    OP, the only real antidote to the trauma one gets from these kind of videos is funny cat videos, always cheers me up, try it, you'll thank me.

    Or blokes getting accidentally hit in the balls.

    Sorry, lads!!!

    Don't watch violent videos if your not able for them ffs.

    No ones fault but your own.

    Or people are awesome videos. They always make me think that I too should be making fifty metre basketball shots while riding a skateboard.

    No sympathy for anyone "browsing randomly on liveleak".

    I've never watched any videos of people either dying or being killed. I've cleaned up after a lad shot himself with a burst of automatic fire and I've recovered burnt bodies also dealt with severe injuries and accidents

    There was ( probably still is ) a video of a very gory suicide. Thing is, in real life I attended a very similar tragedy. There was nothing entertaining , nothing educational nothing but abject and utter misery for the relatives and the witnesses involved and a deep sadness for my crew when we finished that day. You deal with stuff like that if it crosses your path but should anyone be looking for it? I am not sure that is healthy.

    I don't work at any of that stuff anymore . It doesn't cross my mind except where I see threads like this.

    I've absolutely no doubt that there are other soldiers and emergency workers who've seen ten times more and ten times worse than I've seen but I'd bet none of them go looking for videos.

    Do your selves a favour - mind your mental health and if you are being drawn to this stuff have a good talk with yourself and seek help if you need it.

    That's just my opinion - it is neither qualified nor educated so make of it what you will.

    You're letting darkness overcome you OP – come to the light!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,858 ✭✭✭Church on Tuesday


    Can't understand why someone would actually want to seek out this kind of stuff and watch it.

    None of this is new, humans have been doing awful things to other humans for eons now. It's enough for me just to read about the horrors in the world without actually seeking it out on a live feed to watch atrocities being committed against humans in real time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,636 ✭✭✭Cordell


    After 10 years I can still remember how I was tricked into searching "blue waffle", also I can still remember who tricked me. But I never went willingly searching for such stuff.

    *if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't search it. Just don't. Some things can never be unseen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    I prefer birdseye myself, but the Tesco ones are surprisingly nice I discovered only last night, the lidl ones (like the blue variety) are just best avoided:D

    In fairness to liveleaks it might be distasteful at times but its not specialising in anything in particular all it’s doing is bringing this atrocity to light besides there’s a warning for that sort of content.

    There’s a lot of vermin commiting all manner of murders which are documented elsewhere but when it’s those in authority giving the go ahead for such an instance of ethnic cleansing it’s still hard to get your head around... sure it’s always been happening but that doesn’t make it any less shocking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,956 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    Once or twice in my life iv accidently seen the start of these types of videos as someone with poor taste has sent it to a football wats ap group or something like that ,

    And I can safely say the feeling I get for them makes me think humans are designed to be compassionate , It turn's my stomach and i almost feel like I have some how betrayed the poor person's soul by seeing the horrendous act.
    It's like my human reaction to find it revolting and wrong and in a way that makes me feel a bit better that humans are not made to see this kind of suffering of other humans, ( although life events could turn someone nub to it )
    I just find people who like watching these or who share them are sick and have serious issues,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,351 ✭✭✭Ray Palmer


    An in law married a guy I would say being polite is absent of morals and empathy. He shows extremely violent clips to people all the time and laughs about what happens in the videos and people's reactions. His 15 year old son also does this.
    You have to be some kind of sicko to laugh at this stuff but to teach your child it is OK and allow access to it is another level.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    I think there's a big difference between a lack of empathy and actually getting a kick out of seeing people hurt or killed - that's a much more disturbing trait in anybody.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭NOVA MCMXCIV


    Disturbing is the word!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,443 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Make your fcuking mind up.
    There appears to only be room for one thought at a time in that particular mind...

    I offered many times to meet and you say I will do f all. I don't understand the logic here.
    I am offering to meet and you reject it and I am the one doing nothing? Continue to live in your dream world. I think you're the anxious one here buddy. We don't live in one of those **** countries so you have nothing to worry about.

    A collective noun. Like a prickle of porcupines, or a grumble of pugs. Hilarious stuff... Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_animal_nouns

    There's your problem edgelord. Whenever I see that logo in the corner of a vid I nope out of there. Y'know, not being titillated by death and all.

    I’ve watched non-dodgy stuff on Live Leak like the French brother’s 9/11 documentary when I couldn’t find it anywhere else.

