Raise your hand if they could not pay you enough to watch the Berg video.
I ain't gonna. I can be plenty horrified and traumatized enough by this incident WITHOUT watching it in living color.

:scared:

1. Just reading about it was enough for me.
I don't have a morbid curiosity.

I watched the first few seconds.
Too creepy, in anticipation my heart was up in my throat as I frantically went to FILE, QUIT! Haven't been back since, don't plan to.

33. I WATCHED IT
I like to get my news unfiltered, and like gramma always said, "whatever you IMAGINE they bleeped was probably worse than WHAT the bleeped", so whenever they say dont watch or we are not going to show this i go and watch it.

35. Most forms of elected violence repulse me
However with all the conspiracy theories floating around I had to see it myself so I could reject the most blatant dis-information.

Icky! Fortunately my sound card is turned off.

This thing stinks.

5. I sure aint gonna do it for free or cheap
Edited on Fri May-14-04 06:18 PM by Spinzonner
but I'm afraid I have my price when it comes to just watching.

Perhaps I would salve my conscience by donating some of the money appropriately - from evil, good.

6. If I thought it would do anyone some good for me to watch it...
...I might consider it. I hardly think the family would want us to watch. And I hope they find some way to get Hannity booted off the air for playing the audio.

I think if there was about $20k involved I could watch...
...but I would donate half to the guy's family and the rest would go for therapy to get me to learn how to deal with this horrible tragedy

15. Would watching something like this be relevant in learning from it?
If not, then I have more important things to do.

16. NO!!!!!!!!!!!
My imagination's bad enough. That said, I did download it in the event that I change my mind. Right now it looks like it's just taking up space on my harddrive.

17. I can't.
I thought about it when I read some of the questions about it in GD, but I just can't bring myself to do it. The descriptions are horrifying enough.

18. Just the headline when I logged on was enough to send me
scurrying elsewhere on the Internet in a big hurry. That particular method of dispensing death has always been absolutely horrifying to me...

19. I have a pretty strong stomach but..
..I wont watch it. It's not the horrible graphics as much as it is the unforgettable,inexcusable and horrible conditions that this administration has bestowed upon us all. I wouldn't get sick to my stomach over the blood, and I wouldn't get the adrenaline rush of anger toward the men that commit the act...it is the sickening feeling I get knowing who caused all this shit that I would get the most upset about.

20. Hand down
I saw it.

Not because I'm a sicko. I wanted to see what others had said about the orange clothes, the chair, the gaggle of fat people wearing bulletproof vests and tennis shoes and other related suggestions that these dudes were 'Murakin.

The only sickos are those who did the crime and those who told them to do it.

28. Raising BOTH hands...
Seeing how he died wouldn't change the fact that he is dead. Besides I have a weak stomache. The part they showed on the national news was disturbing enough.

Leonard Lake can watch shit like that.

I'm more interested in finding ways to make sure it doesn't happen again.

32. No, I won't watch it.
I get weak in the knees and weepy just thinking about it.

I think it sufficient to be intellectually confronted with the topic, I'm not sure there's a redeeming reason to allow myself to be emotionally tormented as well.
