Re: Uncommon Opinions

I take it you don't watch the news on a nightly basis?

I mostly get news from online

Re: Uncommon Opinions

See, again, I looked at the George video, and didn't cringe or whatever. I did say "ouch" though.

HOWEVER, I can't watch surgery videos. Those do make me queasy.

OS sure loves the term douche. I encounter the term more times here in a week than I do in a calendar real world year.

Health class made me weak. Just talking about what's happening inside the human body makes me uneasy. Video is something I avoid at all cost. Won't even begin to describe the horror that was my daughter's birth. Men do not belong in a delivery room.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Now I know these vids we're discussing here are from publicly broadcasted events....
But now there is always someone taking video of some pretty horrific events...gruesome car accidents....at fires...sometimes graphic things of people who are already suffering.
Then it's posted for everyone to see.
I swear...I'd love to grab every one of those phones and throw them under the rig and drive over them.

(oh....this should go it the "grind's gear's thread!)

Re: Uncommon Opinions

You can be interested in it all you like. No need to go all internet reporter "I must post this for all the world to see!" mode with it.

Btw I dont just mean these sports injuries. There are worse way worse videos people post on timelines that have no business being there. You cant blame "interest" with those douchbags.

See you touched on what I actually was about to say. Introducing that on the same sphere as the athlete injuries, which it isn't, would make this about something completely different. The bold is generally meant to cause internet outrage for people to spout off angry messages in the comments. That stuff just sucks.

My feelings are on the sports things. It's newsworthy. Words will never be the best medium for that and generally if something isn't shared it won't be found. Regardless of how much we hate seeing someone go through something like that, when it's a top athlete, you really can't expect ESPN not to show replays or people not to Vine/record those replays for internet use. Video and photo are more powerful mediums than words. To expect people not to use those, when most scroll through half the words that are posted anywhere, just isn't going to happen.

Cavsfan, I know you said words work just as well, but online that just isn't true. It sucks that it does affect you and others, but it's the way most people get their news these days. It's not just because they are purposefully not being courteous to individuals such as yourself.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I guess I see your point. I'm just really sensitive about that stuff.

For example Eric Legrand came to my high school to talk about what he's gone through. I swear when he talked about the moment of impact my whole skin got clammy, I started sweating and got nausea and my vision got all blurry. It was in the middle of an assembly too.so I couldn't get up. Ughh I'm so squeamish lol

My cousin is the same way. He can't go to hospitals unless someone he's really close to is there and he will turn away even during the something like an IV being removed.

Not so much squeamish, but on certain injuries or things on TV News(where they show graphic video from war zones, people shot etc.) I get what feels like a pit in my stomach.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I get nauseous thinking about and taking blood tests and internal mechanisms and all that but I have no real problem watching videos of sports injuries and such.

I'm the exact opposite, I actually enjoy blood tests and donating blood. I watch the needle go in, and sometimes they let you pump blood yourself with a little handheld thing, which is really cool. But gross injury videos and gruesome **** in general, no thanks. I can watch it in a movie and it's cool, but not real life.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

The only thing I can't do is broken bones. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because I had a compound fracture my leg when I was a kid.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I enjoy watching Little League World Series games. The drama in a close game is tenser and better television than anything the College World Series has to offer.

The Little League World series is good, but it's no Scripps National Spelling Bee.

I watch the spelling bee closer and more intensely than any other sporting event.
