Default Why do People like seeing others die.

There is a video in which a man dies in front of a Web Camera . Apparently the Psychopaths were encouraging the man to die. would you do the same and go to the extent of supporting and encouraging a person to die..

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be

Like:
"Killed by the husband" ...
"Drowned by the ocean" ...
"Shot by his own son" ...
"She used a poison in his tea,
Then (she) kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies.

Don't look me at like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other (you)
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child,
Watches him die,
Hands to the sky cryin "why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die from a distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Nor brightest of stories told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'

I need to watch things die from a good safe distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain fallin' down
Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire, part warrior,
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal.
Sing to the death rattle.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
But pull your head on out (of) your hippie haze
And give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again

The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...

We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire.

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.

Because they are filled with so much rage about the dramatic flaws in life, and in the behavior of humanity, and filled with depression, and just seeing a human suffer, brings joy.

I like gore and death. I've always liked that stuff. Something about death and the fear of it... seeing it is kind of exciting and just fills me with questions. Fear of the unknown. It's boggling.
I'd have to admit that I wouldn't encourage someone to kill themself, though. That's just too fucked up even for me.

People are afraid to face their own mortality, considering that no one has a concrete fact pertaining to an existance after life.

Fear of the unkown and uncertainty, yada yada yada.


That and they're absolute sissies.

Since when are 'the Psychopaths' getting together as a collective? Do they have a club or something?

I might say stuff like "kill you" or "I hope you die" but I'm very scared of death.
I'm terrified of death :( I don't want to die, I don't want anyone to die.

Seeing people die means you know that there's one less person in the world that can make your life more inconvenient, and thus you can sleep a little easier

Same goes for watching inanimate objects get blown up/ blended

Lets get this out there. I've seen countless suicide videos and, I shit you not, every single picture hosted on ye olde ogrish.com. I also frequent uncoverreality.com.

I don't like the fact that someone else died or got injured. However, it happened, and no amount of regret and sorrow can ever change what happened. The human mind is a demented thing which is curious for the morbid and macabre. I don't see why the two cannot coexist. I see it as a learning experience, mostly from a medicinal and endurance standpoint.

Many people wonder what happens after death.

I know.

Because the people don't view the person they're seeing in the computer screen as a real person, if it was somebody they knew(and didn't hate), you could bet that most of them would not encourage them.

The video doesn't work. Fail.

This thread reminds me of the movie Untraceable (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0880578/).

I will admit, I do enjoy a good shock video. Sadly, it is rare when one actually shocks me anymore. Any good finds anyone?

Edit: whatdoyaknow, I found one. this (http://forum.uncoverreality.com/audio-video/52789-murderers-brutally-kill-man-camera-beware-sickest-thing-you-will-ever-see.html) is a bit on the edge.

Actually it does work you just have to download it and get the proper video player for it.
