The Dark Web thread made me wonder if we've come as far as it's possible to go or are we always going to push the boundaries of depravity? Are the things getting discussed in that thread going to become the norm in say 5 - 10 years?
I hope not. I've got four children and i worry like any other parent what they're going to be subjected to.

I don't think that will ever become the norm. There's always going to be an underbelly of society but the numbers involved are almost negligible. The internet's just cast a light on the lowest of the low.

I don't think we have become 100% desensitised. For example, yes when you here that someone has died on the news - you wouldn't bat an eyelid. When you see a dead body on television, in all honesty half of it doesn't even look as bad as the movies you watch, therefore you are just a bit - 'meh'.
However, seeing it in real life would be different. If I saw an execution in real life, I would imagine it would be gut-wrenching. *, I cut my * on my fly when i was 15 and tiny bit of blood came out and I went pale and nearly fainted. :56:
These things will never become the norm though. -
What the * ?
-
I went through a wee phase of watching snuff, lasted about 6 weeks but i was always sickened by it and never made it to the ends of the videos.
It does worry me that what is available on the the normal web is small potatoes compared to what is a download away on the dark web. My sons are far more computer literate than me and far more subjective. -

Aye, as I mentioned in the Dark Net thread, I watched about 20 seconds of the Ken Bigley be-heading video and I felt sick, seeing a knife go into someones throat and them struggle for life is just, its soul destroying. And because you know he died aswell...

The world is *.
edit- wrong thread should of been on the dark web one:52:Last edited by a moderator: Mar 17, 2014 -
Last one I watched was the Russian guys torturing that poor * in the forest, with the hammer and screwdriver.
I watched about 80 seconds of that and have never watched anything like that again. -
As someone who has had a bit of "Pure O OCD" in the past if I watched any * up videos like that, that would be me finished probably. There would be no going back. :smiley-laughing002:

The * is that? Get that tae * ya weirdo.

Depends what you mean really, things that get shown on tv now would not have been shown 10 years ago so yes I reckon it will get more graphic. People now are (or make on anyway) hardened to more I think.
There are examples, I would say for anyone old enough to remember the 1st gulf war some reporters started to show the road to bagdad and it caused uproar as people didnt want to see that level of graphic detail, also during that war believe it or not there was some actual trench fighting/clearing (I just know) but that has, as far as I am aware never been reported on.
Not as though any of this bothers me, as I have no kids, so I sleep well. (ish) -

* is that? I hope you aren't parousing those sort of websites....
Aw, the three men one hammer? Aye I watched a bit of that in school years ago. Someone had it on their mobile. Its disgusting. I don't understand how a human can be so brutal and continue that level of brutality, when someone is in such pain. Its mental. -
* up beyond all boundries.

Aye very clever :52: -
Was a screenshot from a website on the dark web.
I found the screenshot on another football forum.
Just incase anyone thinks I was on that website and took a screenshot.:smiley-laughing002: -
The internet is playing a huge part in this. It's far too unregulated and children have easy access to material that they are just too young to be exposed to. This drastically affects their perception of what is right and wrong as well as their perception of what is normal and what isn't. Internet * is probably the most striking example, sexual attitudes amongst young people have changed beyond recognition in the last 20-30 years. Some of the stuff I see young lads saying on here is just pure filth and far beyond the way me and my mates used to talk when we were teenagers discussing girls or *. I don't think it's a change for the better I have to say.
Society is far too liberal nowadays. The attitude of many people seems to be 'let other people do what the * they want as long as they're no bothering me'. I think that's a * poor attitude and not one that is going to do the human race any favours moving forward.
Man's rejection of * is what allows this sort of attitude to flourish but I'm not even going to bother going down that path as I'm fully tired of debating * and religion with the usual suspects on here. -

*, just realised this wasn't even the dark web thread.
Oh *:56:
Awkward :52:
I'm not a mass murderer I promise. -
:icon_mrgreen:
S'true mate.
I was quite a noob to the internet and only got introduced to that side of it in about 2010. watched the Budd Dwyer vid, the guy getting set on fire in Asia somewhere, the Chechen beheadings and the three guys one hammer *. Never once could I finish the video.
After about a minute and a half into the 8 minute Russian torture video I gave myself a slap and stopped watching that *, it was depressing me. -

I should of mentioned in the OP.
Even repeated images of war, natural disasters etc on the news, in my opinion, adds to this viewpoint. They're just as much to blame as your sickos on the darkweb.
