Pet Peeves

It was like that stabbing in France. What thrills do they get out of seeing a woman getting brutally murdered and why?

I'd imagine it's not all about thrills, some people would watch out of morbid curiosity. We're exposed to a lot of death and violence via tv and film, which, excluding actual news footage, is obviously fake. Maybe people just want to see the real deal from time to time.

On the other hand, you could have some cunt who hates women watching the video, and pulling himself asunder for sexual thrills.

And then I imagine you'd have another category of people who'd watch it just because it's 'banned', and that in itself would be their thrill, not necessarily the video content itself, but rather the exclusivity of it.

A little off topic for this thread and I won't make it about Israel and its not even to do with the politics of it. There was a video making the rounds of a girl in Israel who was deceased, stripped naked on the back of a truck with her legs broken while people spat on her. What on earth gives anyone the right to share that. How important is that Twitter argument that you'll use the humiliated corpse of a woman to win it.

Its a fucked up world alright. And so much fucking usless 'whataboutery' from some corners.

Jesus, please come down and flood this place again. Global warming aint quick enough

Lads, social media... leave it behind. Step out of the bubble and remember what reality tasted like. It's good

Best advice ever. The genie is out of the bottle for some folk, which unfortunately make up the most of the generation after us

Quick question, do message boards like this count as social media?

[Eoin McLove]

I don't think so. They are too nerdy and specific, the off topic section being a grey area.

Yep, never got instagram, deleted twitter a while back, and only keep Facebook around to get gig updates

Have to say I do feel better not endlessly scrolling through a load of nothing mixed with some random cunts opinion

Metal Warfare, like Metal Ireland before it, is anti-social media. This, as a recent visitor from a 2007 time-warp just reminded us, is why we have such a bad reputation 

[Kunt 4 Life]

Maybe we should just call ourselves CuntIreland

A little off topic for this thread and I won't make it about Israel and its not even to do with the politics of it. There was a video making the rounds of a girl in Israel who was deceased, stripped naked on the back of a truck with her legs broken while people spat on her.

Turns out this girl is alive, albeit seriously injured and in a hospital in Gaza, her mother has confirmed.

Her mother is engaged in wishful thinking. Hope I'm wrong but I doubt it. The point I was making I suppose is that these things are better expressed in text. The internet is currently awash with death porn being flung around like confetti to win arguments. There was a Marcus Aurelius quote that I only half remember  something like "who are you and what gives you the right to see that?"

[Eoin McLove]

Ah no, I don't think Marcus Aurelius was on Twitter.

[hellfire]

Haha, he's always on there. I think it was a quote about watching gladiators slaughter each other. If he said it at all.

Some hard hitting analysis/commentary from RTE. As per usual - always asking the right questions

 Not the place for this question I know.
Is the main forum down?
No new posts all day really. Maybe it's my settings or something.
