"It's unfair this being so funny. I'm still emotionally traumatized from the red wedding."

You better stop watching, because it only gets worse...and worse...

It's unfair this being so funny. I'm still emotionally traumatized from the red wedding.

She doesn't even look traumatized.

Geeez Mr. Bus Driver...Help calm the poor doe down and get her out of the bus before she injures and traumatizes herself anymore....What a pussy!

Traumatizing your kids is fun!

How is this "poor support on the part of the VA"? Yes, clearly his pain was not being adequately addressed, but he got an extreme surgery at a private hospital without relief of his symptoms. In my opinion, the VA doctors did the right thing by not operating without knowing that it would improve his pain. Now he is in pain without bowel function, worse off than he was before. I don't know the details of his injuries, but some spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury patients have neurogenic pain that is unrelieved by any intervention let alone surgery.

You can recover from being raped. You can't recover from being murdered. While rape is certainly traumatic and can cause physical harm, it's still nowhere close to being dead.

As for rehabilitation's efficacy, how many criminals are repeat offenders? If rehabilitation worked, there would be no such thing as a repeat offender.

You are correct, though, in regards to our current implementation of the death penalty being ineffective. For one, the death penalty is very rarely handed out. You stand a much better chance of getting a life sentence. Even if you do get the death penalty, you'll likely sit on death row for years before being executed. In fact, this is often a benefit to prisoners, as they are separated from the rest and don't have to worry about being raped or beaten. Free food, free room, no threats from other prisoners and you don't have to worry about anything because you already know you're going to die. And when you are finally executed, it is done in the most humane (and unnecessarily elaborate and expensive) way possible. If you're a sociopath who has accepted or even embraced your own death, this is hardly the worse way to go.

The death penalty isn't the ultimate penalty, either. There are some people who don't care about living and therefore don't care about dying. To them, death means nothing. However, being forced to live a life of pain and suffering isn't appealing to anyone, no matter how apathetic they may be. If the penalty for any crime was to have your arms, legs and eyes removed, be hooked up to the necessary IVs to survive and then forced to endure daily torture for the rest of your life, I guarantee crime rates would drop substantially. Fear is an incredibly effective tool at keeping people in check. It's when people stop being scared of punishment that rules start being broken.

There is a huge difference between DMT and other psychedelics. Just do a little research. If you take it all the way it is just as far as a person can go. Whether it is real or not is obviously subjective. Not sure what the question is but that it is definitely beneficial, for some. Even if one gets a terrifying traumatic one, like I have. But, to do that I think a person has to know how to use them to his or her advantage, they can be used as tools. The perceptions on DMT are not like the reality enhancing ones on normal doses of psychedelics. It completely changes normal reality into a new reality, incomprehensible and beyond normal human imagination and when I say that I am using human words and being very humble since most people will never see... well until they die, possibly.

cool. interesting...thanks.
one variant - chronic traumatic encephalopathy

This kid is really going to be really traumatized whenever he sees a duck from now on!

....and there's that meaningless filler word "actually" again (description)-
The so-called, New World Order is in place and working fine with the complicity of peeps on both sides of meaningless debates addressing lamely, symptoms and temporary treatments for inoperable colon cancer.

Alex Jones (douchebag) needs to move to Bogata where can stretch his cocaine dollar...circa 1940 prices down there!

ooops, I meant to up-vote this viddy, sorry-Hedges has a handle on the dynamics and the soldiers they interviewed like he surmises will come back traumatized and the ones that gain self-awareness.???....these are the Afghan children you want to donate once a month to to insure they have enough food on their tables.

This is amazing. But did the leopard at some point go back and eat the mother baboon? Because I can imagine that might be a bit traumatic for little Jr. there...

I agree, the media completely slobbers over this shit. I live in Nebraska and when we had the mall shooting in Omaha, I remember reading an article about it where the author seemed utterly gleeful and compared the shooting to us joining an elite club. I wanted to punch the guy.

Banning media coverage from this sort of stuff would have a significant impact I think since they do this to get attention and there is no bigger attention than national media coverage.

I'm sorry, we just don't need to have interviews and tons of photos. It's always the same thing. Of course they're traumatized, of course they're greiving, of course they're shocked. DUH. Even businesses latch on as much as they can use the tragedy as an excuse to post some fake mournful post on facebook/twitter/etc

We talked about this just last week, when colourized video footage of traumatized soldiers was on the telly: 32:12 - 33:12.
