People are naturally curious, but it strikes me as odd when we see a title containing "death" or "hanging" or "scarred," and find quite a few replies, as if many people have viewed the thread.
I also think that people are becoming more accustomed to "black humour" and violence and accepting it a lot more than in years past.

Any thoughts?


EDIT:  Even my sig is a little sadistic.

"What we?" This planet bears multiple societies.

And anyone who says that humans in general are more violent now than previously is a bit deluded.

Eh, humans have always been violent. It's our instinct... and in our blood.

I suppose...  Right now, the world overall is a lot more peaceful than it was 1,000 years ago.  However, Africa is probably a more violent continent today than it was 1,000 years ago.

Of coarse we are. Look at the sports we watch. Boxing, for example. It takes skill, obviously, and much technique to weave and dodge, but the basic principle is "knock the ^%&# out of the other guy."

Another example is the Saddam hanging. I've seen countless posts of "I hope they show the movie on the news," or "I hope it's posted on the internet."

As long as "America's Funniest Home Videos" remains on the air, then yes.

Seen it. It was probably a clone. I'll return to my western movies, thank you very much.
