Sometimes it takes a sick sight to get charities rolling or foreign aid/military policy backed.

You appear to have completely missed my point, my post was making reference to the portion I highlighted in bold. I.e. the that you didn't sleep at night thinking stuff like that actually happens. It's nothing to do with being desensitised, it's more about being realistic in the fact that there are bad people all over the world who will do bad things to make a point.

Now what you're on about, I have no idea but I'll refer you to my first comment to Banny about most likely having missed the point I was making.

You're not following me are you? I've got no real interest in watching the video and I don't need to watch it to realise that these sorts of things do happen. Your original post suggested that prior to seeing said video, you didn't realise that these things actually happened.

as said earlier, a lot of things go on in the world you can only imagine.
WW1 & WW2 etc, I wasn't there but some nasty things went off I'm sure of it. Not saying I ever want to be in a situation to see it. We had these wars for our freedom we have in OUR country now.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world sometimes doesn't seem to have moved on with the times. Just on the news today you hear of a woman in prison for marrying a Christian. A woman being stoned to death for wanting to be with someone from the next willage, Two teenagers raped then hung, 200 christian girls being taken.

Some countries view on religions and genders it beggers belief.

I'm glad I don't live in a country like that. But I'm not blind to knowing what goes off. I am disappointed in humanity/society that it still goes on.

You can't sort out everything in the world. Look after yourself, your friends and family first.

I saw the OP's link. It was inhuman. I cannot imagine being the 2nd in line. Seeing someone that I presume you know meeting their maker that way. ( I'm trying to keep this Un-emotional). It was beyond barbaric. I want to turn the clock back to the days when you could leave your doors unlocked and could let your children walk to school.
