Why support it if you cannot stomach it?

I've received PMs from people regarding "shocking" images. While I understand the shock value of such images, I find it odd, for instance that people who do not consider a fetus as alive would find the products of conception as "shocking". Or people who support war would find images of war "shocking".

If you cannot even look at it, how do you support it?

you are being silly.
of course images of war are shocking,to normal people seeing someone dead is a shocking thing.
i think that the second world war was a just fight on englands' part but i still dont want to see images of german soliders who have been blown to bits/gutted/decapitated.
why on earth would i?

What is more important is why do you need to post such images? It would seem all you want is a reaction to see what people say, not for anything that be remotely considered compassionate or sympathetic.

But if you support it, why would you care?

 

It would seem you aren't going to answer my question, why not?

 

Because thats not my question. If you find yourself reacting to such images, what does say about your ideology?

 

I react to those images with sympathy but understanding as well for someone who does not want something shouldn't keep it for it would only become mistreated and eventually could end up abused and dead anyway.

 

So you think its justifiable to support bombing people because they would have died anyway?

So you're fine with it, as long as someone else is doing the blowing to bits, gutting and decapitation on your behalf? You don't want to see or know what is happening?

 

Yes, how do Republicans not support abortion, yet overwhelming support the invasion of Muslim countries? What about the thousands of fetuses dead in Afghanistan and Iraq. Abortion on the largest scale imaginable.

 

That's because they are arrogant.

 

Your "twisting" of my words only shows that you want to be confrontational so I'm going to stop with this nonsense.

 

There is no twisting. How is future mistreatment any justification for killing people?

I think blood and guts naturally make most people squeamish. Most people support invasive surgery, but get sick or are disgusted by watching the procedure. I think something about viewing the interior of your own or another person's body makes most people freak out, so maybe its a natural human response. People don't seem to be to bother when looking at a dead body at a wake or funeral, but then their guts aren't on display either. People even flip out when they watch a needle be inserted into their skin or watch the tube when blood is being drawn, which is why doctor's usually don't like the patients to look. Just because you don't like to watch large needles being inserted into you or watching your blood pour into a bag doesn't mean you don't support blood donation.

 

So would you call a needle insertion or a picture of a surgical procedure as "shocking"?

 

So basically its a squeamish reaction that would enable war and abortion as a hypothetical concept, as long as they did not have to come face to face with the blood and gore aspect of it. How weird.

 

I differentiated between people who do not support it and those who do. One would think the squeamish would not enable stuff they cannot even bear to look at.
