as far as ogrish...thats terrible. stuff like that makes me sick...very very sick and apalled and even scared. scared of the world we live in. I have no idea what sort of sick people get anyting out of watching beheadings.

And I have one question for anyone who it may concern: why, when two people get in a fight, is there no attempt made by anyone to break it up, even when it's down to one person just beating the other one when they are down?

They're not deleted...can't you see them? :-p

Okay, it's Enigma's fault. He decided to break GD protocol and be a good citizen about not hijacking a thread, so split that part of the discussion into another thread.
