The discussion centers around the troubling phenomenon of children being encouraged to fight by adults, as depicted in a controversial video. Participants express outrage over the behavior of the adults involved, labeling it as abusive and indicative of deeper societal issues. There is a debate about whether such behavior is common in America, with many asserting that it is not representative of the broader population but rather a manifestation of poor parenting and social dysfunction. The conversation touches on themes of dehumanization, with some arguing that labeling individuals as "sub-human" is offensive and counterproductive. Concerns are raised about the long-term impact on children exposed to violence and the potential for perpetuating cycles of abuse and crime. The discussion also highlights the existence of violence in various forms across cultures, suggesting that while such incidents may be shocking, they are not unique to any one society. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of condemnation for the actions shown in the video and a broader commentary on societal violence and its roots.

To call some human beings sub-human is extremely offensive to me.
I remember seeing a video of a guy messing around with a skateboard and then I don't remember what happened, but for some reason he started hitting some guy over the head with the trucks of his skateboard. That guy hit over the head died that night or the next day. Another video I recall watching was some group of kids thinking it would be fun to kick some dog laying on the ground a bunch of times. Another video which many people have probably seen is the one in which some gangster talks about how he don't care bout nobody/whatever and then takes a crowbar to a passing car's windows and whatever...

Now, those are just videos that I have seen. There are people who rape/kill/torture/whatever who are much worse than those who I mentioned. Many people have such a disregard for human life, that they would be able to kill thousands with their bare hands without feeling any emotion, except for joy in the even more twisted ones.

It is offensive to ME to be categorized in the same group as those people.

EDIT: Actually, it's not offensive to me at all, I just added that in there just to add to the drama :biggrin:
