The worst, for me, are beheadings..
One in paticular still haunts me. First they cut their windpipe then they left them for a little while to make desperate and frantic high-pitched breathing noises like a pig. You could hear other people, off camera, chattering happily while this was happening. The "beheader" then returned to finish up.

I also saw one where a guy's hands and feet were cut off with a machete.

Not good

Nice post RUPERT.

man be careful what you let into your head

for the fact that they are proof of our inalienable right to free speech
im glad 4chan exists

if for no other reason than to protect myself from the horror of the insanity it depicts

This thread motivated me to check out the site. I found none of the above things. I stand disappointed.

i'm with the unfan on this one. nothing wrong with the site. potentially lots wrong with its users.

i don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
i don't need to watch 2 girls 1 cup to know poo porn is gross
and i don't need to check out 4chan to know just how depraved we can be,

I never go on my own, the only time I see the site is when sitting on my bf's lap when he's at the computer, which is quite often actually.

And yes it is sickness of our society

oh, and to the mods, I wasn't trying to advertise the site by pasting a link, I was just trying to make it easier to see the site if you've never seen it.

I don't care if it makes me ignorant.

People who watch that sort of thing are bored, uninteresting, attention whores who want to one up their idiot friends the next day at work/school.

Theres a list of about a million other things you could be doing that have some degree of worth. At least this gives these fruitbaskets something do do so their not out amoung the masses.

Kevorkian Logic · 09-29-2008, 09:10 AM

yes and no.

I do agree that people look at these sites sometimes so that they have something to talk to their friends about, however I do not agree that it makes them uninteresting or attention whores. It's just their form of how they know how to have social contact, not everyone gets a hard on from being outside or what nor.

it's just morbid curiosity that everyone has to some extent. i mean i'd rather see a guy with a raccoon surgically attached to his wang on the net than be traumatised when such an everyday occurrence confronts me in the real world. well not really.
