my pets in the head. I have a hard time killing things.

Why would they bound it's legs? Seems unneccessary, but then again I don't know what the euthanizing procedure is. Maybe someone can elaborate?
