.....I just don't want to......look at horrid photos or links to things that are disturbing. Other days I have no problem with opening every link around. Am I alone?
 
I am sorry to say that although, of course, I find horrible links unpleasant....I have a very solid stomach for such nasties.....
 
I generally do - maybe it's because I have flu and don't feel quite myself.

Thing is, I know that all of these links and photos are good for me to see so I always make myself look in the end, however sometimes it is not till the next day.

I've always had this thing that you can't fight for or against something unless you delve into it and see things which you'd rather not see.

I am not in anyway suggesting that this applies to anyone on here, but one problem with never seeing the gory or disturbing details of life is that you never see the true reality of such situations. My partner wont look at anything on TV or the net that is in the least bit disturbing but then he does not have the same passion I do about injustice and suffering.
 
I tend to always look at things that are labelled sensationally; i guess it just some kind of need to know what's going on. im of the opinion that if you shy away from the truth, you will never fully be able to grasp what is going on in the world.

hmmmmm.....shying away.....

Tia, you STILL havent answered my question. i think it is quite rude to lay accusations at someone's feet, and then be unable/unwilling to back them up! as you said, you apologise when proven wrong. but why are you unwilling to prove yourself right?????
 
some days it does seem that every other post is a "video nasty".

i pick and choose the ones to open..some are duplicates of each other, so i only open them the once...

oh dear, one thing i dont admire in a person is weakness. dya know, whatever my faults may be, i have always prided myself in being able to admit when i am in the wrong. its not that you dont feel like 'wasting your time'...otherwise you
wouldnt have taken the time to type that response!

'sorry - i made a mistake' is a lot quicker to type than that poor excuse you have just given!

indeed....for about 4 days! then i discovered i couldnt do without the forum, so i came back (with tail between my legs, i might add!) i did apologise at the time, i was rather hypocritical!

I generally open a post which says "nasty" or "disturbing" see what the replies are like then decide.

I have a massive fear of dead things, and gory stuff really makes me ill and I will have nightmares about it for ages. However, wounds and the like on living things I can cope with.

When I was doing my degree I had to disect a lot of horse parts and it wasn't to bad when I was disecting, but as soon as I had to hold anything or watch someone else do it, I was very nearly ill!!! The worst was when we were disecting a leg and they left the skin on so were could see the colour of the horse. That made me a bit weezy!! But for the name of science I carried on... glad I'm doing my masters in Equine Sport not Science!!!!!!

I usually open them. I have strong stomach and don't let that type of thing effect me. Don't get me wrong I do feel sorry for the horses, I'm not a cold person. I'm usually the first to cry when an animal is killed in films.
 
I tend not to open those that I know will upset me. I am not going to look at the horse trailer accident one that's someone posted today. I can imagine quite well what's in it. I don't need to see.

I tend not to open them either. I don't mind the "medical" ones, as I'm happy to cope with injuries and blood in real life, but I really don't like to see pictures of neglected, mistreated, starving or dead horses. They just upset me and I would rather not be upset on a daily basis. I know that these things occur, but I would rather not look at them.
 
I think much depends on what the picture or clip is about. I looked at the abbatoir video as it was something I had not experienced and felt I should know more about before I formulated an opinion. I did not look at the trailer accident clip because I did not think I would gain anything positive from it.
 
Most of the time I avoid those kinds of posts. I get no joy out of viewing or reading horrible stuff.
Some days, I read and look at everything.
I am not squeamish, I just don't want to look at or read depressing stuff most of the time.

Sometimes if I'm having a bad day then I don't open links that I know will upset me. But mostly I make myself open them, like the trailer accident today. Not sure if its morbid fascination, or if I just don't want to bury my head in the sand
