That's rationalizing it....wonder what CBS's rating were for airing it hmmm? I'm sorry but I don't think we have a "right" to have to see that video of someone's husband/father/son getting murdered, that's an ultimate invasion of privacy, especially when it's against the family's wishes. Seeing the video won't make me any more pissed off.
If you're worried that Americans don't understand the weight of our predicament, maybe the government should start doing something about it. Bush has to get off his fucking ass and do something!!!

I wonder how much understanding most people are even capable of when there are people protesting the war against terrorism and preaching peace. I was watching the Real World a few weeks ago when they aired the September 11th episode, and it really is quite apparent that people outside the New York area and Washington DC really do not understand things in the way we all do....the rest of the country will never truly understand the predicament our country is in until they experience the terror closer to their homes.

America has yet to experience the terror of the suicide belt bomber. They are coming and they will spread terror across the nation.

They were there for that? I haven't watched Real World in like 4 seasons, but that's one episode I would like to see. Any idea when it's on?
I find myself a glutton for this. I downloaded O&A's show for that day, and I'd like to listen to Stern and Imus' show from that day as well.

Yes, they were in Chicago. They taped the episode from 9/10-9/14. Literally they were FINE by the end of the episode. It was on last week, so I think it should rerun before next week's episode as well as on the weekends when they play the show in blocks.
- Galt - 05-15-2002
Oh that's right they were in Chicago. I don't care about how it affected people in Chicago. It must have been last year that was in NYC. I didn't watch that one either. I think the last one I saw was in New Orleans --Kelley was yummy
- PollyannaFlower46 - 05-15-2002
Yea, last year for the 10 year reuinion it was back in New York. It wasn't a very interesting season...

not that you're a Nazi..... just a "Tragedy Collectibles" kind of thing....

I can see what your saying, but I'm just interested to find out the initial reaction of people when the information was coming in so fast. How they dealt with rumours, handled emotions, etc. The initial reactions of people are the most real. Like socialogical research.
I've gone back and read the thread at OA.com about it numerous times.
- PollyannaFlower46 - 05-16-2002
Don't know if this is true, but just got an email from CNN saying that Pakistani officials think they found his body.
- OAS - 05-16-2002
There were two arrests of other kidnapers this morning. The report then said they told officials where to find the body. They're singing like birds to save their pathetic lives.
- Galt - 05-20-2002
The video is up on consumptionjunction.com if anyone really has a interest in it. I'm not watching it.
- AdolescentMasturbator - 05-20-2002
It's not that the fucking thing is gruesome you are just sitting there while you watch a real-life murder. It isn't like a movie where it all goes back to normal.
- HedCold - 05-20-2002
i just watched it and now i have goosebumps. creepy shit
- Galt - 05-20-2002
The thing isn't grewsome? aren't they cutting his head off?
- HedCold - 05-20-2002
they only show that for a few seconds. they also show them holding his head, which is on screen for a pretty long time while they scroll their list of demands. very mortal kombat like.
the first 2 and 1/2 minutes are them making him say certain things
- PollyannaFlower46 - 05-21-2002
I just saw it now...it's horrible...I didn't really want to see them kill him, I wanted to see what the propaganda was...I shouldn't have looked at this when I should be trying to go to bed...I hope his wife never sees this...
- HedCold - 05-21-2002
wasn't he already dead when they took his head off?
- PollyannaFlower46 - 05-21-2002
Yea, it looks like he was...he didn't scream or anything and his body looked a bit limp, unless he passed out in fear. I don't know.....
- HedCold - 05-21-2002
yea because he didn't move or fight it. it looked a little to easy for them to do. plus i think i heard he was already dead but i'm not sure.
