hahah damn you…as soon as I saw the vid I came back to the thread to say that it reminded me of the vampires from blade 2.
All I’m saying PX, is I feel like watching said videos has not made me worse of a human being.

This is inescapably true. Everything you ingest determines who you become.
I don’t see this being true. It’s how you take that information and what you do with it.
What? You think you can experience something significant and it will have ZERO effect on you in the long run? In what event in life does this hold true? Rape? Murder? Beatings? You could watch all of this passively and you believe it will have ZERO effect on how you think?
The ONLY way that could be true is if you were desensitized to it from viewing it over and over…which in and of itself means you have altered how you think.
i agree with Jahova. Two different women could each take an equally brutal raping. One recover to a degree that she could function in society and in relationships to a degree that you would never know unless she confided it to you. The other one might not handle it at all and lead the life of a scared hermit there after. Obviously most women would fall somewhere between these two extremes.
That is really the conclusion you arrived at? I have known way too many women who have been raped before and to most people it would never be apparent that they were. That doesn’t mean they weren’t very damaged by it and it usually manifested itself in the bedroom or when it came to any significant emotional relationship…neither of which have much say in how successful someone is.
You are basically saying that because some people cope better than others that this means they weren’t mentally effected?[/quote]
I’m not saying some might not be mentally effected, I’m saying differently effected and the way some people are effected is much worse than others. Genetic predisposition is in some ways a bigger determinate in who we are than our cumulative life experiences.
