Absolutely DISGRACEFUL human hatred.

Edit because the topic's CHANGED after a load of **** :

Ok, so. I posted a link yesterday evening that caused uproar and a load of **** I cba to deal with because the entire point I was trying to make has been missed.

The video involved a human being beaten and murdered for his sexuality, it wasn't appropriate for CF, so yeah, topic's changed to keep it PG13 <3

SO, instead of bitching and moaning about a video. I'd rather the topic turn into a discussion related to reasons behind such vulgar behaviour by humans, towards other humans.

Why people are so violent towards others based on their race/sexuality/religion/appearance etc.

I'm not trying to solve anything here, purely discuss reasoning behind such awful behaviour, motivations, outcomes etc.


So, let's discuss....
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

Having "retired" from Shock Videos I'm not gunna watch. I can get the jist of it.

Unfortunatly this happens all the time in africa and east asia it seems, well not all the time but yeah. It's disgraceful and stuff but you can't really do anything. Eah, you can let them murder them selves anyway. S'not like africa is the most peaceful continent at the moment.
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

I want to see it, but I can't. But homophobia is just plain dumb. It's just stupid.
Let me get this straight. They burnt him alive? They killed him? Cuz' he's gay? S-T-U-P-I-D

Find me one example from East Asia that even comes close to that. Doesn't have to be a video, a credible news report will do.
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

It's absolutely disgusting. It's not just a couple of people either. The whole community seems to be against him with noone trying to help him. Instead they're just chucking things at him to make him burn to death. :(

Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

Absolutely disgusting. Just, I don't even know.

I just wanna throw up and cry at the same time. Absolutely despicable.
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

You showed me this earlier and after watching it a second time it's still just as awful as the first. I just don't understand man's inhumanity to man, it's such an awful thing. It baffles me as to why people can't just accept differences, it's not a hard thing to do, and even if you are so narrow minded that you don't accept gays, don't go out terrorizing and murdering them either.
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

I admit, I'm a bit of a homophobe (it's a personal thing, nothing wrong with it) but I don't mind being around gay people. But that's just... Well I don't have words to describe it...
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

I've temporarily removed the link. I don't think this is suitable for CF. I'll get back to you on it.

Sorry AJ.

People who don't fit the "world view" we create as we grow up make us feel uncomfortable. It's only natural. There's a huge difference though between being out of your comfort zone and hatred. I know what you mean Xpress, but what I did was recreate my world view to include the things that made me feel uncomfortable. It's surprisingly easy and you feel much better and freer for doing it :)

As for the video, I agree with Hixee removing the link, it's not something that I feel happy with being linked directly from here (I'm sure if you really want to see it, then AJ would PM you the link). I do think it's important though that people understand the kind of violent wrongs that go on (the tortures and killings) just because people can't accept another person's way of life. I've never understood homophobia or racism, I just see people, but I was brought up in a very racist and homophobic community. Hence why there's a hurdle to step over. People need to do it though, they need to understand. Just because you disagree with somebody (and we can't all like everyone) doesn't mean that you should want to commit violence to them. It's idiocy to close your mind to such a degree that you can't see another person also has the same basic body and rights you do.

Disgusting and I hope that the murdering bastards get sent down for ever.
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

If you want to see the link, PM me. Agreed it's not suitable for CF, though. Regardless, everyone was stood round him just STARING. Hundreds of people not helping. Gash communities. GASH.

It's quite common human behaviour though isn't it? When we mass, everyone assumes that somebody else will take charge and intervene. Then when it's too late, to do anything about it, we shrug and watch on.

In this case, I guess there'd be fear that something could also happen to you, that they'd turn on you. I'd like to think that in that situation I'd do the right thing (and past experience has shown I'm probably likely to, I do tend to move to get involved without thinking) - but I really wouldn't know...
 
Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

If anyone stood up to them they would have been killed as well, that's the problem over there and whilst the government support it it's never going to change.

This is the reason I did not come out when I was 16 etc I would have had my head kicked in.
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

Let's go post about shock value in their topic instead <3


I understand where you're coming from re:shock value, but this has just as much reason to be in this forums than the tram topic, or any other pointless topic in this forum. However this post has a point....
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

I'm kind of with UC here. I don't really see what discussion this can bring other than the obvious, "this shouldn't happen to anyone", regardless of whether they are gay or not.
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

I think what AJ was trying to do was get this video out there. People should see it. After all, Anything Goes is a place to talk about world news issues etc?

If you look at the reaction of the masses when that video of the rasicst woman went massively viral it created such a response from the public that the police ensured they very publicly dealt with it.

In this instance, I think that what AJ is getting at, is that if the masses worldwide speak out and react in a similar manner it would shame the country perhaps even in to some kind of action? If this video was to go viral on a massive scale it MIGHT make a difference. It might not. The point is not to turn a blind eye!

Perhaps CF isn't the right place for it, but I totally understand the motivations in which it was posted before everyone starts lynching him...
 
Re: Absolutely DISGRACEFUL homophobia.

Regardless of what it was about, or what it was for, posting a video of someone being burnt alive and murdered is just....wrong.
