I think of course different people can view things differently and in how they react to them like the horrors of the world seen and unseen. Like on rotten.com. And for people who want to see that stuff then fine go ahead. It's a free country! To me though, as human beings, what elevates us above the animals is that we don't operate on instinct alone. We can say ok today I will not kill. It does not however seperate us from the animals because people are still basically animals. And being such there are things that appeal to people's baser instincts that they must see or watch like beheading videos. And snuff films. And porn and erotica and tv shows like Friends. This all from the same people capable of creating amazing works of art and music etc. To me though, as someone knowing they are not seperated from but elevated above the animals, I don't need to see a beheading video to know or understand the horror there or the horrors perpetuated all over the world now as we speak. I feel that when or if I see something like that I am stained by that blood forever. (I watched a snuff film once and said ok I dont need to see that shit again.)

Some people say Karma is memory. That once you do something you can never forget it and are stuck with it. So if you can live with the memory and stain of something like that then fine, go ahead and look at it and all the other crap out there. There is plenty out there to see that is not horrifying that reflects the better part of human nature but that doesnt always sell tickets. Look at that Christ movie. Would people have gone to see it enmasse if it wasnt a freaking bloodbath?! If it was about all the positive things Christ supposedly preached and stands for?! Not likely. Quite frankly rather than have this long drawn out thing going on in Iraq and the middle east, I'd like to see them put an end to it all with a few BOMBS. Yea just Nuke Em all and be done with it. Collateral damage is a necessary part of any war right?! But then again I think well maybe not.

Ok go ahead and rip me a new one!