    What sort of fool would meet with someone who has executioner fantasies and types out in detail about an execution video they saw :

    Was browsing randomly on liveleak and came across a video called
    "Cameroon soldiers execute women and children"

    Mod: Title above is exactly what it says on the tin. Read at your discretion:
    Ok I thought, I think many of them are staged and I've been numbed already with all the death and suffering in the news. The video is short but you can see 2 scum with ak's leading two women away to be shot. One woman is holding her little girl by the hand while the other one has her maybe 2 year old boy strapped on her back. The man hits her in the face while leading her. Once at the place they make them kneel down and one of them puts the little girls shirt over her head while the other woman is lying down on her side. Then the subhumans unleash a volley of bullets at the children and the women and you can see the blood coming out after about 10 seconds. I think I've been desensitised already by all the reports and isis beheadings but I've never felt my heart sink so deep. I was absolutely enraged and would tear apart the scum who did this.
    As the song goes and I tell to myself, what a wonderful world.
    I think I've been traumatised by this and I have the images of the little boy stuck in my head and can't get them out. I hope this passes in a few days but I know that I hate this world.

    I watched one of those youtube videos that list 10 things that you shouldnt google.

    It says "shouldnt".

    Some real classics there

    I'm just pointing out the massive hypocrisy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    Are you this much of a wanker in real life or do you reserve it for your online "persona"?

    I've known people like you over the years, thought they were hard and felt the need to prove it at every opportunity (some of them actually were, some were just deluded gobshítes) But each and everyone was, and very probably still, is a prize winning knob end. I had to completely sever connections with a good friend of mine over this very thing, he'd pick a row in a fúcking phone box - can't for the life of me see what he got out of it (apart from regular hidings!) And he was a genuinely tough cúnt....... there's just always someone tougher if you look hard enough.

    I doubt very much you actually look though, you're the type to pick your rows from the safety of your bedroom I'd say. And before you offer to leave your house and prove me wrong, blah blah blah, lets just be clear, I won't be meeting you anywhere - I'm a grown man, I don't do things like that, i'll fight only if I have to, not because some arsehole on the internet asks me to!

    If you (actually) feel the need to be constantly pointing out how hard you are, and asking strangers to meet up with you, presumably for fights ..... (like they'd have nothing fúcking better to do, I mean seriously! :confused::confused::confused:) - there is clearly something amiss with you! Low self esteem, repressed homosexuality, walter mitty syndrome, I don't know, and I don't particularly care, but someone needs to point out to you that you're making a fúcking show of yourself. Maybe you should talk to a real person, in real life every now and then - they tend to not carry on like this.

    You call me out then when I offer to meet, you immediately reject it. This makes no sense whatsoever. You call me this and that like you know me but when I offer you to prove myself, you go off saying oh no no no. I know everything about you even though I have never met you. And I don't want my eyes opened because I want to continue to believe in my own delusions and I don't want them to be changed. I don't even know why did you bother posting it since you are not interested in seeing other perspectives. It's called delusion.

    You're the one asking for straighteners on the internet pal, and I'm the deluded one?

    What possible benefit could I get from meeting you somewhere for a digging match?

    I have no desire to hurt you, I don't know you!
    I don't want to know you, I think you're a fúcking imbecile!
    But that's hardly my problem now is it? I know lots of imbeciles, I don't want to fight them either.

    I think it's pathetic and disgusting that your **** over videos of kids being shot, but there's a lot of weirdos out there. I think the fact you want to be an executioner is weird, but then history is full of executioners so you're hardly alone in that. You just aren't the edge lord you seem to think you are.

    You're likely that socially inept oddball with the long black coat and a copy of the satanic bible in his pocket that we all knew and laughed at in college.

    What do you think could possibly happen here, that would be worth my time and effort? Why would I possibly risk getting hurt, or arrested?
    Do you think your ego is that important to me?

    In short what would be in it for me, you absolute fúckwit?


  • Posts: 18,046 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    This is some of the most cringe-worthy stuff I've ever seen. It's like OP and his snuff videos.. It's so bad but I can't stop watching.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    Teacher must have taken his phone off him. First day back and on detention already! :D

    Oh I'm so angry. You say you don't care but here you're lashing out and screaming like a big child. I'll pay you don't worry. Surely payment has to be worthwhile? €200 for 30min of chat. Seems that stranger on the internet is making you frustrated for you to resort to insults here. Damn you're hard. And no I don't reply immediately because I'm working and not sitting here refreshing the page waiting for a response like you. Why would you get anxious about my reply if you don't care? You just show your high intelligence by resorting to insults. I resort to constructive criticism.
