Just the thought of a televised beheading is very upsetting to me, much less view one...It will be posted on this forum for instance, and i think, should i look? Ive seen some pretty messed up stuff thats bothered me already, so i refrain...I was seriously bothered by the movie, Hostel, and have not watched any of the sequals...
The younger generation, notably teenagers seem to view the violent things seen on the internet as entertainment...I have rented the new Rambo movie, and will probably shriek at the amount of violence in it, but damn, gotta see it...Its just a movie right?
What the problem i think is for a lot of people is they do not understand violence shown on the internet is very real...They do not understand the mind of the killers, or the ones being killed....Since they do not understand it and see it not a part of their world, in their daily lives, it is not real...The thought of people viewing having no compassion is a travesty and a bad sign of our future....The Arnold movie, The Running Man, glorifies violent deaths for the guilty....That movie was set in the future...Well that future is here, and a mouseclick away...
