Yeah I did think it through. Did you?

If you can't see how someone would come to that conclusions then I don't know what to tell you.



Because maybe, just maybe, he wasn't try to save his arse, but someone elses. Ever thought of that?

He's been held captive for almost 2 years. Think they might've found a button to push to coerce him to say that?



Perhaps, but don't you think they may have pushed him past the point of giving a shite? You can push a person to the point they realize that no matter what they do you're still going to kill them. Once they reach that point is when they generally take on a "go frick yourself" attitude.

I can look at gore and what not, but when it comes to people breaking limbs or being beheaded I just can't.

Again, he might not have been trying to save himself. Try again.

Of course not. He's the real life John Rambo.

Not even worth discussing it with him. He will never come off the opinion that he would be defiant to the final end, regardless of what carrot was dangled in front of him.

That's Darth breh

And I watched that Berg vid years ago. I have no desire to see anything like that ever again.

Can you imagine the parents of this guy? You know they want to see their son alive for once last time, but not under those conditions.

If it were you, do you watch up until the point in the vid when they start the beheading? I don't think I could.

Yes, but did you stop to think that you wouldn't be of sound mind having been tortured for the last 2 years?

And you, sitting in your chair behind your computer in A/C have no freaking clue what your "attitude" would be in that situation. The guy was on his knees in the dessert with a guy holding a knife dressed in black behind him. Billy Badass doesnt exist in that hell buddy

No.

Most of the time all defiance is taken out of them. They get to a point where they will do anything they want just for it to be over.

I tried finding the video. Thankfully the gawker video wouldn't load. Thought better of it after a minute or two.

I did see the result, though.

As explained before, they have another journalist. Maybe this guy was at the point of "not giving a ****". But, it's possible that he was looking out for the other journalist well being.

The video I saw earlier of ISIS taking truckloads of prisoners and executing them was enough for me

At one point they took them to a dock by a lake, shot them in the head, and tossed their body into the lake, and onto the next victim. Savages and barbarians, all of them

ISIS needs to be destroyed.

There's another reporter in captivity with him. They showed pictures of him, too.
