The most disturbing thing youve seen/experienced

[Ranger REG]

Most disturbing? I've not experienced it, but I've heard of it, was a man who got twisted by a subway train, so that his body was trapped , twisted 180 degrees, in a subway tunnel. He was still alive, in shock, so no pain from the accident, but would die as soon as he was removed. So the authorities called his loved ones down to say goodbye, because once they freed him, he was a dead man.

There's a term for that. What is it called? Tamponade(sp)?

In things you can post about here?

For me that would be heights. It's not just the fear, it's also the compulsion to jump off. Acrophobia is nasty stuff.

The really bad stuff? Let me put it this way... Give me a good sword and a room full of pedophiles and there's going to be blood on the ceiling. And I pray you never learn why.

Sigh ... God bless you sir. If my idea why is anything like what I also experienced when I was but a "wee lad" I certainly understand.

On to other things....

The most disturbing thing I've seen so far today is the title of a thread in General -- "What do you do with fairies?"

I shudder. What do you do with fairies?

Well admiral - historically most of the tales have you running AWAY and having as little to do with them as possible. Read the ancient ones - people would disappear and never come back. Scarry stuff if you really think about.

If you found one you were REALLY scared about what might happen to you. They were dangerous, not-earthly (in the "human" sense), and unpredictable to the extreme. The sidhe are one example that comes to mind most immediately....

It's only recently (i.e. last 4 centuries or so) that all this nonsense about fairies being "fun" began to pop up.

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.

You should read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. It explains much....

My entire relationship with my ex-wife, from beginning to horrible end; as seen in hind-sight from a position of sanity..... The so-called "friends" who scattered in the wake. Good riddance, you showed your true worth as human beings, one and all.

That's very sad ... I know many who experience such a thing and lose their "friends". Sometimes that hurts some people more than the whole thing with a marriage gone bad.

Um, anyone listen to Tony Hawk's show on Sirius Faction today? I didn't see what was referenced, but just hearing it described was pretty awful. And that's about all I can say about it here.

So much for free speech.

I didn't realize EN World is not a public [government] property.

*chuckles*

AFAIC, this is Morrus's property, virtually Morrus's house. He set the forum up, not your government. Either you abide by his ground rule or you get kicked out.

Oh, not me. My concern is for children and their families

actually tamponade is when you bleed into a pocket of muscle aroud your heart and the pressure kills you. isnt this whole "man twisted by tube" an episode in "homoside, life on the street"? or was it based on a real story?
