The most disturbing thing youve seen/experienced

human beings have an amazing capacity for cruelty. i guess things have changed, at least in the minds of some people in some parts of the world. it used to be commonplace that executions and torture and the like were not only tolerated, but encouraged basically everywhere in the world. just watch the end of braveheart, for example.

Never heard of a more recent case of disembowelment as a form of sanctioned torture. Though I have heard of a pregnant women being forcibly undergoing C-section by the kidnapper (usually a disturbed woman) who wanted a baby, and left the victim helpless and untreated once the kidnapper got what they wanted.

Cruelty? Many would deny and claim it is inhuman, but you and I know better. It is the lowest denominator of humaniti.

Wow. Reading this thread makes me realize just how lucky I am.

Still, dreaming about dying by gunshot/snakebite/drow torture is no picnic.

With all the stuff I saw in my youth, I find now that one of the most disturbing that that I have ever experienced is my parents and in laws reaction to my daughter- disinterest.

Its pretty saddening to think that after all these years of pestering us for grand children they would react this way, but so is reality.

Not much compared to others, but when I was in about 4th grade, coming home on the school bus, as the bus was swiftly moving up the street to my bus stop. Just about two hundred feet from the stop the whole rear of the bus shook with a loud thump.

I whirled around (I was in the back seat) and saw a large black lab flopping around on the street with its head flattened. Completely flattened, while the rest of the body was intact just flopped around.

The dog's owner raced out to the street soon after that... the dog had chased its ball out into the street after it was tossed there by the owner. Gradually the body stopped moving. Of course with it being out bus stop we got to get a closer look at the scene in person.

Being vicious little brats, most of us on the bus teased the bus driver about that for years afterwards. I wasn't the type of person to tease, but I do look back in disgust at myself for laughing and smiling at the name-calling.

I was on Kazaa one day and came across a video titled "woman shot in head" I said, "yeah sure right", not believing it or thinking it was a news video or something. I downloaded it and boy was I sorry I watched it.

It was this young woman crying hyterically with a gun pointing right at her head. She just kept crying over and over until the trigger was pulled. Man, it disturbs me just to bring it up again. That image was with me for days. Just wondering what that poor woman went through before she was murdered.

yeah, you might be saying, "it was a fake". If you'd actually seen it you'd realize it wasn't a fake.

If it's the video I'm thinking of, it's not real. Here is non-gory screen shot, is that the one you are talking about? I have read a few different articles debunking it, and after watching it a few times, it does look really fake... Like I have seen hollywood movies that are more realistic.

I just found the article that officially debunks it. http://www.alexanderjason.com/videoanalysis.htm

I saw that video... It was pretty chilling. It wasn't that it was so violent, but what got me was how casual they were about it. It's like they just stabbed some guy 30 times then went and had lunch or something.

I saw a similar video of some U.S. military fellows firing on a little encampment of enemies somewhere in the middle east. The video was from their vehicle's camera (probably a helicopter) and the audio was from their headset mikes. They were just casually talking to each other, cracking jokes, pointing out targets, and tearing humans literally in two with a chain gun. Something is seriously wrong with people.

9/11 was pretty disturbing, as was goatse and tubgirl (ugh!).

But probably the most disturbing thing that sticks with me is a video I downloaded from one of those shock video sights before I really realized the extreme nature of some of these sites. There were a couple of land rovers parked in a nature preserve or something. One of the men got out to take a picture of the nearby lions (yes, the first disturbing thing was this guy was dumb enough to do that). One knocked him down from behind and they just started attacking the guy as his attempts to ward off the lions became progressively more feeble. The people still in the land rovers were honking the horns and making noise to try to scare off the lions and small kids were bawling in the rear seats.
I still can't completely shake the image years later.

Thanks for giving me this opportunity to share!
